New member! Few pics! =)

Hey guys, I'm Alex and I've been lurking on the forums since I got my 01 TL-P about 2 months ago. I used to have a slammed 02 Accord but got this TL-P from my uncle for dirt cheap and couldn't pass up the deal!

**Sorry for the low quality pics. Haven't had time, plus the eather has been crappy lately down south...

-01 TL-P
-OEM Navi
-OEM Lip kit
-FF Type 1 Coils(droped 3.5" Front and 3" Rear)
-3G TL wheels (215/45/17 tires)


From this...





To this...







Thanks for looking!

get the JDM bumper with fogs, if not just get the fogs and throw them on, your car would look sick, SSM with those fogs and those 3G wheels look great IMO, and of course wheels would set it off, but you rockin out good reguardless!

I seen those fogs selling for a while too.....I dont know why no one ever jumps on them.

Thanks guys!!!

Only plans I have for the car are:

-modified wings west front lip and maybe a ww rear too.
-raise the car up a tad so I don't ruin the oem front lip too bad.

Do the Jdm fogs fit into our bumpers? They look like they do. Looks like All I would have to do is cut out the bumper insert right and find a way to mount them.

I really highly doubt the JDM fogs would fit, cause I mean if it did, someone probably would have done it but now, but your the pioneer and did you get your front bumper fixed cause the insert where the fogs are suppose to go are the SSM? and not black.... I know this cause i got my bumper repainted and the bish painted that area NGM like my car, so i plan on gettin some black paint or plastidip

Yeah I think it did. I'm gonna Repaint the lowergrill and foglight bezel with plastidip this summer too.

And I don't wanna cut a perfectly good bumper To have the fogs not fit either. =\

I was hoping to see some bigger pics from viewing your other post on misc threads. Was trying to check it out from your avatar lol

Looks good! Pull off the 3G wheels quite well! btw, any issues with rubbing with the stock tires (I'm assuming those are the stock tire specs)?

Haha thanks! But the stock tire specs for 3G TLs are 235/45/17. I would love to have some 235-45. I'll probably get that size when these tires run out. And no rubbing issues for me.

Thanks bro! But surprisingly, no spacers at all. Just 17x8 +45. I plan to run some 15mm spacers too.

Get the JDM fogs! of course it would take alittle modification, but bro it would be so worth it, it would just bring out your front end more, the accord fog modd is ight, but the JDM fogs are a big win! U cant even go wrong with the prices they are asking for them.

Who do u really know today that is rockin the JDM fogs on a USDM bumper, on a 99? You can start the list off for this year!

Nice... and you're approx dropped 3.5" on F2's? Didn't roll fender? Man, makes me want to get a set of 3Gs instead but always thought it'd be hella low cos the smaller rim size despite the 45 profile tire. Good to know!

I'm just curious on if he went went further than cutting the OEM foglight bezel or not... I don't want to cut into my bumper... =/

I'm actually raising it up a bit.. about 5/8" all around. I don't want to destroy this lip kit.. haha I had the accord slammed to the ground but it had lip kit, so I was comfortable driving around like that. This car is a different story. lol

I'd consider IF i do the WW front lip.

I'm sure it's just the foglight housing itself, no need to cut into the bumper.
