Arrow My 99 HMM TL...Before & After

Well,Kinda new to AcuraZine and wanted to post some before & after pics of My 99 Acura TL Simple & Clean.

Posted before with a lil mini shoot with my bros MR TSX.

On to the pictures(not the best Cell phonePics but work with me)


Planning on Adding Colored Matched Roof Spoiler not sure...

When i first got her =)


Then Got backed into at my job at night


Then Removed Tints,and lowered it


Loved how it looked on the stock wheels


All Washed up With My bros MR TSX


Was parked at the mall and this epic fail parked next to me...


Ended up getting some brand new Type-s Wheels,Rear Bumper got painted


Added My weathertech window visor(love them)




Love My Rubber Front Lip Splitter




ALL washed up




My DDMTunning 45k Bulbs


Debaged(I kno Im missing Tips...Just looking for some nice ones)

Not liking the Home Depot lip. Also, whoever painted your rear bumper needs to repaint it.

Otherwise, !

Why would you spray paint Your bumper? Good Lord it looks bad. It's just as obvious as when it was black. Peal those "fem" stripes off and do 02-03 Tails. BTW what happened to the exhaust tips? Time for an exhaust. Tsubo's is nice and cheap since it clearly shows you're on a budget....

Looks good so far. Get some ebay type s tails. THey look like the real thing, had some for my 99 as well. Get rid of the lip kit and mud guards and get the rear bumper painted at Miracle or something for cheap and I think you will be good to go.

i woulda spent money on painting the bumper correctly before spending money on lowering it.

other than that and the black plastic on the front bumper, it looks good

damn if u did paint the bumper urself it looks like a pretty decent job to me, its going to be hard to match the paint that has 12 years of age on it. for what its worth the bumper is acceptable to me unless u wanted to blend half of the car to get it to match
