Since this place is dead, I might as well post these up. I went to socal again for the 4th, I'm just over 123k mi now. Just two pix this time.

 

I was so ready to black out headlight housing today but got lazy and I am gonna pass on it. I was thinking to do it before the all cali meet.

Are you going to all cali meet in fresno??

 

I'd like to, but I'm too lazy to drive myself. I'll go if someone I know is going and I'll just hitch a ride. Are you going?

I still haven't had the time to redo my headlights, I want to go with a slightly different look.

 

can you do mine.. OR just exchange headlights (I will put some cash on top.) I have perfectly good set of OEM headlights sitting in garage.

 

I'll trade you straight up if you want. No need for cash on top. Hows the condition of the headlights in your garage? Mine look pretty much mint unless you look very closely. The drivers side headlight has a tiny crack on the lense and the bezel also has a slight crack.

 

hold on .Let me post pics up.

You got any close up shots of headlights??

 

Just need some cleaning...











There are usually 3 tabs on bottom of headlight for installation, each headlight is missing one but it doesn't affect functionality or installation (I had them on my car, no rattles or any loose stuff). works like a charm. Let me know whats up...

and sorry mods for going way off topic...

 

any signs of clearcoat starting to peel from the top? Do you know about how many miles was on the car they came off of? hmm.... one broken tab on the bottom of each. Maybe I'll come up north one of these days and we'll have a mini meet and swap them out.

 

I just checked them again, I didn't see any clear coat peeling but there are a whole lot of dead bugs on them...

My car had around 130K miles when I took them off.

 

and you got any "other" problems with yours??? like maybe peeling paint or something like that.

 

nahh, mine are pretty much mint, besides what I stated earlier. I'm thinking I'll just keep mine for the time being, but I'd gladly help you paint your headlights.

 

so when should I drop them off or u wanna pick them up..

 

If you have a day off, we could just kick it at one of our houses and get it done and back on the car in a few hours time.

 

I only have Tuesdays off, which was yesterday. now I have to wait for another week.

 

go90go's not going? haven't decided if i'm going this year...but i have to say this years meet looks much more organized...if we get more first gens to go this year, i'd be game...

 

I am going. please please please come over. I want to see ur car in person.

 

I didn't even know about it, haha.

~Cheers~

 

hey, you going or not??

 

hey man i like what you did with the headlights, but i am not sure what you did can you explain because i gotta do something with mine not sure what i need, did u get HID? right now its just stock as stock lol and a side question you know those rear windshield wings or spoilers whatever you want to call it is there any for first gen, because i realized something is missing in our first gen TLs

 

the headlights are still stock. No HID or anything like that, just the black painted bezel. I baked the headlights for 6 minutes at 230 degrees then pried them apart. As far as I know they don't make the rear window spoilers for these cars.

 

If you want a rear spoiler then go to eBay and pay $300+ for Honda Inspire rear wing.

 

oh ic well can u explain that i asked my body guy and he said he doesnt know anything about baking stuff he says its just like tint spray paint..can and what bezel did u paint? as i understand u took the headlight apart and painted some of the parts...thanks man

 

i dont want a spoiler for the trunk i want a rear windsheild wing i cant find a link right now in acurazine but i found this randomly in google when i typed rear windsheild spoiler http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...m/IMG_7483.jpg

 

^ That one looks like shit... I've seen some really nice ones on some VIP platform cars, but I don't have any pics.

~Cheers~

 

If you want to black out your headlights then just follow the DIY in the 2nd or 3rd gen section because it is the same thing except you don't have to remove the amber corner.

 

here is one thats nice https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/my-type-s-full-spec-kit-roof-wing-643042/ look at the 3rd and 4th pic it makes the car looks so much nicer in my opinion, and i think our 1st gen cars would look better too becuase our rear is not nice at all the rl of our years had nice rear end but one tl got is like for old man or something i dont kno if u guys understand what im saying its too naked, anyways is it possible to get one these ? when u black out headlights do they work better or worst or no difference it just for looks

 

You should use sentences next time. The headlights have no difference in output after being blacked out. It reduced a bit of glare from light reflecting off the bottom of the bezel.

 

spotted you leaving home depot today. recognized you by the black trim around your rear plate. i saw your car and looked at you but i didnt have my car so i didnt say anything, otherwise you'd be like who the f are you...i was getting into a black g37 sedan one car over from you...

 

oh...... that was you? were you the one getting into the back door? I think I did see you looking over when I drove by. Drive your car next time. lol

 

that was me! i was trying to see if the front was blacked out too to make sure it was u...my uncle was driving, i left my car in the sunset

 

We need to get a mini meet going.

 

How I wish there were more 1st gens in New England. The 1st gens out here are

 

We have plenty here, just that most are . There's one lady that works near me, who also has a champagne 3.2. Cute as a button but her car is beat to shit.

~Cheers~

 

sorry for not using sentences. anyways another question do 99-00 tl stock rims fit for our 1st gen TL?

 

^yes they do. even 3G TL rims fit but they rub.

 

so 2nd gen fit np any year? what bout the type s ones or a spec? only 3rd gen rubs? or 2nd gen rubs too? can someone post a picture if someone did it i want to see how it would look cause my stock are so ugly gettiin old lot of scratches and stuff

 

All second gen wheels are fine. 3G wheels are wider so they rub. Rolling fenders solve this problem, Mandy has done it. I'd say get a 2G type-S wheels if you can find one for reasonable price.

 

I think 2nd gen type-s wheels on a first gen are

 

3rd gen rims are ok in front but need to roll the rears. They are so heavy though...that's what I feel. They look good, however!

 

I am driving to all cali. Norcal people.... BE THERE. Our group is meeting at my house at 7:30 and we will be leaving at 8am sharp to be able to meet the norcal caravan at Morgan hill which will be leaving at 10am sharp at the latest. If anybody else would like to meet at my house before heading out to morgan hill, please let me know ahead of time and I'll PM you the location.
