Hi members of azine, my name is Dillon and this is my 2007 Acura TL that i got for my 16th birthday. i know i am very lucky to have such a nice car for my first. i am in love with all my car. i treat it like my baby. i hand wash it once a week. i made a thread not to long ago showing my new wheels but i have decided to start a progress thread.

Here are pics the day i picked it up(excuse my cell quality photos)








Here is my with fresh 25% tint on all windows and 15% on back window





The next mod was a Fujita CAI(my favorite mod so far sounds really good)





Then someone offered me a trade for their 04-06 stock wheels which i liked those a lot more













Next little mod was painted brake calipers red



Next mod was the infamous plastidip grill



Alright now this is the best mod new wheels! Bremmer Kraft Br09 18x8 +45 offest







Alright and now im gonna put some pictures up of my brother 2004 mustang gt supercharged and my dad mercedes s550 4matic on 20 inch Mandrus wheels













The mustang gt is in amazing condition for being a 2004. its my brother and I's project car we have done all the work besides the tune. it has 55,000 miles on it and it makes 400hp and 420ft pounds of torque. its a good street car. my brother also just got his 2013 ford focus st with st3 package so i will post up pics of that. i am also getting a stereo system done tomorrow so will update with that.

Thanks for looking! feel free to comment

nice progress so far!

Whats next?

07badasstl

well the stereo will be next. but after that my plans are to get 15mm spacers up front and 20mm spacers rear. i might also install these eibach pro kit springs i have sitting in my room. the stereo system i will be getting is a jl audio w7 8 inch in a ported box, jl audio 500/1 amp, an then speakers which i dont know what the speakers are going to be

Drop it too, Dillon.


Everything looks good so far, especially the calipers.

07badasstl

i want to drop it! i have eibach pro kit springs in my room but i want more than a 1 inch drop im thinking maybe tien s tech springs would be perfect for me because im in high school and i go over speed bumps every day. i also have friends in my backseats so the rear will lower with people in the car.

What do you guys think should i install the eibach pro kit to see if i like it or just save my money and get tien s techs or maybe coils?

Looking good Dillon! Nice progress.

Don't waste your money with springs, just get coilovers and do it right the first time

^^^coming from the guy with s techs already. I had them too, and they give a nice drop. But he's right, coils are the way to go. Keep an eye on the black market and you should be able to find some.

Besides that, nice cars!

Why you gotta call me out?!?!

AcuraTl06spd

^^^^ He is right Tyler! Haha! Shoot i am sitting on teins because of you! I want more of a drop but hey teins are better than stock in my opinion! Good luck with the car and the wheels look good!

07badasstl

thanks for all the comments guys! i really want to get coils as well, but being a high school student its hard to get that kind of money! i also want to get modded headlights later down the line and of course aspec kit but thats going to be awhile. CLtotheTL32 your car is incredible looking by the way, im jealous of your gunmetal aspec wheels!

07badasstl

alright here are some more pics of my car cleaned up after the recent little snow storm in Kansas!





i couldnt find a picture from when i debadged my car but i found one!

The official date hasn't been announced but it's in mid-June. It's usually at Jay Wolfe Acura; not sure if that's close to you or not.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

I usually try to schedule this the first weekend of June, to avoid college graduations, etc....


Tyler is right though-Jay Wolfe Acura in Kansas City is where we hold the meet. Where in Kansas are you?

MGoddard06TL

Dang car looks prime. What did you use to get your Acura bar black in the grill?

07badasstl

i used plastidip and Jay Wolfe Acura just so happens to be less than 5 miles from my house! so i will definatly be at the meet

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

07badasstl

Very nice TL love that color!! One of my favorites available on a 3G and would have been cool to offer on the Type S. I like how you have kept the car clean and simple and haven't done any of the goofy things like off enter mounted front plate, window visors, purple lugnuts, lol that kinda shit. Keep it up, car looks awesome.
