<p>Sold the car to the mechanic at my shop. Same price I bought it for in 09. I just didn't feel like putting in the work. He owns a couple old Acuras. She is in good hands.</p>

Thanks for all the photos and experimenting with different looks. I also have a black '99 TL and especially enjoyed the wheel photos. I just discovered that I need to go to aftermarket wheels in order to clear new Wilwood front calipers on 13" rotors. My current wheels are '02 TLS knockoffs (17X6.5 55mm Offset) w/ P215/50R17 Michelins. I'm debating whether to go to 18" wheels w/ new tires and sell the current wheels/tires or just buy aftermarket 17" wheels.
