Who's car is this?

I was looking on cars dot com and came across this 1999 TL for sale. It is in Willow Grove, PA. Is the owner a member on here?

I love how the first five things after "may upgrades" are things the car came with stock.

Why don't you just call the number on the pic? Or call the dealer, looks like a toll-free number.

It's a clean car no doubt, took some time doing what they did. I'm just not feeling the color scheme. Also, does that look like a backwards rake? stock in front, lowered in back? I love how even dealers can't spell VTEC right.

interesting mods. some of them have potential. but a lot of them dont. like the front grill and emblems the previous owner shouldve spent some money on an interior tan to black swap instead of integrating a gamecube into the car. it would look so much better with black.

and the drop is way too uneven. i wonder what its dropped on. the brakes look good though.

I actually would want it, assuming it gave useful information.

The tan/white interior is horrible. The drop is weird looking. The blue badges don't look good. But I do like the temperature knobs. I have the same door sills on my 99 TL.

The car might have a crazy ass system in the trunk which may be why the suspension looks horrible.

Yeah I've been still trying to track down those temp. knobs for years....

I know some other individuals on another forum were trying to emulate them but these were clean.

Wish I could snag a set...
