Noice!

 

car looks great. Your using black rubber mats on beige interior?

 

Do your seats not have the perforated leather like most TL-S's have?

 

that loooks hot

 

baeutiful car...

 

I thought parchment leather came only in black, but correct me if I am wrong....


The ride looks nice, your calipers painted or did you buy them like that??? Where did you get all the badging from???

 

" I say god damn"

That looks great, as usual, nice work Derrick

 

X 2
so we'll c ya in sept?

To address some questions:
1) kept the winter mats in the car ... too lazy to take out the ones that come with the car.

2) parchment = beige interior. In Canada, the blue TL-S only comes with parchment interior. And yes, they have the perforated leather like all "Type-S" cars have (steering wheel, seats).

3) for 2002 model year, EBP (eternal blue pearl) was a Type-S exclusive colour (along with white)

4) I painted my calipers yellow using Foliatec paint. There is chipping from the times the tires were rotated / tires changed at the various shops I visited.

5) Where did I get the badging? Got them from the no-longer-existant (ie their website is down), Value Car Audio. (BTW, never had a problem with them professionally) But I picked up the JDM door sills from the Singapore Honda dealership. (Had the part #, I was in Singapore, they ordered it in for me. It was cheaper to get it there than to have it shipped from other websites I knew ...)

Thanks for the props.

 

*drool!*

beautiful car!!

oh wow - and you even have clean exhaust tips!! *wink wink* :P sorry - just had to revive that comment!!!

 

Hey Street Spirit ...

Thought you'd appreciate the (somewhat) cleaned exhaust tips.

 

Just goes to prove that you have the cleanest and nicest looking TL in Ontario......

 

That's a sharp-looking car! Great pics too.

 

very frickin nice

 

Is that how a zainoed car looks after 2 weeks? Do you have another car or have you been driving it regularly since you zainoed it? Is it kept garaged?

 

No ... it's my daily driver. Just took pics after I zaino'ed it 2 weeks prior. I was too lazy to take photos WHEN I zaino'ed it. Still shiny -- highly recommend Zaino to anyone. And yes, it is garage kept.

 

hey where did you get that comptech oil cap?

 

Got the oil cap from Woodbine Acura in Toronto. They were having a sale on Comptech stuff ... if you bought the icebox, they'd give you an oil billet (aka 'cap') for free. My friend got the icebox and gave me his. Otherwise, I'd have a pretty 'stock' engine bay.

 

Looks nice derrick. I love the color almost as much as the ABP. How'd you get the tips so clean, mine are black.

 

You'll have to ask Street Spirit how to keep exhaust tips clean (inside joke). Actually, ResidualFreedom (or was it sc354?) pointed out some stuff you can buy ... it comes in a can. It's essentially steelwool drowned in some sort of aromatic solution (acetone?) to wash off all the carbon. Anyway, it was only a few bucks at Canadian Tire. I'm lucky to think that it came off ... I used to use 'Hot Wheels' rim cleaner from Meguiar's.
