The process of restoring the Legend took around two months. What has been achieved? The Acura Legend sedan has received its original factory luster, inside and out, but also includes minor modifications like the upsized, 18-inch Rays wheels wrapped around Bridgestone Potenza High-Performance 215/40R/18 tires or the 6-piston front caliper and 4-piston rear caliper brakes.

The original paint scheme of the car was also changed and it is now custom-made Warm Cashmere with Ice Pearl paint scheme. Ludacris has already installed a great sound system, the Pioneer AVIC 8/ONEX, but it was improved with the addition of a couple of Alpine Type-12 subwoofer speakers in the luggage department.

The Legend was also lowered by two-inches, because the Marek envisioned the extra H&R springs and Eibach camber kit.  Frame, body and chassis work was made better in order to round out the new appearance of the car.
