ok its not the best pics... but it will do for now. leaving the HIN car show...




they dont make air runners for 3rd gen. TL's so i just used the ones made for a TSX. all you have to do is cut 4 bolts on the front top hats and add spacers in the back. F*k it took some time to install with work n all but after a week i managed to finish. i'll be posted more pictures later, im pretty faded -__-

hopefully its not raining anymore so i can take more pics, also of the switches, gauges, n the tank, etc... stay posted for more

Looks awsome man. Im working on something simmilar for DUB Show 08.

Wouldnt the accord kit fit way better with less custom work since the TL And Accord share very very similar chasis.

I was thinking the same thing, and the TL and TSX have a bigger weight difference than the Accord and TL. But none the less, looks sick!

If u get accord coilovers or springs 03 sedan + the suspension will bolt right on. So i was thinking the same with this. lol.

So how much was the kit?

the Kit is over $4K... I remember when Revision (Rev-01) was selling it about a year ago for about $2.5K.... I should have jumped on it then... 'Ol well... when you snooze you lose...

Great Work...

He's probably selling the ones that are on his car... .... so PM him for more information...

Since he's on Air now... he's probably going real aggressive on the offsets next set...

Really? I would expect him to go higher on the offset so it doesnt rub when he slams it. I mean lower offset does look hotter no doubt, but I just think that would be more practical?

sorry i dont know the offset. i bought these rims used but in perfect condition. the kit cost me $3150. it was on sale for the tsx's and yeah i think the accord ones would fit better but it wassnt to hard modifiying the tsx suspension. oh sorry i aint selling the vs-xx's but im thinking of buying another set of wheels with a little more aggressive offset so maybe in the future.
as for more pictures, i couldnt take any because it was still raining over here. when it stops, i'll post some up asap! thanks again for the comments.

I totally agree with u get what u pay for. But i beg to differ about these sets. A few people have these kits in my car club and they have never had any problems. Great Quality as well.
