Who's TL in Staten Island Rosebank?

It was a '99 TL, looked exactly like. http://www.acura-tl.com/images/gallery/car-35.jpg

Except the windows were tinted, no kit, no sunroof visor. Rims were the same, and the front grill was painted white.

Anyone on here?, you were standing on the corner of Scarboro Av and Bay St.

Check out the Tires/Wheel Section where they have post about their specs. Some of the guys left pics of their rims.

Changed the Hi-beams and did the tints. Placing an order on the 6000K D2S. I don't plan on lowering it (depends on the rims I'll get for the next summer) due to the roads in NYC (another reason why I didn't go with the kits) and I have the OEM spoiler.
In late winter I'll be placing an order for these babies:
BR5s on a BMW:

http://www.importspeed-south.com/Eri...i/DSCN1857.JPG

I have pictures of them on SybariticOne's TL but can't attach them and I can't find the link to his photo-site. (If you want them I'll e-mail 'em to you).

I'm going to go with 18x8 Chrome

Those rims are bad! I was gettin' prices on spring installs, and I'm getting some terrible results! Ripp modified wanted to charge me 300 for the install. Are you mechanically inclined? I've been putting off clearing my head's for a bit, but I wanna get 'em done before the summer's over! Lemme know if you're up for experimenting on these lights!!

Yeah I called Ripp myself and he also wanted 300 to install my springs. I called Tire EMpire on Hylan and he wanted 200. I'm gonna have my friend from work do it for me. If it was like 100-150 I would have had it done but 300 is way too much.

It's great to see S.I. represented on this board.. I drive a 2000 Dark Emerald Pearl TL, been driving it around the island for near 26 months now, so maybe some of you have seen me. I live in Richmondtown and go to CSI.... there's also an "acura-tl.com" sticker on the center brake light.

Noam

I'll be doing the lights soon also. And last night I saw on Staten Island Expressway a white TL-S with the fog-light yellow film mod. It looked sick. Once I get my 6000K I'll probably do the fogs then too. One of the guys on this board did it (maybe it was him).

Alexxx, that white TLS was probably me. I put that monokote film on my car about two months ago. If you want some, let me know. I drive around with the film in my car just in case.
sssick: What year TL you've got? Does your friend have experience doing springs?

Hey man if we live close to each other, want to meet up on Friday or Sunday? I really want to check those out! (I'm trying to picture how they will look with the 6000K once I order them). I'll buy some from you.

Jay I got a '03 ABP TL-S. My friend is a good mechanic, I know he's lowered two cars at my job. A 2001 Jetta VR-6 and a 1997 Audi A4. So itrust him to do my car. If you want let me know i'll ask him how much he would want to do it for you.
