Sup man sorry for the long delay in response! I'll try and get those vids to you whenever i am at my brothers place. JDM5lugHatch has given us some insight into the accord suspension components. It looks like the Neuspeed and GREX strut bars could be an option for us TL guys. Check it out in his thread.

Thanks bro! I enjoyed the comptech exhaust while it was on the car. But once I went with the custom HKS setup I personally think it sounds more agressive. I'm about to upgrade to the larger size Carbon Ti muffler in a few months.

I did a little work on the TL today. Washed her, vacuumed, installed the spoon resevoir covers, cleaned engine bay, installed engine cover, took out the back seat.

Took a few pictures here they are:

Thanks man. Those Spoon covers...i'm not exactly sure what the purpose is! I put them in their for cosmetics. Maybe heat deflection or insulation...not too sure. In other words...thats a good question!

Thanks man. My cousin painted the engine cover to match the car and did an awesome job in my opinion. I can't decide if i wanna leave it white or have someone mold a carbon fiber one.

The purpose of the covers is to soak up any liquids that may come out of the resevoirs. They were designed for race cars. That way it would prevent a possible fire in the engine bay and/or the addition of foreign liquids from falling all over the track. So there is definitely some function behind them.

Hmm... definitely a good idea. Ive seen tons of leaks from those areas in previous vehicles and this would be a good preventive idea.

JDM... I'm learning a lot from you lately...thanks for the explanation about the resevoir covers. I feel better about the purchase.

I've got some more modifications done to the TL...

If anyone is going to the SEMA Intl Auto Salon i'll be there this weekend april 8 and 9...probably wearing a Valvoline Synpower jersey. If you're in the area (philly) you should come out it should be a pretty good show.
