Hey everyone this is my first post on acurazine. I recently got a 2005 DGP TL and have started personalizing it. I dont have much done but here are some pics iv'e taken along the way.

The day i bought it










35% tint and wing spoiler added










M3 style roof spoiler








Type S tails installed






Some recent pics



















I know i have only begun and have a ton of work do.


Future list of mods include
  • Drop
  • Charcoal or gunmetal rims
  • Halo headlights(Possibly)
  • Low profile tires
  • Exhaust (comptech)
  • A-Spec body kit

Not a bad start. I'd get rid of the black emblem on the front, it makes it look like there's a hole there.

Nice progress! You don't see many modded DGP TLs

Like mentioned before, the Monster sticker needs to go. You are advertising for them and not getting anything for it

Besides that, clean those exhaust tips and you're good to go!

DUDE. Seriously??!? I have the same sticker and roof spoiler.



I don't mind the monster sticker. I do think yours is a little oversized though lol. And sorry but I think you should have gone with smaller lip spoiler rather than the "wing."

You must be his friend. I'm assuming you were telling him how he was going to get criticized or expect to get criticized.

Here on AcuraZine we like to see cars tastefully modded. We don't like seeing "ILLEST" stickers or any other wack stickers you would see on a scion or beat up honda. People are going to give you suggestions on what you should and shouldn't do. What you decide to do is truly up to you, but after you have been on AcuraZine for 6+ months you will start to notice the kinds of mods that are accepted as nice and what mods are seen as "cheap" and "immature/teenager like"

You were in this boat when you first joined AcuraZine. Asking about 'Spring Booster' mod and than replying with

Hahahahahaha veggie monster ALL I got to say is NIGHT NIGHT NI@@A I will rock ur tl mines to fast haha and yes its real there is a whole thread on it in Acurazine
You think your cool cause your a 17 year old in a TL huh. "I will rock ur tl mines to fast" rofl OK. You fall into the cocky teenage driving a nice car category already. Seeing how a nice car like the TL is becoming readily available for young kids like you make me cringe. What's once was a nice car is gonna turn into the new honda civic or scion

Generally the younger crowd, like you, tend to throw unnecessary modifications on a beautiful once expensive car like the TL just because you are young and think its "COOL". Sometimes it just gets out of hand. The only young guy that I have seen that has hands-down one of the cleanest modded TLs for a 17-18 year old is Dtownhakuzo. Search him up. Take some notes.

I'm not age discriminating you. There are also people that are well older than you, but still don't seem to get the picture on what is tastefully modded and what is sloppy modded.

You haven't been here long enough for me to judge you, but you seem like your leaning towards the stereotypical "teenage mod" spectrum.

All I ask of you is don't be like this guy






But I'm pretty sure you're thinking "WOW THATS SICK!!!!!!"

SMH

Sad part is, that guy is about twice your age. Acurazine scared him away, he doesn't even post pictures of his car at all anymore

LOL nick. I got my TL when I was 19 and it was my third car I bought. I'm not made of money but you're not the first with a TL at your age. Stop acting like your the shit.

Your car has potential but little things here and there are holding it back. You post pictures and want feedback but when we don't say what you want to hear, you get butt hurt. Grow up.

Dude chill out... No one is going to be blowing anyone. We only toss salads around here.

BTW I got my TL when I was barely 16 years old and I'm pretty sure it looks better than yours .

Sounds like we need a Teenage TL Squad thread...or not.

Car looks good, OP. The Acura plate sideways in the windshield is a little strange though.

sticker phases dont last long.. give em few more months or a year. well for me at least. I had stickers on my car but after a while, i grew out of that phase. I only rock the acurazine.com sticker now much more classy imo

anyways, you're off to a good start eric!
