Oh and at the Bonita jump in Tigard..went a lil too fast and scraped the bottom. Hood bent I think cuz it doesn't sit like it does in those pics..got a lil bit of a gap above the headlights and grill now. Dunno how to fix it. Ima take off the bumper and remove the res this weekend and see if I can tweak anythin to get it back to normal but Im so ticked bout this right now. Hate that stupid railroad crossing...

yea same here, I'm about to paint mine black, as cool as colored ones are, you are drawing attention away from the car and towards your calipers. Unless you have a BBK, that looks cool. And your friend doesnt know better, you would smoke his accord easily with his mods lol

Yea I was thinkin black for a while too but I like the idea of keepin red accents for my type s and I think it would look good..especially with my rotors. It'll make it look like I have a BBK without havin to spend the $$ for a BBK
Haha..I did smoke his Accord. Got tired of his ish so I met up with him one weekend and just hit the wilsonville back roads..did a few runs on the long straight away roads. Hit VTEC in 2nd and it was over..LOL Can't wait to have some money for some engine mods tho..I'm thinkin Icebox

yeah part of me wishes I pushed it more to the side but I didn't want to block the fogs or mess up the look of the aspec lines that come down.

I think it looks unique and different and I guess thats all that matters and you're in with me on the look so that's an added bonus lol

My Bad. I just started looking into it. I have been hanging with a bunch of peeps from
8th Gen Civic and thought I would start seeing what the Acura crew is up to and when the next meet is. Still gotta put something of a profile up too. And yes, I do have a 05 TL.

btw... anyone wanna buy my newly acquired 240sx?
all good but three things to fix. needs new front brake pads, alignment, and fix the infamous ka24de timing chain rattle. other than that its in top notch condition for 16 years old.
