i've been a AZ member for long time.. and this was my entertainment when i was in iraq for 15months. but i think its time for me to actually get involved in the forum and post some pictures. by all means, its not the greatest looking TL out there but with you guys help i should be fine
i know its crappy pix and still learning. any comments, tips welcome

Grill looks nice but the color doesn't fit your car. Maybe paint it black?

What are you talking about?! DGP is the sh*t! I would have painted the IM cover a different color though.

To the OP; how did you do the grill? Makes the car look aggressive.

thanks for the comment guys. i might paint them again. we'll see.
grill - i bought the mesh grill from home depot for $7 and its pretty big size and flexible. i pretty much cut out the middle part of the original grill, mold the mesh to the grill and cut. took me couple tries but im happy with it now.

Pick a light color CF to contrast with your DGP. Your TL is coming along nicely. Welcome home and thanks for your service

Looks great man! I don't see too many DGP TL's in person, or on this forum in fact, and it's a good looking color.

Making those subtle changes like others have mentioned would really benefit the car. Adding the A-Spec kit would improve it even more. Try to get a theme going for your car and then pick out parts that way.

And thanks for your service overseas. I have 7 friends I graduated with in 07 over there right now. I respect yall like hell

Not feeling the grill...lettering....or the license plate.

Ive never been able to understand why people in the military like to butcher cars so much.

(waits for someone to try and bash me for bashing military)

Not feelin the grill, if you do mesh it should sit inside not flush on the outside like yours is. Thats just my opinion though

I am feelin the toys, nice bikes

alkoholikz

thanks for all the comment guys! definitely giving me fresh ideas for the TL. i still got alot of work to do for my car to be up in the level where some of the AZ members are. but one comment made by sT04Louis, " i dont like ur license plate".. u mean where its positioned??

DGP is an awesome color! I was talking about the grill.

OP, any plans to clear out the headlights?

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

Exactly....it looks like you just tacked it onto your bumper with some screws.

There are a number of plate relocation brackets that look so much better than that.

Did you get that grille from Ebay? If so, how does it fit? Meaning is it pretty secure or do you have adjustment issues?

have to agree not really feeling the grill, you should hook the car up with an A-Spec body kit.

i guess grill is NAY huh?? thanks for all the comments guys! yea im thinkin bout clearing headlights and aspec kit for sure! the license plate - i got a ticket for not having one so i had to use double sided tape. its just for temporary.. not permanant.

I think the grille is fine, just put the mesh on the inside. My .

Grill looks funky and the red Acura letters dont really flow with the green. Other than that the car looks great man.
