talking about Acura EL, I went to Acura Canada homepage and saw the EL pic myself. I found out that the EL has a pair of nice tail lights. (I'm just talking about the triangular part; not the trunk pieces because those won't fit our sedan anyway) Is there anyone or anywhere I can take a closer look at the new tails? Telly, EL owners, any idea?!
Oh! BTW, its better to paint the lip the same color as the entire bumper.

Too bad my pics weren't saved (or are they?) because I had a closeup of the rear tails on my 04 EL.

The black housing look headlights are JDM style and everything looks clean&stock. To me I think it's like JDM style. Would be more JDM if folding side mirrors and side markers are added.

Thank you, Vtecpowersumo! Those are pretty interesting. Everything seems to be circles nowadays. I would say the brake lights are below the turn signals, aren't they? No wonder no one thinks of getting the new EL triangular lenses onto their sedans althought they do look nice and refreshing.

Not the car, but the black lip....for some reason a lot of JDM rides leave their lips and skirts black. I kind of like the contrasting look of that, but sumo (I think I said this on clubel too) you should get it all painted. Do it quick while your original paint is still new so that way you can just get the paint code and the shop won't have to paint match on your actual finish. Shouldn't cost more than $150-200 installed at any decent place.

Hey Civicsky, long time no talk - just so you know, you can buy the whole EL trunk lid and swap it in....voila, easy EL trunk conversion. Thing is you have to do something about putting remote trunk release in, as there's no keyhole on the EL trunk.

You have no idea how many times someone has offered to trade trunk lids or front ends with me....one fool had the audacity to offer a straight trade, citing "hell, I'm driving up from *insert state name here* to meet you, that should cover the difference". I swear a couple of them thought we didn't have Civics in Canada!
