I'll throw up some day light pics tomorrow and maybe we can dismiss the "purple tint" idea 
It'll appear a little lower with some 18's on. We'll see how it goes, I'm trying to buy a B18C1 for my Integra right now.

Thanks for all the props guys and yes! that loading dock was exceptionally clean.
klectic, I want to get some old school 3 piece wheels. Mesh or a 5 spoke (5 star) design, possibly in a gold and or polished finish. I'm not trying to make a statement with them though, I have my Integra for that. I'll post up some possibilities later.
Silva-type-s, I'm at work man, using a free proxy to get here so I can't PM you right now. I don't mind of you come along at all...I wouldn't mind the company. I'll free up some time for this weekend. I'll PM you with my contact info, I'm located in Coral Springs.

18's will make your car appear higher 
an 18" wheel with 40 series is actually smaller in diameter then stock wheels... and 45's look too beefy
and that chrome trim around the fenderwells... why?
otherwize great looking car and well maintained..

Rockstar21, thanks for your 2 cents.
I thoroughly understand offset, wheel and tire size configurations.
Out factory spec tire is 215/50 17". this equates to 107.4mm in height.
If I were to go 225/45 18" which comes out to 101.25, this would increase the diameter by 1 inch and decrease the side wall height by 6.15mm
107.40 original side wall height
minus
101.25 new side wall height on 18"
_______
= 6.15 difference.
Lets discuss it, I'm willing to learn.

mlrskn06, thanks...that's basically how I feel.
klectic, Silva-type-s...it's not a DA it's a DB2
Oh and Rockstar21, what chrome trim around the fender well? That's some color matched fender guard that was installed by the prior owner from the dealer. It's kinda of turning brown, but it's definitely not chrome.
Here are a few more night pics from a few months ago.
Goodnight guys...
Work in the morning.

You have one of the cleanest TL's that I've ever seen. How often do you wash it? You also have a good eye when it comes to taking photographs. What kind of camera did you use? I'm actually gonna use some of your pics as my wallpaper on my puter. Hope to see more pics.

LITypeS, thanks for the compliment but I doubt that it's as clean as you imagine
She had her flaws, the hood have paint chips and the front bumper have it's share of blemishes but other than that, I'll say she is in above average shape.
Rock, I would love to remove it, I actually asked the dealer when getting the gearbox replaced, to remove it. They claimed that it will damage the paint. I'm not sure how true it is, but I don't want to chance it.
