962.5tl,
Thanks for the complement. They are the 3-piece Racing Hart M5 19".
The front lip is the Mugen add on & the center grill is the Mugen replacement..

Tight

that is one of the tightest TL's on the board. i gotta give you mad props. i'm glad to finally see the M5's on a TL. what is the offset?? do they rub?? what kind of drop?? how much were they?? what model is your car?? sorry for all the questions but inquiring minds want to know. the only quam i have about your ride is that Mugen stripe. it just takes away from the cleanliness of your ride. it's still tight though. good job.

Damn that is nice man. Love the wheels, love how you got the fogs on without the headlights on, and love how you painted the bottom mouldings. Looks sweet man!

Inf4life,

here's some answers
Im dont rem the offset...no they dont rub(you have to try to make them)..2" suspension tech. drop for the accord...The retail is about $750 a wheel w/ no tire..2.5TL

Yeah i wasnt sure bout the sticker thing so I only put it on one side..It's really not that noticeable cause i put it on the curve of the car...

Acurasnake,
the plate holder is off my brother's 92 Accord..it fits perfect on the black grills on the front...And it tilts like that.
The plate had to be on cause i got a ticket in my bro's car for not having it...

Great looking TL! .......... Congratulations. Could you post side and rear views of your TL for us to look at and also if you can use a camera with higher resolution, it would be great.

TLBaller,
Im sure the grill will fit pretty good. My Mugen fit perfect, and it came with all the clamps and supports. The lip and the center grill are made out of a weird flex plastic(not urethane, not fiberglass) The lip fits so well that it hold's itself on w/o screws(but ofcourse I have all the screws and bolts holding).....But most aftermarket parts dont always fit perfectly, unless it's an factory option...Like Mugen is a factory option in Japan, and Comptech here!!

TL12,
The Images are scanned and blown up..It's not the resolution...I dont have my digital anymore!!!

THE BACK HAS NOTHING ON IT...THAT's WHY I DID'nt POST ANY PICS OF THE BACK...IMO IT LOOKS UGLY.

Yo Neo:

Nice Ride!!!
Where did you purchase your grill from? I know its a Mugen, but do you have a phone # or website so that i may buy one. I have been sweating that grill for months now, and after seeing it on your car I gotta have one.

Thanks!

Sorry for the bad news but Mugen parts for the first gen. TL are all history. I was selling them for a while and only a few guys jumped now their gone. I know it isn't fair. I can order Azect grills and I'm also working on another company who makes kits, grills also for you folks. Definately one sweet ride.

Its kinda dangerous how i hooked it up. Sure enough i found out why it was dangerous. When i pulled out one of my lights to give to my frend bc his car broke down and he had no hood lights, sure enough,, just out of the luck of God the positive wire to one of my lights Fell across my seat and the 2 mm of exposed wire touched the cig lighter. When i drove off to get help my entire cabin filled with smoke ~_~ then i found out my wires (+) from my lights fell on the cig lighter (-) and burned all of the wire from the light to the fuse box. Totally burned my carpet =\ So just as a precaution becarefull how you wire it. But this is how i did it:

(Safeway)
a) pull a wire from your (+) amp and pull it under seats
b) then go to radioshak and buy a 4 way split and just mount it under your seats
c) plug each light into the module under your seat
d) ground it though your ground on amp to
e) if done correctly it should work and should turn on and off with your head unit

It worked for me but i took it apart bc i relocated my amps. This isnt my car but this is where the burn is.
