it happened...I have a bad case of the modding fever!!!
Well, it has been almost a year that I have owned my 2004 TL 6MT A-SPEC (a-spec suspension,a-spec kit, a-spec steering wheel, 8.5" a-spec gunmentals, etc...) Before this car, I had a civic, prelude, and s2000 that were all full of mods. The other day I ordered an AEM V2, and will be ordering a comptech exhaust shortly. I am super excited to the V2 on! I can't stop looking for other parts...oh no..this is bad!
What color is your car? I just got aspec wheels for my SSM but havent installed them yet. Would like to get an idea of how they look on an ssm if yours happens to be. If not, pics would still be nice.
Yea, I am not wooried about the install at all. I will reference the diy vidoes, but I have installed plenty of intakes on my cars and friends as well. Now as for the exhaust, that will be a differant story. Once I get it, I will need some help with that bad boy!

It isn't the weather, my friend. This bug knows no season. It just easier to do the mods in Spring/Summer.

I apologize to all for not providing pictures! AEM V2 arrives today!!! Will take lots of pics during install. I also placed my order for the rear roof spoiler!!! I will get on the ball and share everything with all of my fellow acurazine friends!!! I plan on busting out the laptop and following the DIY 3G CAI install video verbatim!!! Any suggestions? Wish me luck!
I just realized that AEM provided the wrong sticker kit with my system. My sticker does not say V2, as I think it is supposed to be for a CAI or short ram setup.

Well thank you, but here is the thing. When I purchased this car, the full A-SPEC was already installed. I actually find it to be a little odd that:
#1 The previous owner was registered to Honda Motor Company listed as "Corporate"
#2 Full complete A-SPEC kit (steering wheel, 18" 8.5" gunmetals, A-SPEC lip kit, A-SPEC deck spoiler, and A-SPEC suspension
#3 Nearly every accessory possible is on this car i.e. colored body molding and colored door edge guards
#4 the rare combination of NAVI and 6MT and all the goodies that accompany the 6MT (Brembos, LSD, larger sways)
#5 the rare combination of NAVI and EBONY
#6 the rare combination of all of these put together to answer the question for me which was, "Can I find the absolute perfect car I want?"
I happened to luck out last year when I found this beauty. I am guessing it was some corporate executive with Honda who drove this thing and I am guessing babied it. It only had 32,000K miles on it when I purchased May of 2009 and the car is a 2004.
These are all only my opinions and I am not even sure if these combos make it "rare". I am just happy its everything I wanted put together in one solid car!

My roof spoiler is en route and scheduled for delivery today! Will post pictures when I install in later this evening! I had ordered one a few weeks ago, and when it came it had a few deficiencies so I sold it to another member. Stay tuned!
