100% Smoked RonJon TL - Bodykit and 3-Piece Devotions

My labor of love, my 2004 Acura 6MT/ Navi TL. The finaly result, worth the wait, pics do not do this car justice. The quality of the 3-Piece Devotions is top notch. With the combination of the kit and wheels this car is truly an eye catcher. It has been turning heads everywhere I go.

Details:
2004 Acura TL Navi/6MT w/Wing Spoiler
Antracite Exterior/Ebony Interior
30% Tint
Comptech Lowering Springs
Ingalls Rear Camber Kit
RonJon Aerodynamic Kit
19" 3-Piece RonJon Devotions, Black Faced/Polished lip (1.5" Lip in front, 2.5" Lip in rear)
2005 Acura RL Anthracite centercaps from the A-Spec (18" wheels)
Falken Azenis ST-115 tires, 245/35/19
Ultimate Pedals Aluminum Pedals
Rockblocker smoked taillights, sidemarkers and headlights (turn signal portion only)
White LED Dome lights, Blue LED door courtesy lights
Escort 8500 X50 Blue Hardwired

More mods to come next summer

How did you get the Devotions? I thought they were out of production?

really well done.... i love the wheels and the kit...

I would have gone with the black mesh to complete the smoked look, although it would have looked more stock. Definently need to get your headlights professionally smoked from the inside, the film just isnt cutting it on the car, everything looks super professional, and the headlights just look incomplete.

Exhaust looks fine, you dont even need to touch it. But to be honest I think it looks super clean, I would have gone decklid and a couple other differences, but your car is unique and we all love it Great job

Also what's up with the centercaps, RL caps, explain what is up with those.

Wow, nice... I bet no one's gonna call your TL a family sedan! haha, it almost looks initimidating.

I think the mesh grille only look good on the silver and anthracite, at least in the pics.

Better make sure your insurance covers aftermarket parts!

Almost? That thing looks mean

Nice job cTLgo, paint match looks to be pretty good at least in the front. Also, nice phone, same as mine. Normally I'm not a big AM fan, but yours looks really good, enjoy it

Car looks great. Get 2 wheel spacers (3-5 mm) for the rear tires.

Sweet fuckin ride man... My opinion is that if youre gonna go balls out on your car (which you have) I would just get the entire care repainted in AM, this way the entire car matches. For some reason, your color difference between the car and the kit look really off. Either way, sweet car.

I also think the mesh should be painted black, it will match your rims and tailights

Yeah I thought about the black mesh, but since the car has silver trim, I figured I'd go with silver to accent that, maybe later down the line I can replace or paint the mesh, but the silver definetly gives it a more aftermarket look. As for the headlights, yeah I could get them tinted or cleared from the inside, I just haven't had the resources to do that, maybe next round of mods. As for the RL caps, I wanted anthracite caps since the car itself it anthracite, the contrast looks great in person on the wheel itself.

spacers? why? no need for that.

Honestly, I notice no difference, ride quality has barely changed if anything.

The rear is the only thing that is slightly off, and its subtle, in the pics some of the darkness is created by angle., not as noticeable in person. I actually thought that eventually I will repaint the car Lexus' Flint Mica, its like a darker version of Anthracite, but thats a while down the line, then this car will be unique for sure.

Whoever has the opportunity, get these wheels, they are absolutely amazing. Just going out last night, stopped at a light in the city, so many stares, so many people saying, WOW look at those wheels! Great job Ron. Let me know how you want me to take a picture and I can take care of it, these were just quick snaps, I can certainly take better ones for you.

Seriously, a Hooked up TL is such a sight, I mean, 350Z' are a dime a dozen. Not to knock them or anything, but the TL is a great looking vehicle in stock form, once its enhanced, its gorgeous. Now if they could only make in in RWD or AWD and bump up the HP. Maybe an electrical assisted motor to keep fuel economy within reason.

Very nice. Why did you go with black rims? I wonder how it would look if you color matched the rims to your car. Are those polished lips? When ron posted pics a few days ago of those black rims, the pics looked like they were mirror polished. I think it woulda looked awesome with the mirror polished lips. Either way, still looks nice. Good job...
