Hey Nate, sorry I never answered to you're PM, but it looks like you found Jeff's e-mail address and sent in the CL diffusers already.

I'm stuck on a 56K modem, so I didn't even read through all three pages.

I will post pics of the TL versions once I get them, so EVERYONE can get an idea how it looks.

Trust me guys, it won't be $95 like the S2K versions. Since the TL and the CL ones are so similar. The pricing would probably be the same as the TL ones. Which is $72 + Shipping.

 

Thanks for your input on this Ray, We would not be as far on this if it were not for your contact and thread over on A-TL forums, and thanks to peiqinglong for his effort. I would pay $72 +S for these.
Please do post pics as I am sure you will have them soon and many want to see them in the chrome light housings as well

 

I want a set TOO!!!

 

Cosest you will find for now is Mr. Big's version above... and it is on an '03 NBP CLS, how close is that?! Even when the TL's come in they will be set in Chrome housings (unless painted). This means you'll just have to wait :P

 

Nate, I'm happy to be able to bring a new mod into existance.

On a side note, these still are illegal. Since we are still changing them out for CLEAR OPAQUE reflectors instead of the orange pieces which made the car legal. If we had orange sidemarkers mounted onto the fender, then it's legal.

But the rear is different. The rear only needs a RED reflector, and the taillamps takes care of that. If you look at the side of your taillamps, you'll see the reflector.

 

dumb question...does that include the fender blinkers like below on this Lude??

 

i don't think sidemarkers make this mod legal because it is way too far rear of where it should be...it needs to be close as possible to the front corners.

 

haha... okay. I don't plan on installing sidemarkers.

ElegantTL-S: I guess it was this section I was referring to: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc24609.htm

In any case, this is not a big issue with me or I would also consider putting a front plate on my car..etc. etc...

The primary purpose of this mod is for clean finished looks and function.

 

for some reason $72 + shipping still seems a bit high...especially if alot of people are getting them for there CL and TL

 

I wouldn’t say "a lot" frank, not the kind of numbers that the Accord would have for example. keep in mind this is a domestic only car we have and clears DO BEST on cars that are in the JDM market.

Oh, and the TL is slightly different in shape, therefore it is a Whole separate mold producing those. Shop around and if you can get on produced for less then GREAT. However there are Companies in places such as Taiwan that want a minimum of like a $5,000 order to even consider the project.

 

wait...don't get it twisted, i'll pay the $72...but i was hoping it was going to be around $50.

 

i think imma have an auto shop install these for me, i know i'll fuck it up

 

how did u guys like that photoshop? thought it was real for a split sec. huh? hehehe....

 

you... you're good you.

 

hey, me too. If we had a hundred buyers we may be closer to $50.

 

I just got the prototype in for the 02-03 TL. Take a look.

Amazing work Jeff.

I can't wait for someone to install them on a TL.

 

talk to me nate. where are we at with this....is this another Ice-Box episode.

looks good by the way I wonder how they fit and look finished product. our own forum mod cool shit like the door sills.

seems like it will make it brighter than without

 

haha... not really lou. I just heard that the pricing should be established by next week. As you can see the TL set is completed above. Expect ours to have a resembling look and probably be priced nearly the same.


Re: the Ice Box, I am seriously starting to loose patience

 

I'm guessing that is the camera flash picking up the reflective aspect.

Just like when we shoot pics of the amber set, when we have a flash pointed at it, its looks so bright.

 

On sale now, they should ship in a week or two.

just ordered mine....now i need someone that is good at this to help me with the install...any takers??

 

guys is it me or would a smoked diffuser more see thru look better. I don't know if this would look good with the 03' headlights I want to purchase. What do you guys think?

 

so are these ready to ship now?

 

WiLd~CL: Jeff said they should ship in a week or two.


ch1276: check out the site, there is a conversion option also.

lou: I'm guessing that like they did for the S2000, they would make smoked if there was the demand to do it.

 

hey nate maybe its just that picture would you happen to know if anybody else has them installed yet. Im still interested....is there a night pic with the lights on that would definetly show a difference. I still think it looks better with it than without and the conversion is something to think about.

 

I saw that nate....just can't send out my headlights....i drive the car every day and need to have them in

 

Comment on the PIC

The lens are not installed in that pic. They are taped over the amber diffusers, with a white sheet of paper between the clear diffuser and the amber diffuser to hid the amber. He should have installed them late last week. We should be getting updated pics once the installation is completed and he (the owner) e-mails them to us.

Since that is the only shipped Acura diffuser to date (Prototype 20-03 TL) we will have to wait

If I drove an Acrua or had someone (anyone) close to me that did, I would have installed them my self and shot the pics. Since I drive an S2000, all I could do is install the S2k version in mine

So here is an offer. If someone is located in Houston,TX or is willing to drive here. I will install them for free. You pay for the diffuser, and I will install them into the headlights. PM me to shedule a time. (Note: First one gets it)

 

That explains why the above pic didn't look quite right.

I am going to clear mine out as soon as soon as the CL clears come in.



(I'm trying to be patient )

 

well how much time r we talking here??? days??? weeks?? months???

Scooter. Have your Credit Card info ready and stay on the line.




I bought mine this morning.

 

done

 

Most likely Im going to wait for the $200 and they clear them for me approach. I have no problem doing it but its much easier to blame someone else if they fog. Did anyone go this route or did everyone just buy the diffusers???

 

I just bought the diffusers, but I did consider the option. I may be painting my headlights, so I'll have to do it all myself.

 

Paint them same color as the car that would look phat!!! Ill just sit back watch and learn Let me know and post pics.

 

i panic'ed for a min, cuz the site said '02 - '03 CL/CLS, and i thought bout the fact that the '03's are blacked out, while the '02's aren't...then i remembered Mr. Big's pic and that it was a clear diffuser on there...perhaps they should mention that the diffuser for the '03 is NOT blacked out like the rest of the housing
