Hey Acurazine how's it going. My name's Ryan. I have a 2002 Acura TL NBP. I am really into modding it! I let a local shop do fiberglass work on my car and they completely dicked it up. somehow they slipped it in the papers i signed that any mess ups wont be taken care of... so now i am stuck with buying all new door panels anyways.... here's a pic of my TL


3g iPhone pics FTW!

Anyways my current mods are..
6000k Lows/Fogs
Fog Light Mod
Resonator Removed.

I LOVE THIS CAR!

Anyways i am thinkin bout gettin the Tsudo Axleback exhaust,mid muffler delete, new door panels, rims, lowering, and idk what else.

basically i am welcoming myself, asking for modding ideas, and also asking where i can find door panels in this one thread

Thanks
-Ryan

 

Welcome Ryan!

Sorry to hear that your shop butchered the door panels

 

yeah man same here...
i really want new ones but idk how much they will cost those panels r so nice!

 

Hopefully somebody here in the 2G community can point you in the right direction to get some new ones. Sorry I can't help.

 

its cool bro! hopefully someone can...

 

PM this guy... shane_02TL

bummer.. i switched that cars interior from beige to black before selling it...

the interior sat for months with no interest.. i ended up throwing away the entire interior... panels, dash, center console, pillars.. even the seats..

take a look on LKQonline's store on EBAY.. they usually sell a whole set for 1-200 bucks shipped..

 

hmm.. how much did it cost to switch to black? id love to do this!

 

ok so i officially need to get ahold of that shane guy!
black interior conversion is a GO!

 

Welcome!

 

yayy. i did the same thing. u will not regret it

 

Have fun modding the TL!

 

you can buy the door panels on ebay for about 70 bucks a door...

 

my left rear door panel is a little worn...if i ever sat in the back it would drive me crazy..may change to black at some point.

 

i cant stand the tan interior! i cant wait to do the change to black!

 

anyone got a black dash they would be willing to sell me? also.. i am wanting the seats that are more of bucket seats and have a different looking headrest. any help would be awesome guys! i have never done an interior change but i know how to work on cars. just need the right stuff and make sure i buy nothing wrong and get stuck with it!

 

since my question would help out the OP ill just post it here...

im also in the process of changing my interior color to a 2-tone black and charcoal gray, except im going the cheaper route and using paint. my question is how can i take the dash and passenger side kick panels out? i cant seem to get around the glove box and im scared to touch the passenger airbag to get the dash out. i also need to take off my steering wheel but also another airbag issue. how do i disconnect them without them going off in my face? how many bolts are holding in the dash?

 

03. disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected. wait at least 15 minutes for the capacitor storing power to unload. you then will be ok. u taek the kicks out by pulling the back end of them out. towards the center console. the drivers side u just need to do the same but u will need to pop the hood latch for easier removal.
