Smile Pics of the TL with many new mods!

i finaly got sick of looking at the tacky hood scoops and some of the vinals i had put on, im trying to make the car less ricey, lol but still a work in progress. i still need to fix the "-" in the vtec lol, im just to lazy. i just added the 3A tips and my custom grill today so i took some pics, sry bought the crappy qulity i used my phone since i dont have a digital camera anymore . any advise on what i should do next is welcome. i also have my flame suit on, lol. but im happy with it, my next mod will hopefully be an OEM body kit once i get a few more paychecks







^^^yea my rims are curbed pretty bad blame my dad,grrr.

Like everyone else said, stickers ruin the clean look. IMO, putting stickers on a car in general is pointless.. unless you are sponsored and have no choice.

(A small forum sticker would be an acception, but only one, not like 4)

i belive they are pilot, but im not sure, got them at pep boys, there nothing super but a hell of a lot better than the stock pedals. and i just drilled holes and bolted them on, they look pretty good and will do fine untill i can aford the nice ones i saw in the black market! i think i payed about 45$ for them. they do look pretty nice for cheaper pedals.

the blue box is a control box screen that displays what my outside neons look like so i dont have to get out of the car to see it lol, and the clear things are only clear now since the keys arent in they are toggle swicthes (red when off, blue when on) and one controls my inside neons and the other is for my radar detector

i know your still in that stage where you put anything on ur car and it looks nice to you. but trust us it doesnt, and it might hurt your feelings if we say your car is ugly but were only trin to help u not look like a fool to ppl like us. your cars still nice, just get rid of the stickers, steering wheel cover, and repaint ur calipers black. and if you do have street glow, well thats on you but i would take it off. if you wanna make your car ricey...then you do wat u do. but i will say its ugly

You can treat the steering wheel to some Lexol Leather Conditioner. Don't buy the cleaner - I find that the condition cleans pretty well too. Conditioning the leather will make it nice and soft and "grippier". Smells good too - gives it that manly, dead cow smell.

looks much, much better. If you want to be 1 step ahead of all the little boys around you, it's the subtle, classy touches that count. Save up for the mods you really want and you won't be disappointed.

Much much better. If really do want a sticker ( not dissing ), because Ima get one pretty soon, get a small Acurazine.com and put it on the side window. Save up some money to get a kit and repaint the front end first. But good work nonetheless.

Mine are scuffed as well but you can only tell when the car ISNT rolling . Honestly I paid $200 for the tires and about $150 total for the rims because I pieced them together one at a time. The last two I got from a guy on Craigs List for $50 and both rims were MINT!!!!

Oh yeah and I mentioned you being on the west coast because I was too lazy to read your avatar information

u got that oem kit the other day man (i was there haha) put that on and post pics ... try a lip spoiler, and 02/03 taillights next... and take the risk of tinted windows on the front... where i live in jersey its bad with cops too, it looks infinitely better though, trust me... either that or take all of the tint off... it should be all or nothing imo but its your call at the end of the day (obviously lol)... but yea also look into some type s rims... its clean though, and anything you did that was considered rice is reversible... so no harm done ...i know wut it is to be living paycheck to paycheck paying off expenses and still trying to mod the car haha
