Post up Sporty looking TL's

Anyone with the sport looking TL's can you guys please post some and tell me what you have done to it? I need some ideas on trying to make the TL sporty. What I like so far is the Sarona kit with WW spoiler and dropped 2 inches.

No OEM bodykit yet ... or rims, but I think the headlights adds a sporty/aggressive look ...

LiQiCe, I like your headlights a lot. Can you just explain what you did to the lights, because I would like to do something similar to my ride. It gives it an A-Spec look, I'm liking it a lot. Peace...

He cleared them and blacked them out, to get them like the CL's headlights or the ASPEC's lights. Mr. does it in NJ, so contact him, his work is great from what I've seen and know!!

I defenitely agree, it makes the car look much sporty!!

Those headlights are awesome. I have been looking for projector style lights my my TL.

Does anyone know if they make them for the '00?

Average TL

I just used the factory ground effects and spoiler, and then added some 17" milano rims.I've seen some pics of the ones that have been droped and they look great but your ride might get a bit more stiff. [IMG]

Those headlights look awesome. What a difference they make on the car. Is there anyone in Canada that does that type of work, or instructions on how to do it.

Thanks... I do love the TL's

Anyone in the Northern Virginia area can get them done where I got 'em done. I-MOD over on ClubRSX does them. I think its $175 for everything, that includes removing the headlights and all ... He usually keeps the car overnight and has them done the next day.

If anyone is interested in getting them done, his thread for installing mods is here :

http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=79815 (note: most prices are for an RSX, so some prices on mods will be different for the TL)

Easiest way to get in touch with him is to PM him on ClubRSX.

If anyone has any questions on the process feel free to PM me.

You can buy a used set off of ebay and have them sent to me.. Once I mail them back you can sell yours and make your money back. A few people have done that already..

Here's my '99 Monterey Blue Pearl.

Nothing out of the ordinary: OEM kit, Mugen Grill, 02 taillights, Blitz Technospeed Z2s, and blacked out window chrome. (I still need to get rid of the door handle chrome.)

Thanks for the compliment.

BTW, I used to have tinted front windows, but got a rather pricey "fix-it" ticket. It is my understanding that future violations of the same infraction have an escalating fine.
