say when

New to the Acura community.

screen name say when the name comes from my screen name for my toy car a 05 evo with plenty of mods.
home Lake Arrowhead, Ca
car color silver with black silver two tone
purchase May 08 35k otd before fees 31,8xx
Model 08 tl-s with propack
Trans slush box

No plans to mod the car. The car for me is family sedan daily driver. I can't see the benefit of performance mods on this car for me. I have enjoyed the car thus far.

First time Acura owner. Was always a truck guy before. Love the car. Been starting to mod it.

Have started with audio system:

Door: JL VR-525CSi components (not good enough, will be replacing with JL VR600CSi)
Rear: JL VR600CSi components (love em)
Sub: Kicker 8" shallow mount.. nixed that, adding a 10" sub in custom box by CAS in trunk.

Tearing out factory head unit, replacing with Kenwood DNX8120 Nav/DVD double DIN unit (scary to think about this project!)

Upcoming: RonJon Inspyre Silver Satin 18x8.5 and something to wrap them in. RJ body kit and a rear wing spoiler.. that should set it apart from all the other PMM TLs I see all over the place!
