Drop it at least a little... you will NOt regret the upgrade in handling.

Update... So I've been shopping.

I'm looking for a set of these and I think I found them...
Work Eurolines...

I also picked up one of these...
I plan to make the whole car into a KA9 LEGEND and remove all the ACURA and the 3.5RL badges and replace them, The above grill was the wrong one, but the only I could find online, here is the Honda Legend grill.

As of yesterday the headlights for the conversion should be on their way from "Japan in the next few days.

Crystal clear housings with built in Honda HIDs. Just need the front bumper and then paint and all done.


I also found a set of wheels for as well...

Well, the STERNS were too small for the look I wanted so I went ahead and put them up for sale.

so I went out yesterday and bought these...



19" RH Evo (19x8+35)


Mint condition, with tires, spacers, and all individually wrapped and packaged up from Texas. Pics soon. :)

Well, I found the final piece for the car that i needed. Front bumper was picked up Friday and then I just need to get 2 more small parts from Acura.

A rear windshield lower molding and then the new piece for the front "bulkhead" for the core support that will have the new hood latch.

I might also pick up a new front lip from Acura... surprisingly it's the cheapest thing I've found from the dealer for this car.


Also, I needed to take care of some camber issues I had up front. Eating through tires on the front end every 3 months isn't not fun... So I also order new inner and outer tie rods and new axles just to have those taken care of.

Thanks to JustRob for helping me get those parts from Acura.

Another option is to sell the Honda Legend front grill and mimic what this guy did with his...


I might go ahead and black out the grill like the one pictured earlier...
