It looks like you got the bigger A logo (2002+ i believe). Where'd you get that in black chrome? The set that come as an option for 99s only sells the kit with the smaller A logo.

Actually, it's the 99 A logo. But I don't remember where I got it though.

I absolutely LOVE your car. I have a '99 black TL with a black interior, and for the last few months that I've owned it, I've gone back and forth on ideas on how much it would be worth my while to actually modify my car in any way, bring something as simple as maybe a set of springs and rims or something. Your car makes me think otherwise; I never realized a 99-01 TL could look so amazing. Your car gives me hope, good sir.

I am glad that I can help you with some ideas. Remember that everybody started out with a stock car so take your time and it will definitely be worth it when you are done.

FYI, I didn't even start modding my car until 2 years into owning it.

Good luck and kiss your $$$ good-bye cause once you start modding, it doesn't stop.

to the 2 people who have said it... that car is NOT VIP styled... sheesh.

anyways, i love the way it looks binh, the wheels are awesome as well. for the exhaust, hit up a muffler shop and see what they have that they can weld on. for the HID fogs, hit up ebay. you can get a kit for like $200.

p.s. im str8acura/car_lost... i sent you the PM about brian and his value kit when he messed it up

I have the 3A tips for now but trust me I've been looking for the rectangle/oval shape tips or used exhausts for a while now but still no luck. Know any place?
Haha that's why I tried to say little, tiny, and tad...i wanted to say teeny, tiny, hardly, slightly, etc. etc. but i knew no matter how many of those adjectives I used, people would still GASP at my gaul . But anyways, on the kit, it's F-ing sweet!

Any pics of the IS350? That shit must be fast as hell compared to the old car. Anyways, I just couldn't get over the fact that the back seat was soooo small. Other than that, it's a sweet ride.
