I got all set to do this mod and the damn "Hot Tires" paint pen I bought was dried out. It was the last one in stock.. oh well gotta keep searching for another one. I'm pissed because it took me almost a month to find it.

 

Did this today w/ a white tire paint pen I got from Ebay for 8 bucks shipped.

I think it came out pretty good. These mats need a little color to stand out.

 

I see a fad coming up!!!! I think im gonna do it tooooooo lol!!!

 

So how are these wearing? Anybody cracking, etc? Let us know if the acryllics vs the enamel are holding up

 

Mine look like the day I did them. Just as bright red as ever.

 

^ What he said. I wasn't sure how they would turn out or wear over time. I have to say +1 to <<se7en>> for this unique mod. I'm very happy with the Hot Tires pen. This is probably the cheapest mod i've ever done


Thanks for bringing this thread back to life, this reminds me I have to do my Trunk Tray now too cause I think it has "TL" somewhere on it

 

That is a really creative idea. I think they should put that in all of their TL-S'. You might be able to make some money off this idea if you sent it to Acura.

 

I'd be happy to just get my damn rear deck and center channel speaker to stop rattling...

 

that does look nice, I wonder if how mine would look If I painted the TL black? (I have the camel ones)

 

I think it would look sweet. Go get yourself a Hot-Tires paint pen and give it shot. This is a very easy but visual rewarding mod. I've also heard it adds about 20HP but I have not been able to confirm this yet.

 

Evader 20 hp to wheels 45 to crank.. I was able to take is350's with this mod alone.

 

Wow, very nice, I like that idea, you're right it does go well with the red accents of the Type-S.

 

with all this stuff with the all-season mats, has anyone though of doing custom carpet mats, silver edges,with interior matched face and the TL logo in bodycolor or maybe blue? And for the Type S have silver with black theme with the TL in red?

 

I can paint...but I don't sew

 

I would estimate mine at about 15HP. If I sanded it down more, I'd probably reach the 20HP some other guys feel.

Still looks fine and it took a beating from softball and golf this summer. If it ever does start looking shitty, its an easy re-sand - re-paint.

 

oh man this is awesome, I am going to order one of those pens and do the all season mats and my tires too....

 

+1 and thanks to the originator.

 

I might have to try it out, adds a bit to the whole brown and black interior.

 

Just a slight modification:

 

Looks really good. Good job!

 

looks great

 

Hey, just noticed you have the billet left foot rest. Was that hard to install, or simply drill a few holes and screw down? I've thought about ordering those off eBay, but I ONLY need the foot rest as I already have the brake and gas pedals.

 

leedogg: Mats look good!

 

they are really easy to install, well, at least the foot rest is. just drill a few very small pilot holes and screw it down. Get it from Supercomputers, he sells them on Acurazine.

leedogg that looks good man.....is that the silver or the white tire paint? I was thinking of doing the silver because I have the same pedals you have from supercomputer

 

Silver. I'm sticking with an interior black on silver color scheme.

 

Thanks leedogg........would you happen to have the item number or the name of the product you used?
I've been searching and the only colors the "Hot Wheels" pens come in are yellow red and white.......
Could I use my Anthracite touch up paint? would that hold on the rubber.......

 

do a search on ebay for tire paint. It's one of those 6.49 things, just specify silver. Your touchup paint was not meant to adhere to rubber. Gunmetal would be a cool color though...a CF overlay would be even cooler..

 

i think the silver one is a bit overboard. hope is just that because any more "painting" of parts, things will get a lil ricey..

 

it's subtle and minimal, and passengers could EASILY think they came like that stock, as the colors match up nicely with the rest of the interior.

 

i think the TL part is fine. the racing stripes gots to go. haha. but its ur car do what you do.

 

Brilliant idea!

Living in so cal don't really have a need for the all season mats but if i have one i'd do the mod today!

 

This is such a good idea/mod that I ordered the all season mats from the group buy at Hondacuraworld. Thanks

 

leedogg.....thanks for the pix....I just put up my order off ebay. I don't have a Type-S, so red TL on the mats for me wouldn't look as good, and white and yellow is no good either.

Thanks Ebay for my silver paint pen....see how long it takes to get to Canada....

 

very creative and it stands up with your blue car

 

how much does this pen go for?

 

The Hot Tires one that I used originally cost, like, 7 bucks.

 

I bought mine from ebay and searched "tire paint pens". This guy sell paint pens for motorcycle tires. Colors include silver, blue, green, white, red and others. They sell for $6.49 plus $2.50 shipping.

 

And the final checkout price to get shipped to Canada was 10.99

 

looks good! props!
