Get you some JDM tails, projectors, and side marker up by the mirror and you'll have it done. Looking good man, I've always liked your car.

Art:

I think both your car and mine can benefit from some nice coilovers. My car has the exact same stance as yours with the rear slightly lower than the front which really (I know I am picky) bugs me.

Also, I am going to go to a two post spoiler in a couple weeks...

Probably got it done when he got the whole car repainted by Christina....which looks very nice by the way. As far as cost goes, thats not my business. >>

Oh and also, you DO want Tein SS coilovers. I love mine, but now the next step is swap...... >>

i've always wanted my raiser blocks to have different coloring in the gt-four letters.... my car is being painted white diamond pearl (2005 acura tl white) this winter, what color should i get the letters painted?? my wheels are bronze, if that helps you any...


edit: Very attractive car Lagos... your car has always been a favorite of mine, and now it got even better cause the gt4 spoiler is just freakin hot... nice, very very very nice work >>

Nice work Lagos >>
I like how doGGy painted the raisers, it matches the car.
Like Bulldog said you'll need JDM projectors and tailight to finish it off.

call me crazy , but was was riding around wingless for the past few months and now after installing this, the car seems more stable. its probably just in my head, but i swear i can feel a small difference. anyone else notice that after installing a gt4 wing?

Your not crazy mate, the GT4 wing was designed for the WRC models to aid in high speed manouvering and iirc adds 50kg of down force at 60mph + but knocks a few mph off top end due to this.
Also the small spoiler fitted to the rear edge of the GT4 WRC bonnet (hood) and many subsequant models stopped the bonnet flexing at 100mph+
This wing is not just for show!!! form and factor all in one awesome package.
