It was free so we can ridicule you all we want.
Besides, it's about time you made a mistake. I kid, I kid, we still have no idea what it looks like.

Not sure if I do or not haha. I like it because it's different but it's not really the style I would have chosen. Maybe I'll have it redone some day but I can't justify spending the money on it.
If anyone doesn't already know, I was given free tickets to attend the SEMA show. I was selected out of thousands who are involved with the car community and are active on a car fourm. I guess being a post whore has it's advantages . It's in Vegas so I really need to watch how much money I spend between now and there.
Anyways, back to our progress this afternoon. Everything was going really great until the sky fucking fell out
Matt was busy with my car so I got a little creative with his car.
Matt doesn't visit Acurazine often but his username mglum. He does effing great work, my paint has never looked so good. Big thanks to him for bringing my car back to life! Here he is doin' work. Oh and yeah the car was moved into the garage because of the rain.
And I finally put them on
The colors aren't an exact match but this is how I feel about that.
They look better than no centercaps at all and I'm happy with how they turned out. Nothing is perfect in life so I'm just glad the Plastidip project turned out as planned.
Matt and I, along with numerous other Acurazine members, will be attending a meet tomorrow in Charlotte. Cars and Coffee in the morning and then an Acurazine meet afterwards. Keep an eye out for pictures :wink:
And yes I'll be responding to everyone's previous posts as promised. Don't worry, I didn't forget about yall.

His are matte bronze but I prefer the gunmetal
18x8.5 +39
18x9.5 +30
He's pretty sunk up front. He's planning to get spacers.

Thanks Ravin! Cheap mods ftw.
I wish you were able to attend the meet tomorrow
Haha thanks Craig! Is is wrong that I think of the movie Friday every time I see you post? CRAIIIIGGGGGG
Thanks dude! Something different that didn't cost me much.
Check the next page Oscar
Thanks!
You could call it that
I know this thread is getting pretty lengthy. It's fun to go back and reminisce for a while though.
Make sure your 105k serivce has been done. That includes the replacement of the timing belt which is VERY important. Usually around that time the water pump and tensioner belt are both replaced.
Visually check the dashboard for any discoloration and cracks and same for the seats.
Good luck
Talented? Yeah right, that's just pure luck
I posted a picture on the next page and MANY more pictures will be posted after the meet tomorrow. Stay tuned
Thanks Aaron. You and I both know that your car blows mine out of the water.
LOVE that stuff.
Thanks Tyler!
Daniel, the guy you met up with at the KS meet with the 06 NBP TL, sent two caps to me. Long story short I traded him my 04 Gunmetal caps for a set of his Type-S ones. I told him about my project and he sent me back the gunmetal ones
After December there will be no mods
I'll be moving an hour south and attending school. I won't be working so I'll have no source of income to pour into the car.
Hehe
Check that stuff out dude! It's awesome!
Thanks dude! Good luck finding a set of wheels.
Thanks Steven! I appreciate you changing my thread title
I know I know. It's really not that bad in person.
It is zomgeez for sure.
Nope.
Next time you see me, you'll have a black eye
You mean hunting season? And yes, we hunt for people living above the NC/VA border. Watch yourself.
Ima beat dat azz.
I'll post them soon enough!
You'll see
I can't see Jamal so fuck him.
Soon soon
I'm sure people won't like it. You guys don't have to make my car payment so I don't care
Like you said, it was free, so why not and try something new?
Oh I know. Too bad the funds in my account will come to an end eventually due to this car

Tyler,
Great work on your car. I've been up for almost 3 hours now just going through this thread ALONE! lol. Love the work and definitely got some inspirations, as to what to do once I get my TL.
I will be contacting you very soon.
Btw the TL im getting is 133K (money budget) 6 Spd. How is your car now that is over 100k? What are some of the things I should test out when I go to the dealer soon to test the car? Things to look out for?

Dude...I think the centercaps look awesome...civic, ps...didn't forget you...took stickers out of attic.
Tyler...went to StanceNation meet today...over 300 cars...honestly, I went home wishing I hadn't bothered modding at all...so much money dumped into these car and mine looked like I had nothing done to it. Kinda wished I had a nice fast rwd bells and whistles stock car. My fiance says I'm full of shit and I'd be modding THAT car in about a week of owning it.

Today at C&C I really wish I had a S2000. I've been looking at them a lot recently
I took almost 150 pictures today at the meet, a lot less than usual to be honest, but I'm too fucking tired to post them. Hopefully tomorrow after work I'll have a chance to upload and post them.

I feel you, brother, I feel you. Stick with the TL...you get the S...you're gonna want an M3, you get the M3, you're gonna want the M5, you get that, you're gonna want American Muscle...
replace any of those cars with others...but that's always the same story. We have nice cars...and they are made for US at this point...do marriage counseling...don't go fuck someone else

Yeah I know, it's just that they are so beautiful
I like my TL, don't get me wrong, but I'm just bored with it. Doing little things like centercaps keeps me entertained but only to a certain extent. I need to appreciate what I have, and I do, but I want to live it up in a 2-seater before I have kids.
I won't be getting rid of the TL. I've put too much damn money into it to let it go. Plus with having the recent 105k service done and such, it'll be running for a while. I'm not sure how much longer the tranny will last, but it's doing well as of right now.
Come on though, this thing is fawking sexy...

And I disagree about that S2000 being sexy. This one is sexier:

I like the AP1 more because of the high revving engine, but for me it doesnt matter since I'd end up yanking the motor out anyway

The S2000 is fawking sexy, whether it revs to 9k or not
Anyways here are the long overdue pictures. I drove to Charlotte early Saturday morning and attended Cars and Coffee. Afterwards we had lunch at Taco Mac and then had an Acurazine meet. Da pics...
If you see your car, let me know if you want high-res e-mailed to you.
And here are some shots of my car. Shows off my "burlwood" hydro-dipped engine panels. All comments, whether negative or positive, are welcome. You won't hurt my feelings
The centercaps...
Ta-daaaaaaaaaa!

Dude...I'll take that 280Z with the newer Z swap and huge panasports all day long. What a sectsy car.
Ok...
Tyler, a few things to address here:
Car Stance:Perfect
Overall Appearance:Perfect
Engine covering:Actually looks pretty effin cool. PS, is that artistically painted or wrapped? I actually just bought a set of engine covers for 40 shipped to have a backup set (and all my tabs are broken). I'm thinking of having it all wrapped too.
Great job and thanks for taking the time to share with us.
