What about city sicker? Do u have it?

cM3go

No city sticker, I had a street permit. I just got it this weekend. I'm thinkin about contesting the front plate, since I just got a new bumper a couple months ago. The tints I will have to pay.

U got new bumper ? Why? What happened? Is it RJ's?

MAN that's a sweet looking TL.

Hey, in this pic there's a very noticeable color difference:

Did you get it painted by RJ or colormatched after you got the kit?

I got the kit painted and the rear bumper was the worst. I ended up painting it again. The front shows difference from just a few angles. Most of the times doesn't show any difference. I might paint the front but not now. Probably next spring.
BTW, tanks for the comment.

NumberFive

Hey, you earned it - you did basically everything I want to do to my '05 WDP. Hmm, now I need to do something else to make it original. :P

And you said you got the kit painted, does that mean it was painted by RJ? Or did you have the kit painted afterwards? When I get a RJ kit, I don't want to run into any repainting issues.

Well.... I was thinking about getting with a team like Deception Motorsports, or maybe Team Advancement etc. I dont want to enter with 3 or 4 cars; I want it to be at least 6 cars, so I dont think we will beable to get 6 cars on our team.

WDP is the worst color to match. I don't know how well u know about WDP but this is a 3 stage color. The only way to match WDP entirely is to paint the entire car which is not worth it. The bumpers are plastic. Since this is a 3 stage color, when u spray the paint on plastic and metal, it will show difference somehow.
When I had my rear buper repainted, I was going to repaint the side panels as well. But, if the panels were painted then they might show difference with the doors. That's how you will end up painting the entire car.
Just my tought

Nice TL I love the way you set it up I was wondering do you have the TPMS in those rims? I have been looking at the RonJon kit for my 06 the rims are my only hold up

tihomirbg

iTrader: (1)

Thanks man.

Well, this an 05 model.

06 models came up with this TPMS. I as far as I remember some people here have the TPMS in there aftermarket rims. I might be mistaken as well.

Wich rims do u have in mind to buy?

Retired 93LS coupe

yes I have read that some are still able to use the sensors...right now I haven't decided on any type of rim yet trying to find something that jumps out at me yours look good I have a WDP as well but 06 and have already put a few items on it but I really want the RonJon kit its different and I like different but still have alot of acessories still sitting in my trunk ...door visors, BSMolding, wood steering wheel things like that I noticed that you have BSM on yours did it come with it or did you put it on after you had it awhile? even though I purchased them I am reluctant to put it on as well as the door visors

When I got the car it was completely stock. The only one they gave me for free was the mud guards. At that time I didn't know about Acurazine nor RonJon.

Then, after a few weeks for some reason I went to google to search for something and that is how I found out about Acurazine and then RonJon. That's how I began to modify my car.
When I saw the other members' cars and with RonJon kit, I said to my self I have to have this kit.

Sometimes I hate that I found about Acurazine because I spent so much money, but most of the time I LOVE it. I even got I buyer for my car who wants to buy the car the way it is for $35,000 But I said NO.

Retired 93LS coupe

I understand how you feel....after alot of talking on my part I got the dealer to give me the all season mats, mud guards, sun roof visor when I purchased the car, before I picked it up I had the dealer install a Gold emblem package, rear wing spoiler, so that was over a thousand dollars alone. I was also trying to get the A- Spec kit, suspension and brakes but they told me I would have had to request it before I purchased my car so After that BS I ordered a trunk tray,wheel locks, door visors, bsm, wood steering wheel, wood shift knob, wood trim, full nose mask, all of those items from Honda world and those items are sitting in my trunk now. I am kinda glad they gave me the run around because I really like that RonJon Kit better than the A-Spec I guess when I find a rim that I like I will order them and tires and get the RonJon kit I just need to decide if I was to get it already painted or not

Ok guys,
what would u say if I change the wheels with those Inspyres Raven Black
w/ Machined Face. Would they look better on WDP than what I have right now?

hrglas

should look hot...i'm ordering mine on thursday

tihomirbg

iTrader: (1)

I hope it will. What color is your car? Let me know how much would cost you with shpping an all that. I'll get the wheels only because I have the tires already.

TL1110

i just got my raven black inspyres on a couple of days ago; they are sick. My car is black but i think the contrast with the wheels on ur car would really set it off. If you go to a shop try out LP Motorsports their located near ashland and division(1130 N Ashland i think).
[IMG][/IMG]

hrglas

where did you buy from. I emailed perfection honda (RonJon distributor) the other day. gotta call them back for a price on the complete package (to include the sensors)

TL1110

LP MotorSports. They are located at 1130 N Ashland (near the intersection of
Ashland and Division) their # is 773-278-1022. Talk to Jose and tell him David Anthony sent you

hrglas

i went ahead and called rondog directly at ronjon.....had to order the tires seperately. ordered a seperate set of sensors from hondacuraworld as well. i should be rolling by the first week in april.......i cant wait.

TL1110, did you use the stock lug nuts with yours

TL1110

Yeah i dd.

I just used my tpm sensors from my stock wheels, how much did u pay for ur sensors? im looking to get a second set so i dont have to be switching them back and forth every winter and spring.

You think it is safe to put on wheels now? I have some wheels but, im a little worried that it might snow again. You never know, it is the windy city


You know what, I hear a calling for a meet?

TL1110

I really dont think were gonna get another bad snow fall. but if we do i can always take the family SUV. Im not worried though.

hrglas

with shipping it was $157...talk to Tim.

www.hondacuraworld.com

as for the snow, i doubt too that we will get anymore. i think its officially the rain season. but if we do i dont think it will amount to more than just an inch....if that

Hardtimes

HEY GUYS you might not want to use the stock acura lugs. they dont seat the same as the ronjon lugs. rondys are rounded off. acuras are flat.

TL1110

does that mean they are less safe? the only reason i have the stock ones on right now is cuz rondy didnt send the lugs with the wheels. im just waiting for my shop to get them in. but what do u mean by they dont "seat" the same?

Hardtimes

I don't think they are unsafe. I put roughly a thousand miles on mine before I changed the lugs.. (i didn't know anybetter either.) rjs wheels are concave where the lugs nut meets/seats up against the rim. his lugs match that concave patter. it just gives a solid contact patch.

Ok, I guees I'm too tired but what these guys do there? Do they have these rims there in stock?
Also, BTW you're car looks aweeeeeeeeesome , are these rims going to look good on WDP? As I said, I need good night sleep that's why i didn't get what u mean. Sorrrry.
Tim

TL1110

lol. i was responding to "hrglas", he wanted to know where i purchased my wheels from. they dont have them in stock but they got mine in like 3 or 4 days.
Thanx for the compilment. i personally think the rims would look good on ur car. Your car already looks hot though.

hrglas

naw bro, thats good info to know.....check PM


Yeah, i'm up at 0430 posting cause the hail out here in the burbs just woke me up........hope theres no damage to the car

.....no snow, but i forgot about the hail

hrglas

spoke too soon. that heavy rain with hail left some dings on the car.....

tihomirbg.....if you get those raven black inspyres on that white its going to look sick
