A_Spec_TL_04

Just picked up an 04 TL A-Spec with 82K Miles... Wrecked... Here are some pictures of the car...

It needed... Headlights, Hood, Bumper Cover, Grille, Radiator Support, Radiator, Condenser, Both Fans. I picked it up for $5900 Wrecked. What Do You Think? Good Deal? No?

Front end damage only?

stock to the bone

those ron jon alone cost 1k +. It has side and rear aspec in good shape. Doesnt look like the airbag deployed, so i think i found a deal there.

Welcome ! So are you going to be fixing the car yourself? Cause that a sounds like a lot of work...coming from a non mechanic. The rest of the body looks clean and I love the color and rims. Is the front a-spec lip salvageable? Good luck to fixing it up!

Good luck man. That looks really nice though.

Welcome and congrats!

I think it's a good buy but then again I'm not a wrecked car expert. I hope the repair process goes well!

Your front end is ready for an intercooler.

Get rid of that wood crap on the inside and she'll look fine

Not bad of a find at all. A spec sides and rear, with RJ rims already...not bad. Good luck with the fixing part and detailing the inside. Post "Before and After" Pics.

i think you got a good deal as long as the frame is straight. Other than that its going to be a nice rebuild. I like looking for salvaged cars, especially if im going to rebuild the motor and front end.

A_Spec_TL_04

Yes just front end damage with good air bags! The front lip is saveable, i have a body guy whos going to put her all back together with new parts for cheap. Anybody know where i can get a hood latch that bolts to the radiator support?

Dayum, that is the cleanest wrecked car I have ever seen!

Welcome to azine, looks like you got a deal

good start to the TL diet thread https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-112/m-010-putting-tl-diet-update-links-post-1-a-610974/

If that is indeed the only damage incurred then I would say you got a great deal. Usually other issues pop up down the road though.. Do a 3x3 on the ATF at those miles, assume it's never been serviced and change the ATF filter as well.

haha wow that is a good deal considering how much you can do to fix it with aftermarket parts.

M.I.N.O.

iTrader: (1)

WOW! What a steal! You got a grat deal at $5900, and you already have the A-spec kit and RJ rims! How come I'm never around when these deals come around?!

Can't wait to see the after pics!

A_Spec_TL_04

how come i see some TLs have fog lights and some dont? Is there a place where i could buy fog lights?

Bladehopper82

I'm guessing you're talking about the two separate fog lights on the 07-08 TL's, they come standard for those years. You can mod the 04-06 TL's, but not a mod for Novices like me...lol

A_Spec_TL_04

Oh so the 04-06 never came with fog lights from the dealer? Where can i get like interior trim to get rid of the wood?

A_Spec_TL_04

What is a 3x3?
