Yea, if I had the money you would be doing the body work on the car and paint. But kinda broke as the moment.

I have a question for OP, is that injen intake the SP1431? sorry if it seems specific but i was told that this wouldn't fit on the 2012 but i'm not so sure. /:

savclaude

savclaude

Acura_Dude

OP very nice car! BTW the DRL kit, is that the same kit that's used in the 07-08 TL that IJDM and V-LEDs are advertising? Yours just reminds me of those exact kits.

THEN I INSTALLED MY OEM FLUSH MOUNT ALONG WITH SOME REAR WINDOW VISOR
NOW THIS IS THE REAR WITH THE PARTS



Really nice-clean looking car!!!! I'm sortta new in the TSX family, and I love that lip over the window. Looks perfect! Where did you get it (specs)

thanks alot

thanks alot, well if the bulb size on that TL is 9005 yes it should be sorry for the late reply

savclaude

just a few updates been real busy lately but i had a chance to work on her lately
I recently purchased a set of Ultra Racing bars(upper,rear sway bar and else) to firm that big body a little bit,they normally come white but i think plain white would be a bit boring so i painted the upper bar anthracite grey(honda nh643-m) to match the tl wheels
oem top UR bottom

then for the others i went wild i wanted something bright so i duplicate the cusco blue by using a chrysler paint code intense blue (chr,pb3)


on a scale from 1 to 10 i would say it was a 7 since i know just enough about mechanic stuff and did it with no help but i gotta say new projects are always fun cause u get to think and to use some common sense now into pics

AFTER












I KINDA LIKE THAT REAR VIEW


I also took care of the interior a bit i finally got rid of my pep boys floor mats and replace them by some oem retail price $ 300 and change but got mines for 120 special hook up

Did you get rid of your injen intake?

savclaude

thanks man yes i will i was also amazed on how everything fits so well i wanted the progress rear sway bar since it is cheaper but it will kill me to drill and mod other stuff to make it so for about another 100 bucks i got the UR and it fits just like oem

yes man im down at what time though i work from 8 am to 6pm

still have it i recently went to the dealer so i removed it, i'll put it back sometime this week end though

Where did you order the strut bars from? I was thinking from ultra racing but I could be wrong lol. Hows the drive?

opboarding

Thats awesome you painted everything like that. I wish I had access to someone who could paint things for super cheap/free. I'd paint everything.

Also, that trunk liner looks really good. I'm going to have to look into that to keep my stuff from sliding around!

savclaude

thanks man

i bought it from a seller of ebay so he gave me and awesome deal look up ebay seller khyeow2010 as far as the drive i haven't try it yet all i did was back it up out of the garage wash it and drive it back in,cause i was also working on my other car so the test drive will be this week end for sure

thanks man that trunk liner is a must specially for me i have two kids and they like to spill stuff

VortexBlueTSX

How low is that rear brace? Im really interested in it but damn thats low! None the less, great work man!

Did you sand down your engine cover before you painted it? Im guessing vht high gloss black?

savclaude

thanks man i measured it last night and it 1.50" lower then the exhaust but if i loose the bolt i could push the bar up i will have a better clearance

well i used a red scotch brite put some adhesion promoter and used automotive paint it is as shiny as the car,the picture is just blurry

terdonal

Coming along very nicely. You have made some very nice changes to it, good work.

savclaude

OG approval thanks sir

Have any issues with fitment with the UR front strut bar?

savclaude

thanks man

no issues at all, fitment is like oem here a couple pics
i really like the color i painted it since it's not really that noticeable i will also paint the vc with that same anthracite grey








i also threw some paint on that plastic cover didn't come out bad,that was one of the reason i chose black you can color match many unpainted parts and it wont look flashy


manifold cover

ed_423

wow that looks real clean man!

MC MiYoung3269

Dam, thats hella clean~

ssjoeboe9

Now what to do with the matte black valve cover?

ttk5

savclaude

installed with emblem



thanks sir

ed_423

did you use high heat paint? or just regular?

ssjoeboe9

Now I'm jelly... what are you going to do with your silver polished valve cover?

intense blue (chr,pb3) PLEASE

savclaude

just automotive paint, been doing this for some time now and i would change color like every year and the paint always look like the 1st day(no single stage only base clear)
had this midori green on my h22 vc for nearly a year

current color kia cobalt blue with color match calipers with no prob
