Are those custom blacked out headlights or the eBay depos?

012TL-GLM

I'll play! Just washed her - Graphite Luster 2012 SH-AWD w/tech

potmilkz

custom blacked out, he smoked the orange diffuser.

i can see how you got to that assumption as pics dont exactly look like it.. but you can see a hint of orange in the diffuser

What year TL is this? I want to paint my grill like this as well

2010Diamond4G

Very nice work^

'99-6SIC6

'09 - '11 by the looks of it...either custom or '12 - '14 headlights, wheels suggest '09-'12 SH-AWD version as do the lower turn signal and fog lamp housings...besides the RJ grille and front lip, looks like a nicely modified pre '12

ActRightSB

Yeah. Its an 09 SH-AWD. My friend and I opened up the headlights ourselves and painted them. And like '99-6SIC6 said, I have a RonJon grille and front lip. I have OEM sides and rear.

andrewcjduong

Is it just me or does it seem like no one's RJ front grill fit properly? The grill itself looks gorgeous but it seems like it has quite the gap. Something I really didn't like which is why I never considered it, especially for the price you're paying.

Hi! I'm a long time time lurker and this is the first post of my car.

Here's my '09 SH-AWD tech in winter mode. Got Magnaflow mufflers and Takeda SRI

Grigio4G

Still waiting for lug nuts so in the mean time removed spacers I had over winter, cleaned up the hub, checked to make sure I got the right rings.

carbonTSEX

Wanna see how those turn out. They sell those locally where I'm at for a little over a $1000 for rims and tires. 20".

Grigio4G

to be honest I dont care for them a whole lot, price was good and they resemble CV3s which I like. Kinda wish i would of waited and spent a bit more on something a bit better but theres always next summer. Coils should be here soon, so is the fender roller so Ill try to make the most of them.

ActRightSB

Good looking ride!

ActRightSB

I'm ready to see finished product also.

TeamAcura

What lug nuts did you end up getting?


Prolly some cheap ass tires too for that price.

Don't say that Grigio4G lol, when you sell them you will get most of your money back anyway. I'm kinda doing the same as far as new wheels. I just want some new shoes this summer and the wheels I'm eyeing on are out of my budget so I'm working with what I got right now. You should of went with 20x10.5 though at least for the rear.

carbonTSEX

I agree. They prolly are cheap tires but I'm not buying them. I just remember Girgio asking the price in Niche wheels.

Grigio4G

ya those wheels brand new even with a wholesale dealer discount are around $900, $1000 with tires cant be good lol. I just bought some "ok" kumhos and those ran me $500.

Pandayo

I don't see the edit button anywhere so I wasn't sure how to edit my previous post. Just picked up some tires and getting coilovers (tein SA) this weekend to put on some wheels I've been sitting on for a few months.

TeamAcura

I can't wait to see these rotiforms on your car. Nice steelies too lol.

Pandayo

hah can't wait either! Thanks! I think the steelies were from a Honda Pilot hah

ActRightSB

Yeah. Those Rotiforms will be a breath of fresh air in the wheel dept for the 4G on the forum.

To potmillkz or anyone else that could clear this up. Are all of these headlights the same in all 3 pictures?







I am trying to buy the set that is in picture 2. But want what is on the black and white TL pictured here.

The answer is NO, they are all not the same. #1 and #3 don't have halos nor do they have carbon fiber wrap that #2 has. Oh, and #1 and #3 are cleared out (obviously..lol).

Brock79

The ones in the 2nd picture are from acktl05, I believe it's his name. I bought my lights from him and he was trying to get me to buy those. I didn't want halos though. The button for the halos goes in the stock location near your traction control button.

Grigio4G

Got my color matched grille and rear bumper trim from Nexson today. Digg it.

2010Diamond4G

Ant sauce I appreciate your help. Dont appreciate the sarcasim but I guess I kind of deserve it. Lawololol.

Are #1 and 3 the same? Are they stock but just cleared out? How I get mine to look like #1 and 3??

Thanks again.

2010Diamond4G

So the ones pictured in #2 are not plug and play? I dont want anything that isnt plug and play. How I get mine to look like those in pics #1 and 3?

Thanks for your comment as well.

AntSauce

All are OEM headlights that have been opened up, painted, and modified (#1 and #3 are painted and I believe have TSX-R lenses with custom cutoffs). Because #2 does have added halos, there is an "extra wire" that comes along with it so it can light up individually. #1 and #3, after modification, plug right back in without any extra switches or buttons.

Brock79

Yea, he did mine the same time he did yours. How easy did your back piece come out?

Here is the random pic I took a while ago.

I happen to be a photo whore. Some lazy shots/edits from this rainy morning.

^^Great pics!! What editing software do you use?

Grigio4G

Lightroom 4

Brock79

Should have done the back piece, it looks a lot better.

Grigio4G

It's painted because of its shape it reflects light differently in the pictures.

Brock79

It looked painted in the first set of pics and unpainted in the second. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I'm glad I painted mine as well. I will post pics tomorrow or I might wait till Saturday after the car gets waxed and a nice compound to get the swirls out.

Pics look great! Though I still think you should remove the SHAWD badge.
