And no I won't do a part out yet, I am thinking that those things I did to the car won't get me much $ if I part them out, and it might be a good selling point you know. Custom lights, one of a kind type shit haha But wheels might be for sale if the buyer (if I get one) doesn't want them or wants the price to be lower without the wheels. And yes, those shines would look great on the car. I will keep you posted for sure what happens with them. There might be a bidding war between you and jbond tho, we'll just see who wants them more haha

Okay we can always get the soldering done this Saturday if we do the detail. Lol my car would look weird if I only got wheels and no coilovers. Unless you want to trade the shines for my type-s wheels with cash on top

I'm not willing to spend too much on wheels at the moment though haha.

Hopefully I can get those lights installed this weekend and see how well the switchbacks and drl kit turn out.

I think wheels might be a good selling point on the car, so I won't be parting that out just yet, but I'm thinking around 1100 with spacers. 2 tires are brand new almost, about a month and a half of driving on them. And other 2 will last this summer at best, lots of camber wear but I moved it to the outside edge of the wheel.

GldCrzy, that looks good, is it just me or the paint of the lip is off?

Myron, I just programmed my switchblade. I found this on ebay. LOL http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-08...d=240787250258

All I have to do is go to a dealership and cut it for me. lol

^ Either that switchblade you linked from ebay isn't OEM or mine isn't. I'm thinking that one isn't. Mine has a button underneath the lock and unlock button for opening the trunk. I don't have those three bumps.

On a side note, I've been watching this for a while

^I just realized that. lol. But mine doesn't look like that, it's genuine. I'm talking about the steps on how to program your switchblade. If you scroll down you will see the instructions on how to do it. I just did mine and it is working properly, I just saved myself 80$.

the gold sparked too many "looks ok, if you did this....'" or "doesnt look right"

for fogging, nope. the lense was a lil cloudy from working on them, but i just wet sanded them the other day and buffed them. now they're lookin all good again

Southview Acura told me it's not doable because it doesn't have any grooves. Then I called Millwoods Honda, Westside Acura, and more than 5 locksmiths and they can't do it. lol.

huh I don't know. I guess Heeltoe is the best option then. They charge 60$ for cutting and then shipping, so you are looking at around 80$, those 80$ you saved.

I saw a SSM 3G TL lowered with tl-s rims and custom quad exhaust without a-spec kit. Pretty sweet, I was going to try talk to him but got no chance.

^ I spotted a white TL-S near northgate yesterday with black tl-s rims. The car looked good but the black wheels seemed to blend in too much with the tires.

@Myron - Are we still good for Saturday's detail?

@GldCrzy - Hmm I'm on the fence with 3M di-noc on the b-pillars. I've put some of it on my interior trim but prefer the pillars looking glossy black. Did you try buffing out the pillars?

@jbond2099 - I've read plenty about the Redline ATF but decided to do my 3x3 ATF with Amsoil ATF. I definitely felt a difference after doing the 3x3. My shifts were much smoother and down shifts were noticeably less rough.

Weather is going to be craptacular this Saturday. If you would rather wait until a nicer day, we can try for next Saturday. Let me know which you would prefer.

Seen this in Magrath parking lot. Cleared headlights, but condensed as fuck. Ricky, I think that's the look you should go with.

Hey way to copy me! Haha looks great man. Your 3G looks nice as well.

I'm going to be doing the rest of the trim around the windows to match because I have cracking in mine.
