Honda day...again

So Jacksonstl03 and I went to Honda Day yesterday. So much fun and so many cars. Got there at 2:30 am and camped out till 8am. Was like a outdoor party loved it. Sooo many TL's and Accords, most I've ever seen at a Honda day. Found a couple of pics of 2gs that were there including mine. Here's the link to that page for the rest of the coverage, and these were only cars that entered in the show.

Couple of 2g's

I have to get rid of these tein basics, they don't go low enough and def not stiff enough. My fronts are maxed out in the pic. The rears can go about 3/4 of a inch lower

i saw that matte blue TL when it was being built over at Illusions. my good friend's cousin actually owns the "Satin Slut" e46 from Illusions if you've seen it around. I wasn't sure about the TL then but it def has grown on me. I hate the di-noc hood though. Guy spent all this money on a custom paint job and body work and goes and puts cheap looking vinyl on the hood? come on now.



but damn dude, your car is

It was something different so I enjoyed seeing it. And thanks. I'm actually looking for a dc2 now to build over the winter. I was gonna finance something new but think I'll have more fun with that. Wanna boost it and put a jdm front end on it

Thanks, I sure wish that front end would have went lower. I heard I can buy shorter springs and swap them out with the tein springs and I can go a bit lower. I want my stance like the white TL

in all honestly, you had the nicest and cleanest 2g tl over there. and yes, you can actually change out the springs to go lower. a member on here (02actclean / mike) did that with his tein's. you can actually go look up his profile and go thru his threads.

i think your stance is alot nicer than the one with white wheels. i mean come on, his wheels are flush but he's not running much camber in the rear. some camber in the rear makes the stance even nicer! all you have to do to your ride is switch out to shorter springs and lower it some more and it would be spot on!

and no to that blue tl. guy definitely wasted all his money to rice it out. if he gave me all that money to mod that tl, i'd be winning awards and trophies at car shows.

They had a camera crew and they interviewed me about my car, when put on the spot I forgot half the mods I did on the car Lmaoo. She kept telling me I had to repeat her questions some how in my answers. Not as easy as it sounds

Looking good! Think yours and Jacksonstl03 are the best repping 2Gs there. Not really feelin the blue or white TLs.

Any more pics of Jacksonstl? Really want to see a 2G rockin the WW!

And yea, you can order shorter springs for the Teins like xtreme posted.

No idea. But it was a full respray, like gut the car and everything so it must have been pretty costly. Unless the shop sponsored him. They've been known to do that. My friend got his S60R painted matte black through a sponsorship, only cost him 800 bucks. Basically paid only for materials.

When I say his stance I meant his height. About a half inch lower in the front and I'd be all set. After I swap out the springs I'm done looks wise. Gonna do some performance mods

That paint job on the blue is pretty sick though. Your car still stands out more than the others, classier.
