Very nice looking TL!!! where you get your headlight done (ur turn signals)?

erok72

ayethetiense

ayethetiense

damn... my badd.... i posted the same pic twice by accident. stupid me.... i was in a hurry for a friends graduation dinner.... here is the pic that was supposed to be there....

ASP

that last photo rocks.

looks great, did you paint your grille? I'm thinking of making every part that is chrome to black..

ayethetiense

thanks... i love those shots that are just off the ground, you can see the texture of the floor nicely... here is another one i took.... i actually have this setup as my background on my comp at work. it looks better when its the whole screen in high res. and the color in the sky is just awesome

TLyoung'un

holy shiet your car is hot!
mad props... maybe i'll get the courage to do the diy clears someday...

Lokius

the headlights fit well, i'm not a fan of just the front spoiler with the splash guards, but it doesnt look to bad. I smoked all my headlights, so i dont think the lower grille's will fit well with the black contrast i want, but they work well with the clear headlights...

good job on it

I went to the website to check em out...they are listed as 18x7.5??? OR did you get a custom width? I think they look great, but I think your wheels are too narrow.

ayethetiense

yes yes yes, unfortunately, thats the widest ADRs come in....

but my tire is 235, same as stock. thats the biggest you can go on a 7.5 width. some people with 8 and 8.5 still use 235 tires....

the most that ive lost is about 3mm with the offset and tire combination. not bad at all. it handles a lot better then the stock tires too.

Lokius

like everything except the stats of the wheels, they were a great deal though i hope

ayethetiense

850 total with tires... not bad......

Lokius

very very good

ASP

nice deal. some pay that much for one wheel. <insert crazy look emoticon here>

blueguava

Where'd you get that deal? In the OC? They package other ADR wheels with tires, yes?

srhewes

Man, you got a steep driveway!!!

ayethetiense

hahah are you being serious? its just the angle of the shot. fills more of the picture that way

icecrepas

Nav mod? Where'd you hunt that down? O_o

ayethetiense

its all over the place. do a search buddy. its actually for a TSX, some 18 yr old figured out how to make it so that instead of the regular acura startup image, you can put in your own picture, whatever you want. as long as its within the certain limits, it loads just the same way, but if its too big, it lags and it takes awhile to compress the image to show it. so be sure it meets the byte requirements to work properly. i beleive that there are already a good amount of screens that were custom made and shared. the one on mine is one that i made myself. i think i have a pic of it somewhere

found it!

LOLOLOL SORRY i just moved homes this weekend ... more like yesterday lol
now I'm free to go for the photo shoot! I'll talk it over with sixsixfour again to schedule something

ayethetiense

just a fyi, im having surgery done on the 25th of this month and i'll be on crutches for about 3 weeks. so no good during that time period

Slammed_JDM

whats the point in upgrading to 18"s when the tl comes with 17"s

darksom1

+1

ayethetiense

because it looks different then stock.
didnt want to change the calibration of the speedometer.
wanted thick enough tires and not have to worry about rim damage due to tiny tires.
wanted to keep the cirumference the same.
got a good deal and couldnt pass it up.

any more questions?

Slammed_JDM

To each his own man.

WILL 235-35-19 ride alot harder then 235-45-17 07 TL-S. This 07 TL-S already rides quite hard. I know hard. I had an older WS6 Firebird with 245-45-16" with Koni gas-adjust shocks on maximum. Handled great, but rode like a dump truck. DON'T want that again.

robbie82

The man has good reasoning....

triton3k

definately drop it.

Looks good btw.

ayethetiense

thanks, but slammedjdm and i have always bumped heads... he feels the need for 20s and i don't. simple as that. less rotational weight equals better gas mileage and better speed.

im not gona talk ish, no need for that. you can express yourself and carry your image in anyway you want, after all, to each his own right...

thanks. i did drop it awhile back. this thread is kinda old. here is a newer, but still pretty old pic. i'll get some more updated (and higher quality) pics when me and a couple of guys can get together and do a photoshoot.
