looks great, the after-drop looks so much better than the before-drop!

but i think the strut bar is not really needed, and makes the engine compartment look more complicated than it already is

Looks nice..do you have camber issues or bottom out with that setup? Do you have stock shocks? if so, how many miles did you have when you changed your springs.

stinkboy

i have stock struts. i have 30,000 miles and i changed the springs a few months ago. as for the strut bar, yes its a tight fit. however with the strut bar and the comptech sway bars front and rear, i have virtually no roll at fast speeds on sharp turns. i was amazed at how tight this was. i didnt notice too much difference with just the strut bar, but holy cow after i put the sway bars on i noticed it on the very first turn. other questions, no camber issues. bottoming out? well you do have to do more angles, but its no different than driving the firebird i traded in on this tl.

Nice !!!

Time for rims and tires.

how much did you pay for install on your mods...did you intall the strut bar yourself...is it pretty easy? I'm thinking about getting one..thanks..

stinkboy

i installed all mods except the exhaust myself with help from one of my employees. the exhaust was a custom install cat back. the strut bars are sort of easy to install. what i mean is the strut nuts in the engine compartment where not in the stock position because i had already changed the springs. so i had to loosen all the nuts and jack the car up to loosen the spring and hammer tap the strut at the top for the strut bar to fit without touching the stock bar that is also mounted to the strut. no they are not mounted on the same strut nuts but next to each other. as for the tire rim guy, i looking at rims. however those tires are yokohama racing tires and speed rated. the tread design must be nice, because the acura service guy thought they were great when he installed the oem aero package. as for the guy in the one pic on my site, well thats the 37 year old owner of the car before he tightened up and lost 10 pounds. he got 4th in the novice lightweight in the SNBF competition in june and 3rd in the INBF competition in july.

What brand paint did you use for the engine??

stinkboy

i used crayola paint in a can. the color is actually alot closer to the color of the aem cold air intake than the picture shows in the sport springs pictures. the without sport springs pics are more like the actual color.

I always love the white TL most. Looks extremely classy
I heard that the white color is limited edition or something like that right?

stinkboy

no the white is not special. acura makes a flat white and a pearl white. the one i have is the pearl white. maybe in canadian which i believe your tag shows you live, white is special. not in the U.S. however the pearl white is one of the more popular colors and i actually had to put money down on one before it arrived at the dealership. white is also the most purchases colors of all makes and models in the U.S.
