My second suspension setup...Teins cranked down somewhat low..


A shot with my old bike (which I miss lol)...


One of the first shows I did...dub show in 04 I believe...didnt win shit lol...


First trunk setup...


Canovers installed...



New dash setup..


The coveted Blaze grill...


HIN '05...


HIN '06...(watup Steve in teh second pic lol)



Winter time ...


Thanks for looking!! I will have a few updated pics of the changes the car will be undergoing this winter...or atleast of what has been started

By far the most unique TL I have ever seen. That conversion is hella tight!! I bet GS400 owners double take all the time. You may even be able to trick a cop if he runs radar on you and goes to catch up, just to find an Acura...but no GS400..LOL!! Great work!!!

If I didnt know any better I would have diffenently guessed the final product was a Benz if I just saw the front end on the road. Sweet job.

Some pics of the changed trunk...its mostly the panels that were changed up. nothing drastic, just little touches which I wanted done....all the panels are new, and we ran a red double stitch throughout the trunk. New plexi was also added...but thats not installed yet. I also had a piston put in to hold the trunk lid up...




A shot of the rear with the smoked turn signals..


The rear is on stock suspension/springs...it doesnt look like there is much gap with the 20s on...I had to send the rear canovers back to japan to be rebuilt. After 2 years, it seems he seals inside the cylinders needed to be changed. They are on the way back now


Front slammed...no driveway angle pics here lol



Normal ride height...

i like it, but I think your seats should have been black/ red 2 tone with suede and the front end conversion looks a bit funky from the side shot.

as far as what other plans i have...its pretty much engine mods, OEM navi retro, and a new steering wheel. the engine mods though are somewhat extensive...

maddd clean. not big fan of the wheels. Get some of those RH C5 Pro's. The front bumper seems like it needs to be widen a bit...maybe a call for a wide body flare?

Either way man that car looks nice. It took me 2 first looks to really see that it was an Acura
