nice, i know what im doing today

 

A badge and ACURA letters.

perfect symmetry for the car.

just take off that stupid 3.2TL badge

 

Yea there arent holes cause i still have the A but im going to get H eventually and replace that. Personally for me, i hate the ACURA lettering which is why i took it off i think it has a much sleeker and cleaner look without it and looks much better than if i was to leave it on there. Only way id put lettering back on there is if i picked up the Saber or Inspire lettering, preferably Saber. But thanks for the compliments dudes i might actually be slamming her sooner than i think cause i have a little extra cash this month so stay tuned!

 

Wow dat skipperrr kit is sssssssick!!

 

Alright, so I've got a quick teaser/update! Got this package in the mail today! What ever could it be?! Any guesses? Lol




Will post it up once its on! Should be by the end of this week.

 

the hell is that

 

2010 matt kenseth NASCAR model.

 

new oil pan?

 

^ maybe a steel oil pan? Idk if they make that for our car tho...

(a stupid question) but the 2nd gen's is aluminum right?

 

 

Although it SHOULD be a new oil pan....it isn't lol

 

I think I may MAY kno

 

Guess away!

 

snapped some pics of my car with a better camera than my iphone so the pics look much better. plus i just washed it too. enjoy. these pics were also before i picked up new tips today and the rear looks much better now and sits flush with the WW rear lip since its so big.

















And a few pics of my ladies car too, since we washed our cars together haha.

after I left yesterday I spent 1.5 looking for a cop and since it was the weekend i couldnt go inside so I sat outside at 3 different ones and none came out LOL



Car is looking good guys pictures dont do any justice u have to see it in person

 

^ u can just go into the police station and tell them to check your car...

 

Wow damn man, that sucks. maybe you should try again monday and just head inside since it wont be the weekend.

 

not on the weekends which sucks kuz im only off on weekends

 

been debating the debadge for a while now, and seeing this put me over the top. first thing after school tomorrow, they're coming off.

 

Yea its pretty easy to do! Just need some floss and goo gone and your good to go. Theres a few helpful DIYs on here if you need help but its pretty straight forward. Good luck!

 

well I went out to get some goo gone today, and decided to hold off until auto class tomorrow (nothing else to do, might as well get some marks for it right?) i'll be sure to post a picture for you guys after its all done and cleaned up. probably going to tint the tail lights while im at it.

 

If you were ever wondering what was in the package from earlier.....well here it is! My new steering wheel.

 

only thing is since i installed the new wheel, the SRS light is on and my horn is effed up because one of the connectors wouldnt fit...dont know if thats going to be an issue later on haha

 

awesome.. i love your interior, just needs to cleaned up

always wanted the black burlwood steering wheel for my tl-s.. so nice..

 

looks real good ..but i would never drive with out the horn working properly ..

 

I know man, but the horn wire got messed up when i switched it over. There were two connector cables instead of one connector and one plug so i took the plug from the oem steering wheel and cut it and spliced it into the connector from the jdm one with electric tape but it didnt stay so it doesnt work.

 

I have never used the horn. Hate it when people do.

 

I'm going to drive by and use my horn when I see u Sway LOL!

 

Finished the debadge today. Left a couple of scratches where the lettering used to be, shouldnt be too big of a problem though.

Ignore my finger in the top left, had to rush the pic after the bell rang :p

^y not make a thread of your car so we can see more pics!

 

^huh?

it's a chop and why shouldnt he lower his car?

 

LMFAO do u know where u are at dude?

no one will laugh at anyone maybe you will be the only one laughing 95% of the cars on here are lowered

what were u into back in ur day



I just traded mine in at the dealer and they wanted it so ur point is invalid..

then if u pay the money to make it stock thats u, go buy a stock one instead

 

^
how does it look like a 16 year old drives? What parts make you think that?
If you get a alignment how will there be steering problems?

well if you keep all your stock parts you dont need to spend money to take it back to stock. Also there are alot of members that will trade their stock parts + a bit money for your after market parts.

Why would people laugh at you. the only people that would are the ones that dont get why you did it, and the ones that arent interested in modding cars.

if you get camber kits and alignment you dont have to worry about your tires.

 

guys he obviously knows jack shit about suspension.

he's already spread this cancer in a couple places.

ignore....

 

open-minded is one thing..

spreading false information b/c of your obvious dislike for lowered vehicles not only makes YOU look close-minded but stupid as well...

stick to your opinions... b/c your "info" on lowered vehicles is very stereotypical and wrong at that...

and the auto industry doesnt "hate lowered vehicles"

many manufactures offer sport packages for cars that come with lower spring/strut combo..and all sports cars are sold with naturally lower suspensions b/c of the benefits of handling and styling that people want.

aslo, acura sells vehicles off of the lot with 19" wheel options (20" on the SUVs)
so the whole "ghetto" trend your referring to is also very stereotypical and ignorant.

it does not lower the value of your vehicle b/c it is a reversible addition to your car.

YOU hate lowered cars and thats about as far as the truth in your post go..
you're in the wrong place to try and convince people otherwise... i suggest you try the minivan forums...

 

As soon as my 15 day waiting period is over with I plan on it. By then the tails and windows should be tinted and ready to rock

 

you are stereotyping again, a lowerd car does not have to be poorly built.. in fact, they can be quite the opposite, cared for and quality parts used.


contradicitng yourself... you said the actual look of a lowerd car makes it look like a 16 year old high school kid's car. whether its OEM lowered suspension or aftermarket, the look is the same...

contradicitng yourself again... you stated that over sized wheels are bad, but OEM over sized wheels are ok?

you do realize that Enkei (an aftermarket wheel company) makes OEM wheels for honda/acura right?...

nobody has to pay for it, you use the same OEM spring/strut combo that was on the car pre-lowering it. you lose no value and nobody has to pay any additional money.



you are not simply stating your opinions.. you are trying to speak for yourself, the majority of motorist, and on the behalf of the auto industry...

your reasoning for why you think its a bad idea is what is skewed.

me calling you ignorant is not personally attacking you... im stating you're not educated on the subject at hand.. and making assumptions..

 

nobody here is building their car to a dealerships liking.

it makes no difference what "the dealers want" when it comes to personalizing your car.

None of the modifications above are hurting the resale value one bit, because the car can always be changed back to stock for no extra cost. that is factual.

and yes, all OEM wheels have the manufactuer stamp on the inside of the wheel :wink:

 

hmm. im gonna lower my car some more this weekend

 

It's not really a debate, lowering your ride may not be for everyone but you cannot deny that less wheel gap is currently the trend. so much so that almost every luxury car company has dramatically lowered stock suspensions for any "sport" model.

my sister's C3004M sport comes to mind
