I think painting my side skirts was a good idea. Whadya guys think??

Chinaman38

I dont see side skirts...........unless your calling that white line under the door side skirts.........which us texans call it monochrome....unless thats a body kit with thin side skirts....other wise those side skirts..but looks nice

96TL

WOW, they look very good. How much did they charge you? My TL is black so they won't stand out as much as yours. I really want to paint them though. I hate that plastic look. Thats the only plastic on our car and it looks dumb. I really like your front blinkers, too. How much for those and was it hard to remove the yellow reflector? Sorry for all the questions but there isn't too many 1st Gens on this site. Here's a pic of my blinkers, they aren't crystal clear, I like yours better.

hey what kind of bulbs do you have for your headlights? and/or corners?

DFUNKMASTER

96TL, Those blinkers are just bumper lights. I got them on this web site. The yellow ones snap right out and the clear ones bolt right on. It's easy. Didn't you replace them also, or are those factory? Are those fog lights at the bottom of your bumper? I really like those. It cost me a little over 300 to paint the side skirts. Little steep I thought, but he got it done in about 2 or 3 days...which I was happy about. BTW, Are u still rubbing?

DFUNKMASTER

The wheels are ADR GT Sport. I could probably get as cheap as your gonna find them if you wanted them.

Jz983, The bulbs are factory, except for the corners, which I put some aqua colr in there. Looks OK, but I'm probably gonna change them back to white. I need new bulbs...especially my headlights. PLEASE give me some IDEAS. I have no idea about bulbs.

Hey, just curious, why did you post my pics again??

grksfinest

your cars looks really clean and nice.

i also have a first gen tl i just wanted to no if the car is dropped in those pics thanx

96TL

I have clear blinkers too, but they arent CRYSTAL clear like yours. They have that foggy look. I bought them from another website before I knew about this one. I like yours better. Its not really worth buying another set, though. I really like your sideskirts, maybe I'll do mine soon, but I have other plans for now. My wheels are still rubbing by the way. Maybe I'll get my quarters cut and my sideskirts painted at the same time.

96TL

Also, the foglights are PIAA 1200s in Ion Crystal. They look nice at when they're on.

jz983

I have Cool Blues H3 (or was it H4). There cheap. and they look decent. If you have the money though, I would go for PIAA superplasma or polarg's. later

Nice car... I'll have my car's sideskirt paint white this weekend too. My counsin owns a bodyshop, so he'll do that for free - I'll also have it tint this weekend as well... I'm thinking about 20% platinum tint... what do you think?

Soon enough, my car will turn into a twin of yours

Grksfinest, Yes the car is dropped with Eibach springs.

Maxx, I need to get a new tint also. My tint is fading and turning purple. I'm not really sure what Platinum tint is, but I was thinking about doing mine in limo tint. I think the darker the better, especially on our pearl color cars.

Inf4life

hey dfunkmaster what type of Eibach's did you get?? Pro Kit or Sportline?? i just ordered the Pro Kits. i should have them tommorrow. as for the headlights, i would go with the Piaa Super Plasma. the are expensive but they are definitely worth it. i've got them on my TL and i'm nothing but pleased with them. they have a purplish blue tint to them and are very clear. i like your rims too. i just ordered some 18" Giovanna Corsicas today. they'll be here in a week. i'll post some pics of my ride when i put them on.

MaxxT

Platinum tint is like the tint on the newer Benz... it's similar as the mirror tint... but not that bad as mirror... My friend had his Accord 98 tinted a few weeks back, platinum tint, it looks pretty good. I'll let you know how it'll turn out. I agree with you, the darker tint, the better...

MaxxT

I want to know how much cheaper could you get these rims for?
I said that I was going to get those rims, actually, my friend has this sets on his 98 Accord and wants to sell these for $1400 with tires. He has the sets since Christmas... only one rim has some scratches, the other three are fine.
What do you think? Is it a good deal?
I do think if I'm willing to spent that much why would i want to get a used set?

Thanks in advance

MaxxT

It didn't count my last post!

DFUNKMASTER

In4life, I got the prokit. I really like the way they are settling. A little rough at first, but I think they are adjusting to my car. Good choice with wheels. 96TL has Giovana Corsicas and they look real good. I'm probably gonna go with the superplasma eventually. Be sure to post some pic's......soon!!!
