Cool AcuraZine 3G TL Member Highlight

Okay Ladies and Gentlemen.

I am starting up our highlight thread...


Our first member being highlighted is none other then reaXion...

I think since he came up with the initial idea he deserves it.

He is from my neck of the woods. Ive known YJ for a few months now, he is a great guy. I saw his car before and after the Aspec kit was installed. Very very nice.

So give it up for YJ and his TL

Here is his mod list....

2006 Anthracite TL with Navi
Full A-Spec kit
AEM CAI
Both Stock Resonators Removed
Custom High Flow Cat
UR Pulley with Gates Belt
Switchblade Key
LED all the way around inside and out











Do not ruin this thread. This thread is to highlight members and their TL's.

Do not ask any questions about why or how we are doing this. PM me if you have questions.

I will PM you when I pick you and I will inform you what info I will need....


I will let this go for two weeks and then pick another member. The thread will be closed when done...

Remember this is about the members TL, not yours, not your color, not your mods. Feel free to ask him anything.

Stay on topic. You will only be warned once....

Woohoo!
Thanks Ethan! After two weeks ago when we talked about both our TLs man I really enjoy yours and mine. I hope there will be lots more meets here in Dallas and new ideas thrown around.

Thanks in advance for those who will leave nice comments about my ride

My TL is just regular with just a few simple mods... But what an honor as Dr. Zoidberg would say!

Also, I have the McCullough 6000k HID kit in my foglights...

Great lookin' car, reaXion! What a great car to kick this thing off. I love that color on TLs, and yours is no exception. I think this is the first time I've seen your car, and I'm not disappointed, I'll tell you that much!

Thanks everyone for the comments!
triton3k I got rear ended last week and they haven't finished the rear bumper, but they are going to put on the 07 type s tailights and side markers.

Plans for next weekend are to claybar, clear our those headlights.
Big brake upgrade is in the works, RSB and the TVnavandGo system with backup camera.

Other than that I'm happy with the car

Gorgeous TL, reaxion.

Care to post a sound clip? Just curious as to what your exhaust sounds like given it's a custom job. Thanks!

I just noticed when you hover your cursor over the RonJon addvertisement at the top right of the website that it says "Acura of the Month". Uhh...was this a premonition of things to come?

When I was looking at your pics, I thought "Man, some 07 Type S tails and side markers would really look sharp on that car"

Oh, sure, that's what you say now

Seriously, really, really sharp ride. I might have to come down to a Dallas meet some time to check out some of the ultra-cool TL's

Congrats.....

07 stuff will look much nicer, black out those side lenses and you will complete the look.

The rims really do like nice on the anthracite, and i usually dont like the A-Spec but they look good on yours

Thanks everyone for the awsome comments!

I will get an exhaust as soon as I get a free moment.

My rear rear body kit just had an accident today because the dealer didn't do the install correctly for when I got rear ended, but a new has arrived and it will go on tomorrow.

I have the tail lights ready to put on and it's bugging me.

I love on the west side of Plano I'm usually up and down plano pkwy because my parents and brother life off of Plano PKWY and parkwood I work at Plano pkwy and ohio and live off of 15th and plano pkwy split.

I can't wait for the weekend because I'm going to Zaino clay bar the car and wax it with the ultimate kit.

Thanks again guys.

very neat ride bro and good luck with your future mods but I'm not having a hard on like some on here, understand that more or less they all look the same, unfortunately hehe!

Acura and aftermarket bring on the fresh already, we need some major spice, at least I do!

Sure, I removed both stock resonators and replaced it with a straight pipe, as well as getting rid of the mid muffler. They also had a hi flow cat for the front cat and it's on there. I love the exhaust sound. ask anyone from the Dallas club and they will tell you how it sounds.
