My Tl Story -sad Story :(-

This is how it begin... My beautiful 3.2 TL 2002 was going through modifications slowly and slowly... starts from tints, muffler tips, tein Sprins, 17inch Blackrims w/ chrome lips and when i thought to change the high beem to blue... My Car engine caught fire because of the wrong voltage of the bulbs i put in. The whole engine was gone however the car was ok from inside and the other parts but the hood.... i gave the car to the mechanic.. he looked for a salvage TL 2003-TL-S and swap the whole hood including rotors and breaks....He did all that and my Car will be back By Today and will go with more modifications on Monday including OEM-Lipkit, Dragon Emblem instead of Acura on the trunk, ledlight pedals, Smoke tail lights and alot more... I started this thread to put the pictures from before it was burned to when it was burned to now how it looks like and until im done with the modifications its going through... ill be posting the pictures for about 2 weeks because there will be more modifications going on...
Thanx for Reading, My acura means so much to me.... Ohh these emotions

x9, but if you want to, its your car, not ours.

Why remove the stock HID's? Unless they fried along with the rest of the engine compartment or they dead, there shouldn't be any reason to remove them.
