VERY nice! I'm glad to see you when with the pearl white. I'm jealous... That thing's screaming for some 19" HRE's.

I am retiring the ASTROBOY plates for a little while...my car was too well known for it's own good...this car is going to have more done to it, so nobody needs to know it's mine

It might want 19's but here in Canada 18's are a risk...2 of mine have dents in them...

naw,just wanted to see what it would look like....and it will keep my dash from fading in the sun when it's sitting outside at car shows all summer,,,

I really like this car, and I cann't wait to at least get all my performance mods on it, that will make it look SO much tighter than it does already

Astro, which solenoids are you planning on hooking up to the doors? and make sure you have a wire to pull when your battery dies. I just finished putting them on my burban.

Sweet tint.

Thanks for reminding me I still need to tint mine. I won't be able to do the front window, but I'm not as worried about fading.

I see you have an Acura-TL.com sticker already .

As for the fogs...get PIAA 9006 Platinum Super Whites
High Beams: 9005 Platinum Super Whites.

Your car is gonna kick ass!!! Dunno bout those ghost flames though...

Real interested in how the shaved door handles will look though...there's a post going on @ A-TL.com about it right now....

thanks for the light tips, I'll go get them tomorrow

have you changed any of your interior lights like some guys are talking about?

what about an HID conversion for the reverse lights?
that would be sorta cool...

You can get HID fogs...dunno bout the conversion for the rears though.

For interior lights:

For the courtesy door lights I think you can use Gigalux Hyperwhite 168s. I believe somebody tried Polargs but they melted the housing . You can also use PIAA Super Plasma Wedges .

For the map lights go with PIAA Extreme Wedges (H-222). These bulbs can be used for the trunk and glove compartment too I think. Dunno If anybody has changed the dome light, its a DE3175 bulb (never heard of it).

For future reference:

Front Headlight (Low) NA
Front Headlight (Hi) 9005
Front Turn Signal 1157
Front Bumper Light NA
Fog Lights 9006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brake Light 7443
Reverse Light 921?
Rear Turn Signal xxxx
Rear License Plate 168

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interior
Door Lights 168
Dome Light DE3175
Map Lights 168
Center Console Light ?
Trunk Interior Light 168
Glove Box Light ?168/194


Hope this helps.
