rondog, don't let us rush you
take your time with the kit and make it perfect. in the end, the wait will be well worth it. i don't release my products until i feel they're perfect, no matter what management says.
... just don't give up! my baby's gonna look sweet with my new servos and this kit!

Unfortuneatly, getting the supplier to think the same way I do takes a little more time, but I know they are capable of it, with myself as the catalist.
Any word on the kit Ron? I'd like to see you stay with it to completion as it's a very nice kit.

GOT PICS, looks great, I couldn't be happier. Just came back from a 2 hour install. the 3M tape was to recessed, but that is a simple fix, the shots you are about to see are without 3M tape, just the screws on the inner wheel well. Gimme an hour, I need to eat something before I pass out.

Now, in all the exitment, I didn't use the 3M tapoe, just the tapping screws. and the front passenger side was a little lower on one side. I noticed a slight bend there, so I went back out, adjusted it and the bend is gone. its still in the pics tho. I'm gonna reshoot the car cleaned and in a nice area later. The rest of the kits are now being made and will take about a week. So as they come out the mold, we will ship them out. call in to place the balances.
Behold...

wow that is amazing man. congrats on all your hardwork ron. in the end everything paid off and came out the way you wanted. this kit is a very bad thing for me I have to let you know. it is going to be very hard for me not to mod the CL now with this kit available. However hopefully the need of a set of 19s and coilovers to go along with the kit will keep me to only modding the tsx since that would cause me to drop 5k into the CL if I were to get kit, wheels, and coilovers. Once again man congrats on well designed and rediculously hot looking kit.

I think it could look pretty good with OEM wheels, if you dropped the car and upgraded tires to a 225/45/17. Just a matter of opinion. Def has the same dramatic visual impact of say a set of 18" wheels. Some Servos would look real nice on the CL with the kit. Wait till you see Dustin's.

Thanks, but that would be too big of a risk to invest that much $ into such an aged car, no offence. But with preorders, anything is possible!

Finally what we all have been waiting for. 
An awsome job Ron...so feakn accurate..it looks 1k times better painted..I can't wait to put it on my car.
Well I am currently in Japan for a company project, but I will be back State side in 3 weeks. So I will call in to pay the rest of my balance then. Hope that is not too late.

actually, that was my intention from the begining, hnece the small groove to mask off the lower section. However, I opted to go with all silver and let the angle give the lower part between the exhasut openings shade it enough to look darker. and it ends up with a fuller look. the black painted version would look like it was empty.
