Happy Birthday to Me!!! Quick Timeline..

So my birthday was this last weekend and I had parts ready to install.. so why not do it on my BDAY!!!

So I got my Acura TL Salvaged around Feb. of this year. It was in good condition with a new transmission so I went with the purchase. I owned a 99TL before and loved the size and feel of the car, so I got the 2002 TLP in Pearl White this time.

So I am a family man so I just wanted to make my car stand out and look good while driving.

OEM Stock Kit
INJEN Intake Carb Legal
Tein SS Coilovers (Had these before and loved the ride: CLose to stock)
Ebay Tips
Debadged in rear
Light tint all around

**NEXT PROJECT

Blackedout Headlights
Roof Blackedout
Double DIN with DVD Player/Navigation

THEN DONE!!!

Enjoy comment...whatever... Trying to find time to do a super detail on the car!!


So here is where it started


Fresh wash when I got home...




First the OEM Kit

Then these badboys...



Then these... that I got from someone on this forum... VTECHUMP thanks again. Love the RIMS. SSR 19x8



Now this....

Looks good! What size are the wheels and offsets? Did you roll your fender or rub at all? I have Tein SS and just put on some 19x9 and I rub on dips and hard turns and I still have 1-2 finger gap in the rear.

The guy I got this from got this setup perfect with no fender rolling. 19x8 with offset of 48 running 225 tires only. Tires are a bit small but do the job... and it looks good..

Front Teins are all the way down... rears have about 3 threads up.

Thanks... I am the type to try and do things all at once... so that way its a big difference. I hate piecing my car together, not that theres anything wrong with doing that, but I just cant do it.

Like to at least lower it with rims etc all at once...

NO black roof? Wait until I get mine done this weekend and we will see what you think then.. Matches my rims: Gloss Black.
