...until i get colts to paint his car matte black.
yeah but remember when I started building the car it was about JDM OEM and just that. I dont want to start removing JDM OEM parts for after market parts. I already lost two so that I could design my engine bay theme. I still want to take that award once with the car before doing something like getting rid of the rear seats.
He's busy sitting on ass! I go by there Saturday, a perfect day to work, and he's just lounging around! 
I will say, the car looks good, though; it's coming along very nicely. The pics of the engine don't do his handiwork justice.
Eric - about those taillights...I started watching the second game yesterday, and...
...I almost finished them last night. I ran out of epoxy
. I knew I wouldn't have enough, but I wasn't able to get any Saturday. One is 99.5% done, and the other is 95% done. They should be finished sometime this week, with a Saturday install. Now, where are my tires?...So you better get on it Jack!

I haven't seen one new TL on the road. I did see a truck load of them with some accords but that doesn't count. Whenever you get the diagram, give me a call.

^^I offered this guy two used toyo proxes 4's for FREE this past saturday! But I told him he had to install his tailights and reinstall the devotions within the week. If he actually gets the tailights installed, then i'll give him the two tires.
...So you better get on it Jack!
...So you better get on it Jack!
...that's right, I didn't play my game to get them knocked out (withdrawal is really peaking). I'll be installing them this weekend...that's one week...where are my tires? If you were going to be here this weekend, you could see the greatness that will be my taillights. You and Ross both miss out.I also see it's kind of out there
. Does she know yet?On a side note, since seeing a new TL is up for discussion, I have yet to see one. Then again, I've only seen a couple of new TSX's. You guys have to remember, I live in the wrong part of town for things like this. I drive around my area, and I'm one of a handful of TL's...I drive around where my parents and/or you guys live, and I see tons of them.

It's all your fault .
Huh. I'm still holding out hope. Then again, I've seen enough PS's with painted grilles, wheels, kits, etc. that I know what it can be...kind of like the headlights/taillights I've had in my head for three years. I see opportunities, not problems.

I'm scared!! I hope they will work. If they don't mount right up, i'll go the length to make them fit, whether it be spacers and/or rolling/pulling the fenders.
The project mu calipers allow more clearance than the brembos, and right now the brembos are still on the 6mt. I had originally placed the order for 19x9.5 et 35/36, but they sent 43s. He said that Rays Engineering gets the specs for the car and then decides if it will work or not. So i'm holding my faith in their hands.
You seem like a funny guy in person haha. I've got two other pics that the owner of the shop sent me. I haven't seen them in person yet. I'm excite!
I found that thread last night and he PMed me his number, so ill just relay that to my brother. It turned out that some other photographer was in the process of running a shoot of his s2000 last night! Hopefully he'll have the pics from the shoot up by tonight,...Aaron said his dick was hard from looking at the quality of the pics on the camera screen, so we'll see!

I think with the 09 TL, the base trim looks awful. But if you do stuff to the car it widens the gap really far from being dull to looking awesome.
Basically what i think im trying to say is, is that the 04-08 TL in base trim looks fine and dandy from the factory. I was studying this phenomenon the other day at bojangles as i had parked beside an oem anthracite. The anthracite just looked fine the way it was. Anything that could have been done to the car is just bogus.
With the base trim 09 TL, not so much. A host of things need to be done to make it look fine and dandy. But the potential is there, i just know it.

^Ah, I get it, and I agree with you regarding the 3G. As I said, I still haven't seen a 4G in person, but I have my doubts that I'll like it "from the factory". However, it does have potential. November 22 I'll know for sure.

I hope you don't mind me posting a couple of pics of your ride being transformed.
The tow hook makes a nice beer holder
The sad pictures of the auto being taken apart....
So sad....
Is the Auto back together yet?

I went up to northern VA twice this past year son! Where were you at?!
...and you know I just remembered...damnit.. I went to Hendrick Acura earlier today to get the wiring schematic pages and completely forgot. I have to go back anyways to get the broken bracket that the sway bar end link hooks up to, and a push start button.

When Ross took this picture I was the maddest i've ever been in a car. Commute from Charlotte to Durham took 3hrs and 15 minutes. EPIC FAIL TRIP.
That's it for now. I might, just might, run a quick photoshoot tomorrow. Weather is supposed to be phenomenal yet again.
