This is my TL. Tell me what you think. I'm getting it lowered this weekend, so I'll post that pic too.

looks real good man

97slammedTL

those are 18's? boy does that front wheel well look like it could house a 20 inch rim if it wanted to, oh well, i love the way our wheel wells are so oversized especiallly the front, any one notice that?

Guest

Thanks, Jason. I have the red and clear tail lights as well. I just wanted to give it a different look compared to the other TL's in Washington state.

Guest

No. No one's noticed that yet. Yes, they are 18's. My cousin's lowering the car for me so that the oversized wheel wells won't look as noticable. 20's? I was skeptical about the 18's. Being a woman and all, I still like for my car to look feminine and I think 20's would be a bit much for me.

that is a nice car. what kind of wheels are those? $?

Guest

You know, I'm ashamed to say that I don't know what kind of rims they are. My cousin picked them out, I just paid for them. They cost me $2100.00.

96TL

Very nice car. Do you have any pics of the back so I can see the tails?

Guest

Thanks for the compliment. No, I do not have pictures of the back because they were just installed two days ago. I'll take a picture of the back, have the pictures developed, and post them asap. Hey, what size wheels do you have?

96TL

18's.

Guest

Oh, okay. The same as mine.

96TL

Do yours rub?

Guest

Yes, especially when I turn the wheel. What about yours?

unx979

woo hooo someone else on the board with Inspire Tails. see i'm not the only one that bought it
i like the clean look, definately drop the car. sorry to say that it's going to rub a lot more now that you're going to drop it. oh yeah vanilla ice cream is da bomb :p

96TL

Wow, you rub in the front? I rub only in the back. I hate it.

Guest

Well, just in case any of you are wondering, Vanilla is the name of my car. I wanted to get that on my license plate, but it was already taken. I chose INDPWMN instead. Can any of you figure it out? Not alot of people get it right away.

Yeah, I suspected the tires are going to rub more once I drop the car, but I hope I'll just get used to it.

96TL

Independent woman?

Guest

You're right. Independent Woman.

redeye

yo vanilla,
your ride is pimpin... waay to represent the 1st genners

i don't know how you plan to "get used to" the rubbing problem
i had a rubbing problem for all of 3 hours and i was freakin out..
i had my fenders cut the same day...

oh yeah.. where did you get the clear tails??
did you order them from japan or did you get here?

Din

MaxxT

Welcome - I like your TL very much - It's very clean.

We have more and more first gen owners in this Forum now... it's a good thing.

Guest

Yo Redeye,

Thanks for the compliment. I think my ride is pimpin', too. I got the clear tails from autoparts.com. They were shipped from Japan. The pair cost me $500. It looks GGGGOOOOOODDDDD.

And thanks, MaxxT. I feel welcome in this forum. I'm glad I found ya'll.

MaxxT

You're welcome.

Those have to be the same with the ones that Tim has. If I'll get them, definitely from Tim... .. not yet though, perhaps he has lay away

Hey Vanilla your ride looks really classy, I like it alot. I am not a big fan of white cars but yours looks very sweet and classy, especially with those rims. I personally want to get 17's especially with the price of good tires, OUCH!
Anyway you have a sweet ride and I look forward to seeing the rear of your car with the Inspire lights. Could you let me know where you got them and how much.

Thanks in advance for your time and look forward to seeing you on this board again.

Guest

I'm not a big fan of White cars either, but I had a vision for this one. Before this car I had a 1998 Silver Integra, which was also nice. But when I bought it, I couldn't afford the TL (which is what I really wanted), so when the price of TL's went down, I traded in the Integra. And all this time, I knew exactly what I wanted my TL to look like.

Din,

What was your 18 inch setup? I would really like 17's or 18's that don' rub without hassle of rolling or cutting. Le me know when yo get a chance. Thanks in ADV

Vanilla, really nice TL. I think those are Konig Diva's??? I was considering those myself. Clean ride.

Guest

Thanks, Escobar74.

MaxxT

Hey, is that a Yugo that parks next to your car? I could be wrong... if it's a Yugo... those are nice...maybe not... but it was used in Die Hard....

Guest

It's a Volkswagon Rabbit. Remember those?
