Just out of curiosity, do your inner taillights act as a rear fog? The Aristo "kanreichi shiyo" has them and was wondering if Toyota did the same for the Canadian models.

and I'd take off that license plate bracket....North Shore "ACURA" eeewwww. lol jk.

I think that front bumper has been painted before. I just had some body work done (compliments of soccer-mom-in-parking-lot) and it seems like nobody can get the color right on silvers. Other then that looks like a clean ride!

at certain angles it does look like the colours off but at other angles its not but i think its a combination of lighting and dirtiness. i'm detailing the car in the coming month and i'll take a closer look at the paint
