White Diamond

Just wanted to say that I have a white diamond TL also. I've had it about 3 weeks and I'm loving it. I am having to get the third brake light piece replaced because the fabric was hanging down pretty bad from it. Anyone else have this issue?

Brytl217, looking good so far! should be sick with wheels. I am trying to find the oem kit like yours but damn them things are expensive. Trying to find a used one. I like that painted grill, is it easy to take apart to paint?

THanks guys for the compliment.. the grill and the engine bay parts i had painted along with my spoiler at a local shop about a year ago. THe grill is really simple to take apart. all you have to do is remove the bumber and the grill is attached to the bumper by two or three clips.

i wanted a WDP originally but i heard that re-painting parts would be hard cus its a two stage paint process so it would be difficult to get an exact match on things like a body kit and such. thats y i went with taffeta white but when i see the WDP i drooooooooooooooooolllllllll. its the only color that i truly drool over.

I have a silver TL...but at first I wanted a white. I think white and silver make the TL look a little more luxourious..

Just got an 03 WDP TL-S about a month and a half ago. So far, all i've got are the illuminated door sills being sold on this forum and a little foglight mod. but...TOMOROW, my OEM lip should be coming in. plan on putting that in friday/saturday and while im at it, clearing out blacking out headlights, and foglight HID. so hopefully i will have some big changes by the end of this week







Brytl217's car is like...my goal haha. I'm really feeling the blacked out headlights and foglights. i would paint the foglights too, but i dont think i can get to them, i replaced the glass with Lexan and epoxied them together...dont think thats gonna come off. i would do the JDM conversion but i already have sills that say Acura, so im sticking with it.

My SN says it all. Yall seen my pic ova there at pic forum. So I think I am gonna change my sn to SLAMMED_WDP_TL300. WDP is a bitch to repaint tho. I think it s a 2 or 3 stage paint plus the white fades over time so you cant just paint part of the body you have to repaint the whole car unlike some other color where they can jsut blend the rest of the body. Anyhow, I forgot where I read it but it was a while back. WDP and black interior is the rarest made TLS. So I got the rarest TLS. YEA FOR ME!!!.
