Thank you very much man. It's the factory accessory wheel, they are hard to come by now. You can order it from http://www.acurapartswarehouse.com/a...ing-wheel.html

It would be the 1st steering wheel you see.

You've done very nice work on that WDP. I prefer the look of the 04-06 front end with the accord fogs than the newer front and i also prefer the Aspecs over the gold wheels .....i just think in those pics it looked sooo fresh and clean.....but of course i may be a bit biased.

Either way looking real good and good luck with the blower. In a couple weeks i'll start working on my blower build too. Lets keep in touch as we both take it on.

Absolutely awesome progress thread...so well documented and executed. And you consistently have taken good photos. Keep up the great work!

And I love that you picked a wheel and pretty much stuck with it. (I'm guessing aspec is your winter set up).

PS. Please ship your steering wheel to me in exchange for my well worn one. In addition I will send you a crisp fitty dollar bill to sweeten the pot. Deal?

YOUR MY FUCKING HERO BRO! Thanks buddy, the car currently has about 92K now ... Getting closer to 100K. I still don't know why UPS gave me crap for sending an entire roof to you!! I'll be on your thread after I finish posting on this.

Thank you!! The works are 19 inch.
The specs are

Front: 19x8 +34 Hi-disk (clears BBK)
Rear: 19x9 +36 Low-disk (maximum lip)

YO MAS!! What's up man?! Thanks buddy, I did like the front end of the 04-06 with accord fogs, but like the aggressive look of the Type-s. A lot of people like the A-spec's over the goldies.. The works were put on to be a bit different from the rest of the coward. It seemed at every meet you would see 5 or 9 guys rocking the same wheels with different offsets. TO BE HONEST, after seeing pictures of those Ronjons wheels on my car, I would like them again Congrats on your blower journey, it's all exciting plus nerve racking all at the same time. I shall have my car done very soon

SUP BROSKI! HAHAHA Awesome bro, thanks! You have done an amazing job on your car. Ive been playing with myself LMAO. A-specs are the winter setup, the car itself doesn't really see snow anyway but they are nice and smooth to ride on compared to the work wheels. Hey man, If I sent Tyler my entire roof through UPS, I don't see why this deal won't work out

Thank you bro! Yes indeed money pit, I learned you should do it once and do it right. I also miss those RJ's, though they aren't as head turning as the works but damn not going to lie they were built better..

I hear you bro! I've fallen off "going to meets" for a long time. This is it for me, I want to go have fun and win a trophy or even get in a magazine. Don't worry man, go to them and have fun!

Your car has come a long way , I remember seeing you post pictures of the works every now and then and thinking to myself, I need that same exact set up.

All you need now is a set of type S headlights to finish off the front.

Baby steps man, let's start with the wheel...if it works out, we'll deal with Tyler's roof. Savvy?

PS...I agree about the ride. I actually would love to see how some stock 17's feel for a nice cozy ride with a 45 series tire. If I find a cheap set nearby, I'll likely pick them up.

I understand brotha, most of the guys in my area are always selling stockies. I prefer comfort over looks to be honest with you.

Thank you man! My leather is getting worn now, it's the crap shit acura uses. I sold the AEM FIC because it was very hard to find a NJ turner who can install it and wire the unit correctly, then dyno tune and ect ect. I'm almost done with the install, the weather has been so cold my balls have fallen off. Once I'm completely done will post up some results! I can't wait to hear the WHINE
