ok so i went to the Acura dealer in Appleton, wi got some new bulbs for the gauge cluster and climate control, as im walking out the parts guy tells me there is a guy with a 2001? TL doing a 6 speed swap on his car, just curious who that is on here? im guessing he lives in fox valley area.

 

i know kris did his six speed swap in 2007 but it's done, and his is a '00 don't know anyone else in appleton

 

nice, the dealership is doing the swap???

 

It was probably me, i actually called them this AM around 8-8:30 and was seeing if they had a few parts. I talked to him for a little bit and told him what i had done (not what i was doing)

 

oh yea he said it was someone calling right before i got there..so it most likely was you, i also saw someone in a dark colored TL pullin out onto lyndale drive between wi and northland they had tint and it looked lowered...nice lookin, but was dirty.. lol

 

That was probably also me, i live over by copps grocery store. I have a laguna green 2000, lowered tinted windows and its very dirty

 

So you are the new really clean DEP with oem kit running around. I saw you tonight leaving the mall around 8:45. Nice work on the side markers

 

I washed it last night and its already a mess today. This is why i typically dont waste money and time on car washes in the winter

 

No point in doing that

 

now that i live in a house and not an apartment complex i wait till the temp is like 35 to 40 degrees and suck it up and handwash it. i'm satisfied with that

 

Yea, well we wont get those temps for another month or so. Our typical daytime high is in the low 20s, often like 10. Im not hand washing in the cold. I when i feel the need to will bring it to the car wash.

 

i do a wash like 3 times a week in my heated underground parking garage.. i do detail my detail jobs in there all year long.. its great my neighbors love me lol i want to tint the windows a little bit and get the OEM spoiler thats about it and i put new xenon bulbs in two days ago.. and converted the 3rd brake light to an LED bar behind the oem lense.

 

3 times a week

 

Wow..3 times a week. You must have a lotta time on your hands. I'm lucky to get 3 times a month right now. Even in the summer it's still only once a week for me.

 

I would wash my car everyday

well I do in the summer

 

well i just do it after i get home from work or something..it usually only takes me half hour at most.. and the interior is always spotless

 

Same here, just a daily wipedown with a cloth on the interior and the inside stays clean. Once in a while, I'll bust out the vacuum and glass cleaner.

 

when i first got the car i did a full blow out detail.. like i took the seats out and cleaned every inch of carpets, and pulled out every piece of trim such as shifter base and everything.. and i scrub with a tooth brush on the leather and arm rest and anywhere there is scuffs, no joke but my interrior looks brand new.. the guy that bought it new before me kept it up as well, but i perfected it. lol

 

have you taken pics of the sidemarkers yet? haha

 

Ive seen them. Look good.

 

cant find camera and yes they do look good.. lol

 

Sorry to thread jack but I've seen this black 02-03 TL-S in Oshkosh slammed to the ground with the OEM kit/stock wheels rolling around just wondering if you guys have seen it by chace.

 

ive seen him too. Years back i met up with a member here and we followed down to milwaukee for a meet. I think he was from the oshkosh/fondulac area wonder if its him or his car.
