NEW MEMBER! Come and say Hi !

Hey everyone, I am a new member here. I recently g ot a used 2002 TL-P. It only had 4000km on it so it is pretty new. I love every part of the car, only problem is it is gold....I know...it's the worse color you could ever get. Anyhow, I am starting to look into what kind of modification I could do to it.

I don't know if I should put a lot of money into it to make it look nice with good performance. Especailly now the 05 TL is out, do you guys think is worth working on it?

I have a few other car which includes a Acura 1.7EL, a Acura Legend, and a Honda Odyssey. I put a lot of time into one of the above car, guess which one it is.

Here are some pics:











Any positive or negative comments are welcome.

Anyways I am still thinking what I should do with my TL. The TL is a very comfortable car and I would probably want to keep it that way. How does the TL handle with upgraded suspensions? I know there is a supercharger kit avaliable but the tranny is not very reliable.

Anyways this is my first post and just cAme here to say hi.

nice odyssey. I didn't know they made glow gauges for it - or is it custom? also are those LEDs in the headlights and the headliner? good choice in tv shows.

Hey Lookinco, I thought your name was familiar! I'm a member of the Ody forum too! If you remember, we PMed each other briefly quite awhile ago. Well, since we both got TLs and Odys, we should definitely hook up. I can give you the mod scoops on the TL, and you can tell me the mods for the Ody. :P PM me sometime, and let's meet for coffee or something.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!!!!! The van has airbags, so it's not that low when I am driving it. For the license plate, it's not back lit. It's just reflection when I took the picture. Also the license plate is different because I just changed it recently. RL1 is the chassis code of the Odyssey. The headlight is a retrofit from a set of E65 bi-xenon projectors and I added the LED strip on the top.

Anyways thanks again for all the compliments!! Car going to show in about a month. Hope I would do good in it. Too bad they don't have a minivan category.

Where'd you get the LED strip? Do you have a link? Or are they custom? With LEDs, I usually have to wire them myself into a flexible cable, but it's a PITA to get the LEDs to aim in the same direction.

Welcome on board. Your van is off the hook! Definite bonus points from me for the ironic clip of "The Family Guy" in your family car.
