Hey everyone,

My wife's lease was up and since we're in "saving" mode right now, I gave her my Beast and took a 2000 Accord Coupe from my folks (it used to be my older sisters but for the past few years its been collecting dust at my parents house).

Its black/black and runs and looks great for being nearly 10yrs old. I'm no longer a heavy modder (back in the day I had a GSR and later a CL Type S, but since then I've tamed the modding bug).

However, I do plan to update the look of this car a bit. My plans include:

-Replace worn looking headlights (prolly go w/standard black housing lights)
-Lower slightly (mainly just to improve rake and bring overall ride height down approx. 1")
-Wheels/tires (nothing bigger than 17, prolly just some stock Acura wheels if I can find clean ones that fit nice and flush)
-Body kit (looking for a nice replica of the OEM 4pc kit)
-Tint, removal of door dings, touch-ups, etc.

You have a great board and its a pleasure to be a member.

I also welcome any leads/suggestions on retailers for any of the above parts. Ideally, I'd love to find a great shop local to the Redondo Beach area that sells and installs such parts.

Thanks!

Welcome to 6GA.

Might want to send a pm to Jmiller who is selling a set of TL rims right now, if you don't mind dealing with shipping.

Welcome to 6GA.

What do you mean by "beast"? What were you driving previously?
