Damn that looks great! Gotta love A-Spec.
It looks like the license plate bracket has really torn up your bumper

CLtotheTL32,thanks. The first owner did a number on both the bumper and the old plate bracket(replaced that one).

Your car is coming together nicely..do u mind me asking how do u remove the engine cover.I know there are 2 clips that need to be turned in order to loosen the cover.I did that and the cover got loose but not coming off.Is it attached someplace else or it just needs to be pulled up hard??Thanks
#536
04WDPSeDaN,thank you.The first owner did a nice number on that bumper.
swoosh and Steven Bell already love that spoiler.Looks good sitting in my living room....lol.
BuLtL00,thank you sir.That cover has the 2 plastic screws in the front,once you loosen those, grab the cover with both hands (in the back portion) and pull/wiggle the cover up.It will come of.Up movement is the key.Dont worry it wont break that easy. Good luck.

I like turtles
@endless, is that the ebay roof spoiler? if so I suggest removing the tape it comes with and replacing it with something stronger. And c'mon, you know we all wanna see that thing on your car, lets go!!!!
If you can do front lip in this cold weather you sure can do a roof spoiler

Dude, your TL doesn't look too bad/snowed in. I'm just wondering how you'll get it back on the streets? I know that plows probably barricaded you in.
#550
Steven Bell,yeah it wasnt that bad.I had to shovel my way out.I hate this weather.
For next oil change:Got a oil pan in order (part # 11200-rye-a00) + honda ULTRA FLANGE II SEALANT ,Paid $113.00 shipped for both.Also got the usual genuine honda oil filter.
Will also be trying the 0w20 mobil 1 oil.
Stay tuned.

One of my license plate bulbs went out,so i desided to get dirty.
While i was there i fixed the threads on my license plate(all 4,last owner jammed some weird screws in it).Also changed both reverse light bulbs and must say these bulbs i put in rock, much brighter.

Steven Bell,thank you sir.
Oil pan gasket job:
Before :
![](http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j409/paul0079/oil4_zpsefa20d6c.png?t=1361329975)
The bottom of the subframe ,oil pan and y-pipe covered in oil.
Bottom end with no pan on.
![](http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j409/paul0079/oil3_zps11c2f337.png?t=1361330015)
Not that bad for a car with 141k.
New pan on Side view...
![](http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j409/paul0079/oil2_zpsbaa7fad2.png?t=1361330053)
As the picture shows, removing your crank pulley will help you reach those bolts.
![](http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j409/paul0079/oil1_zps2adc8f92.png?t=1361330087)
The leak on the old pan exposed....NASTY
Not that much sludge found on the bottom/inside of the pan.Normal for a vehicle with these miles.
![](http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j409/paul0079/oil_zpsb60229fb.png?t=1361330258)
