Have you considered Flickr?

Either way, very very cool. Glad to see that car still giving you joy.

Buddy, these photos weren't taken by me. I'll check with the photog to see if he uses a DSLR.

Maybe someone made it an uncomfortable work environment. Someone.

I guess I'm still not finished....

Guys,

I found a ZO6 grill on eBay for only $150 and pulled the trigger and had it installed today.....

Plus, I did this small mod from something I saw from Pagani, Ferrari and Lamborghini. I call them "Nation Bars". I originally saw Pagani do this. Then Ferrari followed suit and finally Lamborghini. Pagani adds these to their side mirrors and I did too. You may not like them (I expected that....). But they're subtle and I like them!

Dude, believe it or not, I was going to get one in Carbon Fiber. But the total price, installed, would have been close to $1,500........no.

Thanks brother! I think it looks great too-I can't put my finger on it, but it does look......better (for lack of a better term).

and for the record using a little psychology here...you preemptively said we won't like the stickers on the mirror because I don't think you even truly like the stickers on the mirror.

reverse psychology!
I mean it's cool that the exotics are doing it, kinda...but not even...there's no way around it looking like you put a bandaid on your mirror, cheapens the car!

Happy Holidays, Steven...hope you guys are having an awesome one.

Still one of the best looking C7s out there. No need for crazy mods, just nice, simple changes that compliment it.

Guys, thanks for pointing this out! AcuraZine was originally submitted, but for some reason, did not make it in. I wrote to them about this today and it was added back in!
