Nicest interior and stereo layout hands down! Great job. Looks like you have enough wood on the steering wheel to start a small fire.

your ride is looking really good. why didn't you get the wood shift knob that matches the wood on the steering wheel?

trunk candy ftw.

Looking sexy as hell, as always. Definitely the hottest TL I've seen.

Damn Rodney that is some straight dedication. But I'm sure you are very pleased how it all looks. I've seen suade wrapped on numerous things before years ago, everything was wrapped quite impressively I might add. But damn dude interior and trunk is by far the sickest I have ever seen on here. Very nice job!

meh, and you wonder why you be winning them car shindiggs, no pics of her with the stockers... shit probably sits like its on bags with the negative camber

dude seriously your car is a masterpiece hands down...

your car's like looking at a fine ass chick bending over and all you see labia majora

ps. the only thing she's missing is a rear rotoroa 4pot

Thanks made...
STeering wheel was one of the nicest Acura Accessories I've ever purchased... biggest impact to the interior...

I didn't do it myself... I got a professional to do it... there's a lot of technique and skill involved specially when you come to a corner... I guess practice is key...

trunk candy ftw.
I purchased the shift knob from Acura assuming it will match... but it didn't and non in their inventory matched... I might get it custom done to match perfectly...

Suede wasn't too expensive... but I guess Price is relative to circumstance...

The stockies were looking crazy for about a week... but I got my WINTER ALIGNMENT DONE.... fixed all the Camber...

I'm thinking about the rear kit... but spend $1600 for a just for looks brake kit... Plus I'll lose alot of lippage on wheel selection...

Thanks man...

I don't usually show-off my car... but you could have seen it since April~May '08... that's when it was completed and rolling around the city and staging up at various Shows...

I might consider showing off the car once I'm done with my '09 Season Setup... but that will spoil the surprise at shows I'm planning on attending... There will be drastic changes...

Wheels are SOLD...

more like 45 camels

i didn't know they had perforated suede. i think that's better by using that since the seats are perforated too.

the system layout is clean. i hate to be near your car when you have the music on. :deaf:

Wow your are is none other then gorgeous. Great choice on the subs too! I have a 12" Type-X in my TL, but it has a broken voice coil , so I got my old 12" Type-R in there now. I am pretty much speechless looking at these pics. Great job!

Thanks for the comment... ... I just tried something a little different with the perforated suede... came out looking good in my opinion...

We tuned the system to sound like a studio... very clear and balanced... you barely hear the music outside the car... unless I really push it....

Pics don't do it justice... Thanks for the kind words...

I blew a voice coil on one of the subs already... and got it replaced under warranty... looks like a clipping problem... but I would have thought that both subs would have suffered the same fate...

That's pretty slick right there nephew...pretty slick indeed! Looking real boss!

That suede got me thinking before when someone told me about it (Trippin I think)...I'm thinking about what it might look like NBP-style for real now. Probably not as good as that because of the contrast you have, but I wonder if it would be enough of an improvement to do it...what do you think?

As always...do work son...

Holy sh!t... My Boy Ray is back and it's daytime... I guess nothing really going on in the Rambling Section this early in the Morning...

I think you should do a little suede in the interior... Changes up the whole pimp game... believe me playa... ... Charcoal Grey/Gray would look ILL with Ebony...
