God damn Bigmac! Thats so clean, that really inspires me to do a DIY paint job. But just doing it one by one. Im not so great at spray painting so is it really easy for a beginner? And when you apply the paint, do you go from the very left to the very right of the bumper or did you spray in sections?

Yeah it shouldn't be that hard man. I'm by no means a pro; painting is my least favorite part of working on cars lol.

The danger of spraying in really small sections is it coming out unevenly. Just relax, and go evenly: left to right, about 6 inches from the bumper, with the can perpendicular to the ground. When you get to the other side, reverse and semi-overlap the layers. Don't mash on the nozzle button either; spray nice and smoothly. Start from the top and work your way down. you'll do fine!

okay so im REALLY wanting these wheels. I can be a man and get 16x9 +15 and go fucking flush. or be a boy and get 16x7.5 +30. which?! im willing to do a mad pull and camber to get those bad boys in and tucking

P.S. with 205/40 tires for the 16x9.. i really want this to fit!

Ok for the wiring thing I'm copying the instructions from a chiltons manual lol so I donno if it'll help cuz it doesn't have wire colors or anything :what:
1. Disconnect the negative battery
2. Install the relay in the engine compartment and face the relay down
3. Locate the ground terminal and connect the wire to a good ground source
4. Locate the light terminal on the relay and attach the wire from the terminal to the fogs
5. Locate the ignition terminal and connect a wire from the terminal to the light switch, and mount the light switch
6. Locate the power terminal and attach a wire with an inline fuse of at least 10 amperes between the terminal and battery
7. Connect the negative battery cable and turn the lights on
If it doesn't help lemme know cuz I'm getting some fogs probably next week and I was gonna follow these directions... if they work LOL

Oh and be a man, LOL!!! Remember "Fasion"/function :lol:

16x9 will fit, but you need to add small flares to the fenders. There was a red DB8 in Super Street about a year ago that had 16x9's stuffed up front. He used the old-school 240Z/Corolla 'mini' fender flares:

Honestly though, that look (strech and uber camber) is VERY impractical for handling and tire wear. If you DD your teg, I wouldn't do it man.

Chilton = Junk

Get ur self a Acura Service Manual. It has pics and is very detailed. I had a chilton given to me but a brother in law and its like 1/3rd the size of my Acura one and my Acura one is for one year only.. where as the chilton is for 94-01

I would have taken pics of my acura directions for my 98-01 fogs but I gave them to the guy I traded my car too since I didn't have those fogs anymore
