Have you considered blacking out the headlights? I think it would tie in nicely with the grill.

djtanveer

thanks....I hope to have exhaust soon. you have the mom resonated version right? how loud is it? any drone?

I agree, Im just waiting for the weather to warm up so i can spend a day or two to do the lights.

FYAH TL

That bumper clip is a PITA. A while back when i installed my first set of wheels it took some time to find out where the rubbing was coming from...after shaving down that bumper clip no more rubbing issues.

meh

Uhm, wow? WOW! lol

potmilkz

specs on the wheels?

btw your the only one i know that has this blue color..

djtanveer

Yea there were a few other users on the forums in 09 but I think im one of the last active users on here with the RBP. its also because this color was only made for 2 years IIRC

Oh ok. I noticed it as soon as i left the shop's driveway. I just took a dremel and shaved a small amount of the bumper away. since then Ive driven around with people in the back. no problems at all.

its amazing what a proper set of wheels, with the right fitment... can do to a car... it completely transformed your ride... i love it!

WHAMM!

Get BBK and air suspension!

djtanveer

I agree, IM like you and i take forever chosing which wheels i want on my car. I always wanted the concave look ever since the cv1s came out. But i found the BC forged and was sold.
Do you nay plans for your new ride?

GTFO....lol....Il get BBK when you get BBK. deal?

docboy

Awesome job OP! Love the grill and wheels!

Congrats bro

but i loved the pix from earlier....they should have just asked you for the pix and not taken em themselves !!!

djtanveer

thanks.

well they took these pics as soon as the car came off the lift. the owner of the shop was the one who had the photo shoot arranged so I though he would have had the pics up by now but i guess not.

Oh BTW if anyone is wondering, the megan test pipe for the 8th gen V6 accord will fit in our cars (FWD). I had mine installed yesterday.


Oh and here is a rolling shot that i took when my friend was driving my car.


And one of my friend's G35 on varianza's w/step lip.

Cruzan

your car look good. what size tire do you have for the front and rear?

iTrader: (5)

^^^ you let your friend drive your car

no one but me drives my car....

I've always thought 19's were big enough for the 4G and 20's would be too much...but the car looks real good...

djtanveer

So I have 2 New updates

so here's the first and more important update. I wrapped my Driver 1 key fob with 3M Di-Noc. I got a sample sheet from http://store.carbonfibergear.com/3m-...n-fiber-vinyl/.




Oh and I also ordered My ATLP exhaust.
$1304.40 shipped!!!!

njsimons

Simple yet such a smart mod our Acura keyfobs are the worst I've ever seen. ATLP exhaust is gonna look sweet!!!

WHAMM!

Text me when the exhaust comes in.

Bored of my car now =|, Now I just wait for other people to mod their cars lol.

suros10

The ATLP exhaust is gonna be fire!!

djtanveer

Yea I liked the key fob when i first got it. but after 2 years, almost all of the paint is gone and now it looks like S#!t

Haha fasho, did you lower yours yet?

I agree. I think it looks the best out of all of the aftermarket systems.

WHAMM!

Yep, lowered it half an inch in the rear to balance the ride height out. Sitting at -1.9 camber now, still within the OEM range of -2 though.

damn DJ....as if your car wasnt hot enough....you went ahead and ordered the ATLP Exhaust

I love the rolling shots and the key fob looks great.

djtanveer

So Installed the ATLP today, I did it all in my garage. It took me about 2 hours because I started before the exhaust was even delivered. So i probably wasted a good 45 min pacing back and forth on my driveway waiting for the fedex truck.

My first impressions were that it is really loud, But I Love it! I think it sounds very aggressive and the power gain with the ATLP cat back and J-Pipe are very noticeable. Ill upload pics later.


I also had the megan Test pipe with my stock exhaust, took it off now, do you guys think I should put it back on with this exhaust system or just keep stock cat and maybe buy HFC? any gains?

Cruzan

Love your car can you help me out by posting the tire size you are using for the front and rear?

djtanveer

thanks man. the tires size for front is 225/35/20 and rear is 245/35/20

Cruzan

Thx.

iTrader: (5)

i would install the 3rd cat delete (megan pipe whatever)....

so your primary cats are fine and then you have a free flowing exhaust....

also you can get the HFC's to replace the primary cats but i wudnt do it for the 3rd cat....waste of $$$ IMO

djtanveer

so if i reinstall the test pipe, do you think it will get louder? I didnt make a difference when i had my stock cat back.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ yes, it will get a tab bit louder.....but only at WOT....more aggressive is the right word....

djtanveer

Ive had the exhaust on now for about a week and a half. Ive definitely gotten used to the drone. I love it!!!!! Here are some pics of the TL with exhaust installed and some at a local meet last weekend. enjoy!




This was the only thing that bothered me. You could see the holes when you look directly into the tips. But within a few hundred miles of driving it isnt noticeable anymore.

Jimmmer

I assume you ordered the non-resonated version?

suros10

Simply, awesome.

njsimons

Car looks stunning!!!!

KarKraze

Looking good,noooo,looking great .

djtanveer

Yea I ordered the non resonated version and i have a Jpipe

Jimmmer

Cool, thanks for the reply!

Your car looks amazing!

aspecallday

Exhaust just took your car to the elite status...congrats and enjoy
