Here are my first two mods and as I complete them I'll post them up.

Mod 1 Removed the horrible steering wheel cover.



Mod 2 Matching "wood" gauge surround Got it on ebay two weeks ago.

 

welcome. post exterior pics.

 

Thanks

 

nice, welcome! i've had mine since june 2007, and i love it!

 

Are you from arizona or LA ? Car looks mint

 

Here is the horrible steering wheel cover.



I am from L.A. currently living in Chandler (near Phoenix) hoping I can go home before it gets any hotter.

Car is a well maintained daily with the normal chips, scratches & one keyed rear quarter panel. I am looking for an orbital polisher to hopefully get rid of some of the defects.

Thanks.

 

HA! so it was you who bought that guage surround... Lucky you.. I was not anywhere near a computer when the auction ended and my iPhone was dead..

 

Yup. I could not believe it went for 7.00.

 

Going through the mountain of records I got I found the sticker. Whoo Hoo! lifetime seatbelt warranty!

 

Clean !

 

Yeah your luck with that.. I had some plans for it but atleast it went to someone on here...

 

I thought it was 7.00 & 5-6 for shipping but I looked and it was 3.98 & 10.00. A bargain for sure.

 

nice choice of taking it off

 

Congrats !!

 

Looks great! Well I guess I'm partial as I have the same exact car and just love it. I purchased it in 5/07 and thought I wouldn't use the navi much but have noticed quite a few fingerprints on the screen! How many miles are on it?

 

Thanks. I love the car but am used to the Garmin based Kenwood DDX7019 in my LandCruiser and hate this Nav.

It has 151k but was pampered by the PO and is as close to like new as an 8 year old car with 151k can be. It needs a good detail and will be getting the front end sprayed soon as it's full of tiny freeway rock chips.

 

That gas mileage is 1 off my TSX's and that is a V6 vs my horrible inline-4, geeze.

 

Congratulations!!!! Enjoy it...

 

silver is the only way to go congrats

 

how much did you get it for? and congrats on the purchase, find out what tranny your on i've heard trannies replaced post-march 2006 last longer, enjoy her

 

Sick........

 

It was 8k, it is on it's second transmission which was replaced 2/21/05. The original trans sn was BGFA-1024687, the new is BGFA 9001021.

 

Here are a few after a wash pictures. Anyone have driving lights? Mine are thrashed.

The oil is from my LandCruiser. It loses 1/4 quart a month from the oil pump cover, a 2.00 gasket I have had for 2 years that is a major pita to get at so I add oil.

 

First major mod, 05 TL rims. They look as good as I expected. I know it looks like a 4X but I like not stressing the driveways & ruts (I have springs & shocks are ordered)

 

nice nice, your moving along rather quickly

 

Thanks

 

Replaced the driving lights. under 75.00 from acuraoemparts.com. What a difference!

 

Cool, I just bought my '03 SSM last week!

 

What did you do with the original rims? Wanna sell it cheap ?

 

Congrats. I am currently looking at an '01 SGP CL-S, I would really like to get it, so we'll see.

 

The place I got the 05's refinishes & sells rims, I sold them to them.

Sorry

 

I just finished installing my Basslink II. I am very impressed with the bass it puts out & want to thank the FAQ & members that posted tips because it made the job much easier, especially the directions to the hole in the firewall near the throttle cable. I would have never found it on my own.

I'll post pictures later.

 

Here are the pictures:

 

And also wet sand your headlight covers...

 

P2R power kit is in!




They were sanded just before I got it. I am looking into new ones or 03s

 

Cleaned up the engine compartment & put the cover back on.


Dremeled a little piece off to make it fit.

 

My solution to the trunk floor:







Engine cleaned:



18 watt PIAA bulbs installed:
