So before anyone says anything, ive always wanted to take off the body side moldings, and the rear spoiler and add a decklid spoiler.
And also get some coilovers but im broke!!
Anyways on to the pics...




wooo check out that shine haha

That's a nice looking a-spec TL

taking off the BSM is free . I agree with the spoiler issue. I've never understood why they even offered that ugly thing. It is in no way sleek and doesnt go with the lines of the car. It's too 90's imo. No offense to those that like it.

Great looking car and photos!

Looks awesome man Awesome pictures as well.

You might as well just leave that side body molding on there. Even though a lot of people don't like it, it makes your car stand out from the crowd even more

And is your car a true A-Spec from the factory? I ask because I don't see an A-Spec steering wheel. I could be blind though

Any other plans for the car? Being broke and all I know it's hard, but clearing out your headlights would look sick with SSM.

That's a cool interior shot! I like a lot =o

And that's not an ugly SSM. Pshhhh.

BigJustin

haha thanks

lol yeahh i know its free i just havnt had any time really, or just getting lazy. and yeah the only time i like how the spoiler looks is from a dead on rear shot.

thanks!

Yeah sometimes my thoughts are just to take off the spoiler and slam it, and it'll look good but different, kinda like rockyfeller's car. But then again it looks soo much cleaner without them.

And yeah when i got the car this is how it looked like, but it also had the sunroof visor but i took that off. Does not have the A-spec steering wheel, but does have the A-spec everything else including the brake pads.

My other plans so far are just to get megan coilovers so i can slam the shit outa it lol, rear sway bar, CAI, rv6 or atlp j-pipe, black out the chrome housing and leave the amber diffuser in the headlights, and i would love the atlp base catback all for the near future, and of course more bigger things like ballin ass rims in the distant future.

thanks! haha i say its ugly only because its not what i would like it to be at right now

Sounds like some awesome plans man

I have a list going for mine as well. Being jobless doesn't help me cross anything off though haha

BigJustin

haha yeahh i feel ya man
being a high school student with only 1 job doesn't really help my progress either.

weren't you going to buy a house or something?

I hope you really don't think that's ugly. I'll take your A-Specs off you if you think those are ugly too...

And how did you get your TL to shine like that?

Looks good! i wish I had Navi!!

BigJustin

haha if anything id keep the body side moldings and take the spoiler off, i really want that spoiler off
haha thank you sir!
im just saying its ugly because its not how i want it to look like yet
haha thanks broo, and yes sir! soon hopefully lol

haha i just think the spoiler and body side moldings are ugly, and its not how i want it to look like yet, so thats why im saying its ugly right now lol.

and nothing special was done to get it to shine like that, just a good hand wash. I used some kind of Zaino soap, forgot what it was exactly called but thats the brand. I also used a leaf blower and blow dried it .

haha thanks! you could always do one of those carputer things, have a navi, and a computer in your car! haha

BigJustin

wow i just noticed in every comment i responded to i started off with a "haha"

cjTL

iTrader: (2)

That's it? Damn. I guess I need to break out that claybar tomorrow...

BigJustin

yep yep thats all, didn't even detail it. I see your only 16 thats cool im only 17

Oh and you guys remember the first pic? I did a little photoshop of what i would like it to look like



Took off the body side moldings, spoiler, debadged the acura and TL emblems, and dropped it. HOPEFULLY someday it'll look like this!

Yea well I'm a college kid with no job, so you are better off than I am haha. I quit my job back in April.

I was going to get a townhouse with a good friend of mine, but I decided to stay at home as long as I could stand it and save up while I worked. Now I'm focusing on school and trying to get it all over and done with and then get the house and car situations all set up.

And that chop looks SICK. Pick up a few more hours at work and make it happen

i think the car looks great...only thing i'm not feeling are the side moldings.

Kro

that's a very nice photoshop, dawg. good stuff

cjTL

iTrader: (2)

Holy. Friggin nice photoshop.
Think about adding the decklid spoiler, its a subtle but nice touch. I have one on mine.

BigJustin

dangg whyd you quit your job?
nicee so what you majoring in college?
and thanks again, i actually have been getting a few more hours at work lately lol. but first things first, gotta do some maintenance work on the TL, then mods. also got to buy some stuff for school, start next week haha

thanks broo, and yeahh i feel ya, notice the photochop i did looks 10x better

thank you sir

thanks bro i remember seeing some members with the CSL style spoiler decklid whatever its called and it looked SICKK, if i can find one of those im def. going to hop on that

Its very subtle but I like it. They're on fleabay for ~$300. Here's a link with a pic of my TL's rear when I got it two weeks ago. Link

BigJustin

back atcha. love your car too
ooo nice nicee looks clean. you should polish up those exhaust tips, and maybe a debadge too
any plans for your baby?

cjTL

iTrader: (2)

Haha those tips are clean now. That pic was on the first day I got the car.

And next spring- wheels. Thinking A-Specs or RonJon Legends. Then a drop...Tein SS. Eventually, I'd like Type-S tails and headlights, but that probably won't be for a while. I, like you, need some more moneys first.

For now, this car still makes me happy as a fat kid eating ice cream.

bb4_vtec

damn i need those type s tails and different springs

BigJustin

ooh haha goodstuff
oh yeahh i def. gotta get some tl-s tails and rearside markers lol.
and yep i agree with you im still happy with my car also
haha i wish they were tl-s tailghts, i guess the black & white makes it look like it a bit since i didnt photoshop anything with the tailights.
I also wish i had this kind of drop lol

rice702

looks really clean without the BSM's. Sick!

CometVR4

I think the wing spoiler adds a nice racey look to the TL. IMO the trunk looks too long with the lip spoiler.

Dude, that photoshop is sick. You need to get your car lookin like that ASAP!!

SweetJazz

Raise the car up so the tires are not tucked and you are in business.

Wheel tuck =

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Dude, I like the winged spoiler. Have you considered a roof spoiler?

BigJustin

Thank you sir! My next mod shaved body side moldings

Eh im not really into spoilers especially for the TL. I think it looks sooo much cleaner without one.

Thanks broo, and yep im workin on it lol

nooo way, ive always been a fan of the slammed/flushed look

Eh wana trade trunks? lol
And nope I havn't really taken a look at the roof spoilers....yet

It was bullshit. I worked there for 4 years and new employees were making more than I was. Managers would make me do their bitch work and shit. People were all in my business. Talked shit about my family and my girlfriend. I just got sick of it.

I'm majoring in Business Administration right now, but I may be moving that to Accounting. I'm in an intro accounting class right now and I love it. I may just stick with the business major, get my BS in that, and then I'm considering getting my real estate license. I'm going to see if I can intern at a real estate office next summer and see if i I like it before I go and pursue my license.

And I hear ya on that man. Gotta make sure your car is running right before you can do anything to it. I'm keeping mine the way it is for now due to lack of funds and a job. I've gotten my priorities screwed up the last few years, so I need to get them back on track. I'm ready for school to get over and done with.

And I started school this past week. Tuesday and Thursday classes FTW! 4 day weekends every week
