I've tried keeping her in mint condition...

Can anyone notice the 2 issues with my car from the pictures? I can but i know what they are lol :-p (There's also one custom component on the car can you notice it too?)

All 3 are clearly visible in the pictures :P

Lol, your pics aren't clearly visible though.

I see a possible dent on the quarter panel, but it may be the pics.

I see non OEM rotors.

It's missing the battery cover?

Also looks like some hater sprayed black paint on your licence plate.

Powerflow - NICE JOB you found the custom race rotors (also custom race brakes) don't ask :P

babnik - Nice find on one of the problems - My battery terminal fried my stock clamp (notice its not the same) so I had to put a new one on and the battery terminal cover no longer fits.


ONLY 1 more problem to find :P

Its the most obvious one imo lol.

You're using a garage opener when the TL has HomeLink standard?

Don't remember me :P I was here a while back. I won't mod my TL because I am sure the tranny would give out if I pushed it from a daily driver to a monster.

Don't want to be spending that kind of money.

And no front tires are fine :P

So far:

Battery Terminal - Issue 1
???? - Issue 2
Custom Brakes/Rotors = only upgrade.


How has no one gotten issue 2 ITS SO OBVIOUS :P

You're emergency brake isn't on? lol.
I've stared at the pictures for 15 minutes and don't know what you're getting at.
Things I see off are:
  • Drilled and slotted rotors
  • ASPEC lip.. but no sides or rear
  • Different battery.
  • No battery cover
  • Seats look a little worn -- but 100k miles will do that
  • Steering wheel might be worn/faded?
  • It's either 7:50am or 7:50pm? If it's night... it's still light out??
  • Non-Acura specified tires? They kind of look like BFG gforce sports
  • You're not wearing any shoes when taking the picture
  • The 1st picture has the wheels straight. The rest have the wheels turned
Gahhh. You're killing me smalls.

FINE I'll spill the beans your going to be so pissed :P Cause its so obvious.

The Rotors/Tires/Brakes are all Custom thats correct.
The battery was replaced at 80,000 and the cover is gone because of the terminal so thats correct.
The seats are used and the steering wheel has SLIGHT fade but like you said its normal.


THE FINAL ISSUE (lol so obvious).

First 3 pics...My A-spec Kit has a crack on the left side (cars left your right)... I let my dad borrow it one night and he destroyed a possum with my lip kit. I've never really replaced it and imo the car itself is untouched i can remove the lip and the TL still be mint so i never decided too.

HOW BAD DO YOU FEEL! Because man it sticks out like a soar thumb in the 2nd/3rd pictures :P

Driver's side right at the corner of the lip you can tell its cracked off. The light also bounces thru the crack in all 3 of the first pictures.
