Ed!!! hey that was me sans the front lip. as some of you may know, my WW front chin spoiler was ripped off of the car due to freeway debris. I have a new one but im too lazy to get it painted and installed.

2 of the venetian valets asked me what kind of honda it was because i had the inspire emblems along with a honda emblem. compliments around. hehehe...

we left friday evening after gorging ourselves on the Rio Suites seafood buffet the previous evening.

good eye and quick camera work.

OMG, you people know whos car it is just by a pic. People here must know each other pretty well. And from what I've learned, this server is based in CA. The admin owns some racing team or is a sponsor and owns a TL accessories store. Right? I could be wrong. But since I am new here, don't strangle me for saying wrong things. Anyways, NICE CAR and PIC. I will post some pic of my new TL too, after I do some upgrades

What Tim owns a racing team? That's new to me...

hum... I don't know if he is sponsoring anyone, but hey I won't mind if Tim send me the RES, SC kit, Rim/Tires, and bababa... hell I will go racing every weekend...

Tim is the owner of this site. He runs www.autocarparts.com
His screen name is Snook

Question

jimster716,

Nice ride! How would you describe your exhaust? Loud? Quiet? Mellow? Aggressive?

thanks for the compliment. the exhaust is disturbingly quiet...but it has a nice low hum at idle but i think the AEM CAI is louder at wide open throttle.

sorry but i felt this year's show was bereft of the femme fatales. like i mentioned before in another thread, gr8ride.com's slew of women were noticeably absent.

tenzo and toyo was pretty much it from what i could tell and the toyo women are the same ones who've been doing it for like 3-4 years.

this is how bad it was...one company had fullsize cardboard cutouts of their spokesmodel strategically positioned in their designated area.

shyne: i plan to get the tails but i have to pay for a set of new tires, just paid for the 30k service, and now i have a paint gouge on my passengerside sideskirt not to mention painting and installing the front chin spoiler. i also have to get 2 of my rims repaired and while i'm doing that i'm going to have the center sections of the rims powdercoated in gun metal. too much left to do with too little funds.

already paid for the 30K service...a little under $300 after a discount since they couldn't replace my air filter since i have the cold air intake.

tires about $400
the painting of the spoiler and the sideskirt another $300
repair 2 wheels at $100 each
powdercoat 4 wheel center sections about $100 each.

all in all the plastic fantastic is going to be covering about $1300 but it will all be done in stages and i can wait for everything except for the tires since the rainy season is coming up.

btw...thanks for the compliments.

Thanks for the info. I guess I won't be getting the Apex'i Dunk 115 then. I like the way it looks, but I'm also high on sound.
