U bet. I checked everything. Welds are top notch. Maybe just think it got louder.

manutd

i want oneeeeeeeee

KarKraze

Lol,i really like the Mdx/Tl combo that i fabricated as well,it is bold and aggresive looking.Nexon's combo is very refined and elegant looking,so two completely different looks.Either way,i love them both and will roll with either.

Now waiting for Spring has become a bit more difficult haha.

Teddybear

so now you have TWO one offs grills :p
not THAT cold... it just felt like -40c with windchill the other day lol no biggie haha

Hi KK

How's it going buddy?bbrrrrr.lol.
Btw,I'm soon going to be one of Nexxon's happy patrons.
Ordered a WDP beak.
Thought of Ronjon grille at first but ....can't imagine being asked by the wife to sleep in the car....
Thought of getting a paint match for th e whole grille...
Decided to just get the beak painted...I still prefer to leave some contrast of dark chrome as accent.Retain some elegance.

Can't wait to see the grille you ordered..how much was it?if you dont mind me asking.

KarKraze

^^^ I can assure you that you will be very happy with Nexon's commitment to quality.His work is exceptional

CincyAc

I know its been addressed in various threads, but have you had passengers in the back seat after the drop? If so, any rubbing?

KarKraze

Tbh,i have never had a passenger in the back seat since i purchased the car,however,after the installation i had two of the service advisors sit in the car while stationary and the wheels cleared fine.
I really did not want to roll the fenders, that is why i went conservative on the rims, they are 19x8.5x35mm offset.

So by when we will see your new grill????

KarKraze

Sorry guys,it will be in the Spring when i bring the car out.

We went from getting a mild winter to all sorts of crazy stuff,sure am happy i got me a winter beater .

manutd

My car is so dirty! lol sporadic weather sucks! My car needs a good detailing!! Clay bar and all! I cant wait until the weather gets nicer here.

ALFAQ

Your car is a beautiful example of a nicely modded Tl,nothing overdone,you have retained the luxury/sporty looks and everything flows well,great taste boss .

KarKraze

Not to worry,soon you will have many opportunities to flex those biceps,looking forward to seeing your new mods this summer.



Thank you for such a nice compliment,the car is coming together exactly the way i wanted it to.

09tl3.7

Car looking good and ya the weather sucks. My CBP looks silver. Lol. In the spring possibly a meet should in order just to get to know some guys locally

KarKraze

Thanks,a Spring meet sounds good,if there is one at Speedstar later in the summer we could all meet up there,they had a great turnout last year.

Vidol642

Thats the Look I'm looking for I have the same wheel spec as you I'm also doing my springs soon. Did you use a camber kit

KarKraze

I have the H&R springs and did not require the camber kit, the alignment was done two weeks after the installation of the springs and the tech was able to get it within the original specs.

Vidol642

Thanks man I notice you mention Eazy on your thread I happen to know him from a meet here in new york he also give me good advise on the h&r springs

KarKraze

You are very welcome,yes,Eazy was one of the many members who gave me great advice with regards to the H&R's. What convinced me completely was when "Recall" another member was gracious enough to let me ride in his 2012 equipped with the H&R's.

Good luck and when you have yours installed be sure to give a review since it is always nice to hear other views/opinions.

If anyone is trying to watch any of the videos KarKraze posted use the link below.. for some reason all of the previous video posts are linked to images/stills from the videos instead of the clips themselves:

Thanks for sharing these as well, definitely helping me in some decisions i have lined up.

KarKraze

Thank you ,this is the first time i heard about it so i am not sure what happened there,may have had something to do with the recent changes on photobucket.

manutd

When are you bringing her out of hibernation?

KarKraze

Depends on the weather,hoping for mid/late April .

I know you have some goodies that you probably want to get installed as well lol.

Recall

I was thinking of taking my car out around the same time as well. I don't know if I can hold out much longer not driving my car Lol.... its hard though, yeah it depends on the weather.

manutd

Haha im dying to get them on! I decided to go with Tein SS after much deliberation... Got a good deal on them and ill be playing with the ride height alot... i know i will haha i tell myself i wont... but i will. I need to raise the car up for winter too Rims are almost here!!!! Cant wait!!!

KarKraze

Nice to hear from you,hope all's been well for you through the winter months.



Tein SS !! sweet , the Toronto group seems to be growing,perhaps we will all have to meet up sometime over the summer.

Did you get the EDFC as well ?

Vidol642

I'm also dying to take my car out it was park since end October I don't want to do work on it and then have to put it back . Once I install the spring and and the new wheels I want to have it out to know if there is any change in handling

weather

We are seeing our snow melting at an incredible rate! This rain storm expected tonight and tomorrow with temperature of +10C or so will really kill the snow on the side of the roads and most parking lots so I think our days of wet roads due to snow melting are done. If that is correct, I should be able to start driving the TL very shortly as well, providing its not a rainy day The RDX has been out a few times now and its still clean but the TL hasn't flexed its muscle too much lately. This feels like I am getting a new car

KarKraze

I parked mine around the same time you did.

The handling will change with the mods you are doing .


With all the snow melting it is really messy atm,def looking for an early spring.

On another note,if i had to get a 2012 i would take yours before the dealer did,the people that take care of a lease like you do is in the minority.As a matter of fact many owners couldn't care less either.

manutd

Sadly no EDFC, i like to take stuff apart :P so ill be adjusting the shocks to my liking!

And i hear you on the weather... i need to detail my car and ill most likely spend about 2 days on it.... This winter killed my car and paint with all the salt... the paint is sooo rough

KarKraze

Getting tired of the seemingly long winter so i decided to take a look at my first mod

Vidol642

That is hot

Treblig

Nice!

datTeeCK

^^ Agreed, that looks beautiful. Read through your thread and it's amazing how far you car has gone. Can't wait to see your next mod

LawnPro

Is it safe to say these are exciting times in the KK household?!

Alexander.

iTrader: (1)

Is it too far to say i get aroused just seeing that grill? If you had only slept on contacting Nexson for a few months, it would have been CBP and on my car

Can't wait to see it on yours though, should compliment the rest of the car very well.

KarKraze

I share your opinion as well, thank you.


Looking back to when i first purchased the car to present i am very happy with the progress and would not do anything differently.
Not sure what my next mod will be.


Haha,for different reasons though,i am excited to bring the car out soon and start working on it,wifey is excited about the upcoming vacation,actually i am as well.



May i suggest a cold shower lol,looking forward to the install and results as well.

manutd

Looks beautiful! Cant wait to see it in person! Once you're tired of it you can sell it to me :P haha!

ALFAQ

over the looks of this.
