I could go on forever, but today I am going to get some tint put on, after that I plan on getting:

-The Doms nav kit, possibly the back up camera as well.
-CAI
-Exhaust, im not sure what setup yet, I'm waiting on those sound clips to show up on the board!!
-Eibach pro kit
-20" Donz monanas
-RJ or A-spec lip kit, haven't made up my mind on that yet either...
-possibly a SS too?

Don't forget to use moleskin with the tint to prevent scratching

any questions, do a search for moleskin

Nothing better than the NBP TL's.....especially when they're clean!!! I remember when I bought mine last year and I have absolutely loved it. Congrats and good luck with all the mods.

great color choice I have the same car as you except the 6speed. I regret not getting 6speed But anywase, make sure to get the clear bra because mine has all these rock chips and tones of dead bugs

b827

It is a 6mt! Yeah Im def. going to get a clear bra... How are the reviews on the spray-on ones? I know somone who does them.

hey b827,

my dad just got an '06 6mt with navi at hoehn recently too! i think he got it may 20th when he traded in an '03 tl-s. his color setup is alabaster/quartz.

how do you like yours?

b827

I love it. I don't think I could be happier with my purchase. Can't wait to get some tint on it and throw some wheels on there too!

neuronbob

Nice color and good luck with the mods. You've come to the right place to learn about them...

NBP

Enjoy.....

MoHaWk2003

yeah, i'm trying to get him to:
1) tint the car
2) add dom's unit and a backup camera
3) get the comptech short shifter
4) get the a-spec body kit

i heard that acura of escondido carries the last two items for very good prices

Must Do Comptech Short Shifter........

Best possible mod for the 6MT

Woot! NBP

b827

Whats the best place to order it? From my search, it seems like it is fairly straight forward... Does it affect the warranty?

You better be going to Best Window Tinting in Tustin for those tints

snax

BTW... How much is your neighbor, across the street, asking for that sweet Winnebago?

b827

How much do they charge? Its a drive, but I dont think my price can be beaten.

I have no idea, believe it or not that house has been vacant for almost a year and a few days ago somone parked that in the driveway...

$160 with moleskins for 7 windows. If your price beats that you must be sleeping with the installer lol

b827

Thats not bad. Nah haha Im friends with a guy who tints cars at his work at night after they are closed. But he was going to do 100 W/out moleskins, so it may be worth the drive up there. I am going to put 5%on all of the windows, and i wanted to put light on the windsheld, because I have heard that the tint strip doesn't look good on our cars. Any suggestions?

lembowski

iTrader: (1)

Well my first suggestion would be not to get 5% on the car. Not only is that really asking for a ticket in Cali, its right next to impossible to see out on at night. And if your buddy was a good installer, he would know that TL's require a moleskin type product to protect from scratches I think it would be worth it for you to go up there.

b827

What do you think about the strips, or light on the windshield? What will look better?
You have the info for best window tinting?

MoHaWk2003

i would either order it through acura of escondido on ebay or shoot excelerate a pm since he is an authorized dealer

b827

Yeah, I think I am just going to go with acura of escondido, its only 35 min from my house anyway...they should ship fast. As far as the warranty is concerned, has anyone run into any issues?

MoHaWk2003

i don't think the warranty will be effected because most of the comptech parts are bolt-ons and have a 2 year warranty. furthermore, if you get an authorized dealership to install it, i'm sure the acura warranty will still be upheld.

where in san diego are you located? my parents are in chula vista

b827 you can get Acura of Escondido to install the short shifter. If you want Acura's warranty to stand you have to have the work done by an authorized dealer. AofE's nstall prices are actually very good for a dealer. Out of curiosity I asked how much they charge to install the comptech swaybar and they said $50, where Cush wanted $145

b827

Yeah I ordered the SS and I am going to order the RSB, and just have acura of Escondido install them both at the same time, while they also fix my RATTLE on the rear speaker deck!!
Thanks again for the suggestions!

We actually have an installer that does alot of work for us guys down here in San Diego. He has unbelievable prices! Charged me $20 to install the sway bar. I'm sure you could get both of those installed by him for the price of one install from AofE. This guys family owns a Honda Dealership here where I purchased my car. he has done mulitple jobs for me and others in the area. PM me if you would like contact info for him.
