    Get some nicer wheels and remove that lip and the car will look great.

    I agree with the wheels comments. I actually like the fact that you have chrome (or are they polished?) wheels and not painted ones. But smaller five spoke wheel would be very nice to see. And usually a regular lip doesn't look that bad, but in this case, it doesn't look right. It might look better painted the same color as the car or if you had the entire wrap-around lip.

    BUT MAJOR PROPS!!!!! to you for not putting Honda badges on an Acura!!!!

    Overall you have a good looking car and I'm glad you posted it. Later, QD.

    AWESOME platform... though (in my eyes) lacking a bit on execution. KA9's have styling cues and bodylines that beg for a VIP treatment (full kit, air, full-faced dish-type wheel). Front lip doesn't look too bad, but it's a sore thumb without skirts and a rear valence of some sort, and would flow a bit better if paint-matched. Body and paint look IMMACULATE and, as QD stated, thank you for not re-badging it with Honda emblems. I also like the lacking "3.5 RL" and "ACURA" emblems for the rear. With a nice and conservatively sized wheel and the right drop this thing would really shine. Keep up the good work man and just keep focus on the overall "vision" of the final product and work towards that. It's not a Civic or and Integra and you should be proud of that.

    A quick google search for a little inspiration:

    Factory Bose sound system , thanks to all the comments guys I like the bbs lm style wheels but in truth everyone seems to be rocking them no hate intended , and to get a lip kit for the rl means ordering one staraight from japan and the price for one is pretty steep in the thousands.

    I can imagine you should paint the lip and see how it looks.

    get a better camera, pics do it NO justice, it's a lot cleaner in person, i would change that lip, to me that lip belongs on a crappy civic or integra, not a clean "big boi" honda like this, congrats on keeping the interior and exterior super clean,

    and i would lower it more too

    and i am looking for the right honda badge to put on my Acura, but i cant seem to find the right one.

    Thanks for the support guys especially Franco Tirador, you let me drive that Supra that Ill never forget lol, As it seems that people are disagreeing on the lip I will hopefully put another one that I have to see how it goes. The wheels..., I just put them on honestly and given that im riding on the tires that I really wanted for a long time they look kind of per say "mean" when you're up close to the car, as far as lowereing goes the car will prob go down just a little not "SLAMMED"...that is once the camber kit is installed. Appreciate all the input and all the feedback once again.

    I dont hate the wheels themselves, but the offset is a bit too low. If they were'nt so poked and the car was a little lower, id probably like them. Car is nice.

    Lip needs to go.

    Unless you buy and import an "Acura" from Japan, then you won't find one. Later, QD.

    Lol, a lot of people rebadge their acuras as hondas but the one thing that always gets put off is the acura logo on the steering wheel lol
