If you want your car to look clean, the only way to do it is to take the amber reflector out. Putting vinyl stickers over the light is tacky.

What springs are you running? Just because it says 1.75 inch drop, it does not necessary mean your car will drop that much. Are you getting springs made for the Accord V6? If so, your car will be lowered more than 1.75 inches and yes, you will need a camber kit.

No offense, but you'd have to be a complete moron to ruin your headlights. It's an extremely simple operation if done with a good heat gun and a couple of screw drivers. On my old Accord, it took me about an hour to do the first one and about 15 mins to do the second one. I was really afraid I'd mess it up, but once I started doing it I realized how careless you'd have to be to end up screwing it up. As long as you put on tons of silicon at the end, you're in fine shape. Vinyl stickers look tacky as hell IMO, same with most eyelids.

I believe the H&R kit is made for the V6 Accord. And since the TL weights more than the Accord, it is going to be lowered than 1.75 iches. I think you are going to need a camber kit.

Yes, you will ne a camber kit. I'm running the H&R Sports and the rear tires are a tad off.... my camber kit is going on in the spring.

As for the lights... take the time to clear them... don't ruin the look with a decal... it just looks bad on this car.
