So you removed the shocker sticker, right? Cause there are also a LOT of ricey 95 Civics and Accords out there running with them on there too. Your selective reasoning slays me. lol

 

i went with the OE plugs NGK 6994. Plus i dont know how for a 100% fact that the guy i bought the car from did keep up with maintenance. So now i do know that the maintenance on the car is good because i did it myself.

 

Your comparing my reasoning on headlights to what stickers i personally like.

The shocker is something i always put on my cars or motorcycles, so i would rather have a ricey 2 dollar sticker then waste money on ruining the beautiful 3g headlights. Then again i dunno where your from but there isnt many modded cars rolling around durham...and ive yet to see any one with that sticker on their car besides personal friends of mine.

 

yep.. you have to believe the guy before you beat on it and didn't do one maintenance item since he bought it. Unfortunately I think the guy before me did exactly that.

Still the NGK Iridiums and Bosch Plats will run 100k pretty well even under extreme conditions. So performance gains will probably be minimal changing the plugs early.

 

Thx for the input atleast I got along time b4 I have to do it again. Plus I had a 25 dollar off promo code for advanced auto parts so figured I might as well buy them

 

 

I finally got my rv6 strut bar last night at 8pm which is the latest I've ever got something from fedex. Gonna throw it on today and post some pics with the edfc

 

 

nice progress man, car looking good! was nice meeting u at the charlotte meet also!

 

Car looks great. What's the story with the grille? You say custom, any more details? IMO the Type-S looks perfect up in the corner as-is. As far as the decal, respect for rocking the car how you want. If you took it off because a bunch of dudes on the internet didn't like it, that would be lame.

 

+1 ^

 

You've got some really fast progress going on this car. Everytime I check this thread and see your grill, the more it grows on me. Was it a big pain to hack up the front so it would fit?

 

no i dont think it was, but i did take it to a professional to put it on and paint it.

 

preciate it man. Yea im on the forums to get opinions and learn more about the car...not design it the way other people want it.

As far as the grille i got it from

http://cmodgrilles.auctivacommerce.com/

The reason i said "custom" is because the hardware with the grille was trash so i had to get some custom hardware to mount it. After mounting it from under the engine bay, im not 100% sure but the body shop i took it to also used some sort of easy to rubber adhesive for the bottom portion of the grille to make sure it didnt vibrate or get loose. Then i went and ordered a slightly bigger type s emblem from ebay to compensate for the hole in the front. I honestly couldnt be happier with it. It turned out exactly the way i wanted it to.

 

Looking oh so good. Continue with the great progress.

 

thanks!

 

Nice ride and bike.
Do work son!

 

finally got a few days off and starting the EDFC install. It is a complete bitch. Havnt finished yet, just ran the wires from the rear shocks to the front. Took forever getting the seats out and popping all the panels to tuck the wires neatly. Gonna start running the wires from the engine bay into the car tomm probably and get this thing install. Gonna post pics when its up and rdy!

 

i see a v3 jpipe and precats in my future as well. veryyyy soon once i recover from this almost 1700 dollar suspension setup.

 

diggin' the grill dude good job

 

Thanks

 

well hooking up my edfc today was a fail. i ran out of time and managed to get everything working, but im still trying to find somewhere to run my front edfc wires through my firewall into the car. Any suggestions would help besides drilling a small hole into my fire wall.

 

when i first got my car i always wanted to do the same grille u did...there was this one guy who did a diy thread on this that actually made me want to do it...but i never ended up doing it.

check out his thread its called something like "floating A"
you ever think about taking off the type s from the front and just putting your acura "A" emblem in the front? The hole wouldnt look so awkward and youd still have a sexy mesh grille but filled in with the emblem

 

Thx but I'm really happy with the grille

 

finally got the edfc hooked up with the help of one of my buddies. Here is the final product!

 

cool! enjoy the convenience of damper adjustment on the fly!!! hardwire your V1 already!

 

yea yea im so lazy i need to hardwire it soon.

 

acutally im about to go Hardwire it right now haha.

 

all great things must come to an end....thanks to a nice deer i totaled my TL-s last night guys. Luckily noone was hurt. Now gotta wait for the insurance adjuster to check out whats left of it. On the bright side, i can go buy another TLs in a different color now.

 

Glad everyone is okay!! Poor deer.. venison stew?

Make sure you take off the EDFC gear and Teins.

 

Holy shit! Totaled? I'm so sorry to hear man. You haven't even had the car for that long!

 

Wow sorry to hear, glad nobody got hurt.

 

Nice car and nice progect, but i will give you an advice, forgive the tein SS they are not sport suspenssion, I had that on my Accord and they more soft than stock!!

 

yea im just assuming its gonna be totaled cuz the airbags popped out. Theres minor damage, so im going to pull all my parts off and probably sell them on the BM or take them off and put them on my next TLS.

 

Or they may even fix the car for me who knows. Either way ill be back in a TLS ASAP!

 

Good to hear that you aren't leaving the Acura community

 

yea i wasnt even here long enough lol.

I just talked to someone who had a WDP 08 TLS for 27000 with 30k miles. I might try to hunt that one down. ill keep everyone posted

 

6-speed?

 

i refuse to ever own a auto lol

so yea its a 6spd theres only about 5 im considering within 500mi radius which is sad. SO many fuckin auto TLs its insane. About 2% of all the TLs ive looked at are 6spd.

 

Dam sorry to hear that man. After all that fast progress and all. Seen you and your ride at the Charlotte meet couple months ago. Good luck finding a new ride.
