'04 ssm TL

Long story short... My brother had this TL and ran it low on oil, intstead of fixing it he went and got himself an 07 Corvette and I reap the benefits of getting a TL handed down to me

I got tried of trying to steal my civic so I sold it and used the money to put a new engine in the TL. So in all reality i paid 2,000 dollars for the TL. Had it for a couple months now and now the transmission is starting to slip.

Went from this:



To This:




Current mods:
- Tein SS Coilovers
- 20' KMC whatever they are called rims

Future Mods:
- 6spd Transmission Conversion
- 07-08 Front Bumper Conversion w/ fogs
- 07-08 Rear Bumper Conversion
- 07-08 Side Mirrors
- Type-S Tail Lights
- Type-S Smoked Rear Side Markers
- Rotora BBK
- A-Spec Lip Kit
- Lip Deck Spoiler

Parts On Deck:
- OEM Deck Lip (Brand New) = $70.99
- OEM Mug Guards = $51.00
- OEM 07 Base Front Bumper = $170.00
- OEM 07 Driver Side Mirror = $70.00
- New Radiator = $142.52
- New Hood Lifts = $35.90

Apparently I can not edit the original post..

Here's the TL

I can see all three sets of pics fine?

I actually like those rims. It's not easy to pull of 20's on a TL.

And in before someone suggest the Aspec kit.

Thanks for the comments and I like the wheels too but the fronts are bent which cause the steering wheel to shake.

I'm leaning towards getting some Work VS-XX or something along that line

I keep seeing Base TL's without Aspec Kits. I think they should have come standard...

So, I decided to install the factory navigation system into my TL and yesterday when I was searching for parts. I found a guy that was parting out an 04 TL w/ Navi. I hopped in my car and drove 2 hours south and helped him pull out the parts I needed out of a donor TL he purchased to repair another TL he had that rolled over.

Initially, I purchased a 04 Navi Screen and radio 3 days ago and it came with the pigtails, But couldn't pass up these parts.. Paid a total of $1,190

Navi Parts
- Two 04 Navi Screens
- Two GPS Antenna
- Two DVD Drive Brackets
- Two Navi Guide Switch
- 6 Disc Radio (no code, FML)
- Information Display Screen
- Complete Floor Harness
- Complete Dash Board Harness
- Complete Roof Harness
- Trunk Liner
- Orange Disc
- Pioneer XM Radio Module





...& The day gets better, Since it took us forever to pull the parts, instead of driving back to Orlando, I drove to my fathers house in Ft. Lauderdale and found my old skateboard (That I thought someone stole, about a year ago).. && When I got back to orlando, the people at Tippmann came through and sent me the part i needed to fix my marker..

The car looks great though! One of the nicest rims I have seen on a TL!
