welcome dude, congrats on the transfer 'teg > > L E G E N D
1 - i wouldn't pluck out the side moldings if i were you b/c once off, there's a dimple that again would need to 'sucked out'>sanded>bondo'ed>painted....not cost effective!
just get the five charc. paint id of your car and painting with the dupli-color (like you said) i think is the best way of ridding yourself of that horrid black strip...of course going from black to white requires some serious base coat...layers of them
2 - just my opinion - i think the best combo is 17"s all around w/ 1.5" f & 1"r slam..going w/16" - though more comfy than 17"s - ain't that far from 15" and so the difference in visual ooohs (main purpose of rims besides handling) thrown at you won't suffice...
3 - sub amp.. www.cardomain.com/item/PHOX4001 (full MNFG. warr of 1 yr. & sale price 179.95...originally 349.99)...don't matter if your type r is dual 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm because this amp is stable at both impedences gives a healthy 400watts RMS (continuous)...PG is one of those high quality companies that underrates their stuff so at about 13.8volts of vehicle voltage input you'll already be running over 400...so at the dynamic 14.4volts you know you're pushing damn near half a buck if not more!!! you don't need 500 on the dot...this is the Xenon level from PG line (flagship) so the features on there are out of this world!!!
4 - flip out monitor - http://www.cardomain.com/item/JENVM9510...i'll save space so just read my review on this link
5 - white smoke...http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=59080
last thing...if you don't already know this forum has a lot of experienced/smart members...evert time i log on here i take something...
swift put it best..
..If one finds this forum less useful, it's not the forum's fault. You're simply high enough up the learning curve that you're now a contributor rather than a taker. Me, I'm taking a lot from here..
hope this helps a little
