Nice job with the car ... one of the reasons why I bought the TL was on a visit to the Acura dealership ... they had a TL in FPR with a kit and tint. I originally wanted to test drive the CL-S (this was back in 2001 when "Type-S" was a new thing) ... but my dad said, "Get this car!" (re: FPR TL)

Fast forward 1 year (2002) after I graduated from school ... I ended up with the first TL Type-S in my city (250,000) with the TL ... but it didn't come in FPR. I really like that color and how it stands out. The EBP can be had on a Civic or Accord ... Why does Honda recycle colors on their generic cars as well as their 'upscale' cars?

Nice transformation! What type of exhaust do you have? Your rotors and brake pads, what type are they and where did you get them from?

May I suggest Eibach / CT sway bars to even further "complete" the TL... great compliment to your ksport setup I loved mine for the short period of time they were on the car!

Also, ever thought about getting the 02-03 'A' emblem on the trunk? Might seem a waste of $15, but the larger sized emblem adds a bit of boldness in that area imo.

Overall: very, very well done. Your firepepper has come a long way... keep it up sir

Thanks man, I may actually consider the bigger "A" emblem. Looking at my pictures I think it will look amazing. I may end up getting the Eibach sway bars if I decide to sell my nitrous kit.. screw more power.

Handling is so much more fun than "racing," and as you know the ksport setup loves the twists.

Thanks, it was flipped by the previous owners son. Wish I had more pics of the damage, but those are the only ones I have left.

I see that Hard Work And Obvious Dedication Paid Off. I didn't know your car went through so much tho, I thought you just had a regular stock car that was in one piece that you just modded the shit out of.
