Ya ill try replacing them, I am installing the headlights this weekend so I will post some pictures after. I like the grille they got me. lol...



@Ricky - What kind of aftermarket hood did you get? Is it carbon fiber? haha[/quote]

HAHA it wouldn't be a problem if it was carbon fiber! Its a steel hood, not sure what the OEM is but it was def lighter.

For us it's at about 100k since we're considered to be living in "extreme" weather conditions. I did mine at about 110k I think.

100k-120k is the usual zone to get it done in. I did mine at 160k, no signs of wear at all, who knows though, it could just randomly snap at anytime.

Dealership told me every 50k for valve lash adjustment, I havent done one yet on mine, I plan to in the spring.

The current color looked awesome. Stick to a shade if you are going to change it, dont go with a color, it would loose the luxury style that it currently has imo.

What they said. Only thing is if you upgrade to an 07/08 bumper your gonna have to buy fog lights and different lower bumper grille. Which means more $$$! Do your research before pulling the trigger on anything.

ya, i was hoping to get a TL-S bumper.
Since it is much better looking.
Plus the fog lights would be a nice addition.
Shouldnt be too hard to install myself.
if anyone in the area knows a shop that deals with wrecks, i may be able to find one with a decent used bumper.

You're going to have to paint the bumper regardless. Usually if its an aftermarket bumper, you will not see "acura" in the front of the bumper.

Foglight housings are super cheap on ebay, they arent glass though. Which is better IMO.

My TL-S's bumper was broken for over a year because I was waiting to find one from the wreckers, no luck in that department.

Sanjay, I'm letting the BBS go for 2500$ for Acurazine members. This deal includes the Project Kics spacers and burning blue extended lug nuts from Muteki. So you will basically get similar stance I had last summer. It has brand new front tires with less than 2000 kms on them.

I will put it up on kijiji shortly for 2700$ without the spacers and lug nuts.

Jeff, around last week of June.

i believe you can have a new oem bumper from vendors on here for under $300, still gotta paint it though. If you go the 07/08 route, i have fog light grills i can sell you

Major +1 to that. The glass ones will get pitted and eventually get cracked by a rock. Mine cracked on the day I bought the car. Switched it over to lexan a few months ago and it's been fine since.

well, i managed to fix the broken bumper up a bit.
couple of holes and some mechanics wire.
That will hold it together for awhile.
At least until after winter is over with.

Much appreciate it

@EDMGenerTL - You can always check junk yards like hondatoy or blackgold auto import for bumpers as well.

@Jordan - Hands down grab the Mugen lip. The a-spec lip looks just like the TL-S front lip, not a fan. Get some orange wheels while you're at it

@Sanjay - Lol what happened to getting a new set of wheels that have yet to be released? How was the fitment when you had the shines on your ride? Did you need spacers to clear brembo's? If you don't buy them I would seriously consider depending on how they fit.
