Still haven't got an answer to my question...

 

sorry dude, the other guys posts again cluttered the thread...

call tim... he should be able to get you a price on one painted the Anth Met... he has an inhouse body shop, they do great work... couple members have left great reviews on his paint matching ability

as far as a price... that is something you have to discuss with him... figure $260 for the lip plus paint and you might be able to work out a shipped price for a reasonable amount...

 

the vendors here are authorized dealers for many of the bbk kits available... the auto and 6speed kit is the same part numbers from what I was able to pull up so I guess you leave out the adapter

same kit for the 7th gen accord...

 

very funny you asked... here is the deal... when you remove ur automatic shift knob you have to find out what the thread pitch is... there are 2 possible one's, eric didnt remember which one he purchased... he is the only other guy I know who swapped a 6speed shift knob on an auto...

for the shift boot... get in touch with tim... cuz the acura estore shows the following

BOOT, PANEL *NH167L* $75.13 Dealer Price... price is a little high if you ask me

 

oh geez forgot the most important the part # on the boot rofl - 77304-SEP-A01ZB

 

i wanna know the answer to this to.. i didnt see if u answerd this question or not..

 

sorry forgot to answer this question, I don't see why not.. but you might have to swap out the entire thing... it would be simpler to just get a cheap $50 256gb or 512mb mp3 player and get one of those units sold by the vendors so you can plug it right in...

 

yah but then you have all those wires around where u have to plug in the mp3 player.. i want a headunit that plays mp3s on a disc..

so can you find out if they are compatible?

I also want to know if the non navi screens from an 07+ will work on an 04. Because they have the blue screen..

(if I go to the junkyard and find a newer TL i just want to make sure all this stuff works before buying it)

I've seen the accord guys put a blue film behind the display to change the color of the numbers without having to change the bulbs or the display unit

As for the radio unit, the parts numbers on the actual units are almost Identical... and all of the other parts are identical

Item needed to be verified for fitment- So I was talking to some members about a torque converter for my car but could not find one for this car specifically. So if its possible, can you tell me which is the best for my car and also post a link for the place to purchase it from? I just want to try to close the gap between the auto and manual TL in a drag race from a dead stop. Thanks again.

Hey I gotta quick question for ya. I'm pretty sure the Chrome "V" trim on the grill of the 07/08 won't fit an 04-06 correct? My question is what are my options for finding an 04-06 V-trim that is chrome. I don't wanna spend the $200 to have mine chrome plated. Do you know of any website or vendor who sells one that would fit. If you check out rockauto.com they list the trim for $20 and the picture shows a chrome molding but im hesitant to try it as that is probably a stock photo and not what I may actually receive.

 

how bout you get real creative with a bottle of krylon metallic paint... it is the cheapest alternative and looks damn near identical if you know how to paint...
http://www.krylon.com/products/categories/metallics/

 

forgot the most important part if you prep it... it will look the same

 

That paint will most likely flake^

 

not if done correctly... they have paint for exterior use... but that was an easy 5 dollar fix...
if you sand it down and use bulldog adhesive promoter with some other metallic paint... ie... from a reputable auto paint supplier it will be fine, clear coats are the big thing...

 

Idk, I would rather get it actually dipped in chrome, the metallic/reflective paints are almost always thin and crispy. I wouldn't trust it.

 

I got something for you again...it's on the bottom of this thread...

Thanks for the help!

Item you would like fitment verified:
I have the stock 17s right now with super crappy Sunny tires. I'm getting annoyed by how noisy they are so I want to get new tires. However, I'm also planning on getting new rims (RonJon Legend GTs 18" 45mm offset). Is there a good all season tire out there that I will be able to use on both sets of wheels?

Trim: Automatic with navi
Item you would like fitment verified: 07-08 OEM MP3 cd player for my 05

Ok so I know you have already touched on the subject, but I just want a complete verification because my car has navi, which works in conjunction with the factory radio. Would it still work if, for example, I purchased an 07-08 OEM MP3 player off ebay or something/somewhere and replaced the original unit and mated the new one to my navi unit? Obviously with my car being an 05 and the MP3 players not being introduced until 07-08, this would seemingly present a problem.

Trim- TL 5AT
Item needed to be verified for fitment- (THANK YOU STILLHERE)...currently hopped up on some cold medicine so not very...uh functional atm....anyway could you link me the thread or just tell me what bulbs to get to replace my inner foglights to bright white or blue to match the Phillips 81522+ bulbs?; and for the turn signal i just get the silver painted amber blinking bulbs from silverbulbs.com right?

sorry stillhere, just taking advangtage of the system...currently hopped up on cyclobenzaprine...so i'm F-ed up atm... thanks in advanced!

 

well you can't run the same tires on 17s and 18s... so my guess is get a set of winter tires for your stock 17s and put some falken 452s on ur legend gt

245/45-17 for the stocks
245/40-18 for the gt

 

it all depends on what the harness behind the radio looks like... my guess is the harness is the same

but just so you know it really isn't an mp3 player, it is a dvd audio player which plays audio off dvd's with the mp3/wma stored on there... I never figured out how to burn nor care much for it since I have an ipod... cd's = absolete

 

245/40-18... if you want to run stretch you can also run the 235/40-18 factory specs...

this wheel fits no problem... if you have factory brembos you need a 3mm-5mm spacer

Item you would like fitment verified: What tire pressure setup would you recommend for 245/40/18 tires? I've searched and a bunch of people are running different setups with varying results. WWSD? (What would stillhere do?)

 

I run 35 front 34 rear... but I have the progress rear sway bar... so if you don't have the progress rear sway bar I would lower it to 33

 

turn signal for 04 tl - 7443
fog light for 04 tl - 9006

 

holy shit i must've been tripping i knew the types for those lights....LOL jesus christ

 

thanks ANYWAY stillhere!!!

 

Damn those FK-452s are $130/tire. Are Falkens much better than say Toyo Proxes 4 or Sumitomo All seasons (dunno the model number)?

 

452 are luxury summer tire... and I believe they are made in japan... ... toyo proxes 4 and goodyear eagle f1 are premium all season tires... but me... I rock falken 912

 

Nice. The 912s are all season AND cheaper. I will look into those and the Toyo's. Thanks! No opinions on Sumitomos? I'm looking to spend $100/tire...

Anyway, thanks for the information. This thread will be very useful to me within the next month or so. Planning on dropping $3-4K into my TL.
