Sup fellow acuraziners, hope ya are doing well. Many of you guys don't know me but some of you guys do. I have been on and off from this site but learned most if not, all my things here on Acurazine. I wanted to thank all the members and the site for expanding my knowledge and upgrading my taste. I own a base SSM 05 AT Acura TL for about 3 years now and I wanted to share my adventure with you guys! All feedbacks are welcomed (love or hate)! Let me hear what you guys think!

When I first got the car. Added pedals

 

Nice ride keep it going

Maybe i'm posting too many pictures of little progress. I apologize for my noob status... Here are some more pictures:
Plasti dip stock rims to black
Led light strip... (ended up taking it off.. didn't like the look, wasn't classy)

brake calipers painted red.
Ordered rdx brake caliper covers. Painted them red to match front.




(not the best job...)

I HATE the wheel gap....

Thanks for the support guys! Will be posting more pictures soon after I knock these midterms down!

 

Out with the old and in with the new! New XLR8 v2 jpipe installed.

 

Traded headlights with my boy ArthurL. JnC glossy black with ZKW-r and carbon fiber inlay with Morimoto 5k bulbs and vleds drl 5k and vleds switchbacks v2.

 

Random shots. Enjoy!







With my uncles GTR


Plasti dip white for my stockies.


Opinions??


Bruce wrapping my roof with glossy black vinyl. Thanks


And my lastest pickup from the blackmarket. Thanks Jaimie!
Tein Street Advance with oem top hats. Can't wait to install these next spring!

 

I see in one of the pictures you had your fogs on as well, being that you have an 05, I suggest not using the fogs at all with halogen bulbs. The heat from the halogen bulb running at 12v will melt the inner bezel around the DRL opening. If you do intend on using the fogs then switch to LED bulbs.

 

Nice updates

 

I traded the headlights with ArthurL. His DRL are vled bulbs. My fog lights on the bottom are HID's.

 

Thanks for the support

 

Your uncle's GTR

 

Damn, you've been busy. The wheels are going to look great!

 

Well… It's been a long time since I've updated this thread. Just a little update. Hope you guys enjoy!

Installed tein SA coils, type s lip (cracked mine during the winter trying to drift… lol), rv-6 strut bar, fujita CAI and roof spoiler.

Never be afraid to stand alone… Casino night! =]

Painted my engine bay covers… noob job but whatever..


Hand waxed on a nice day

Almost summer time!!




Finally got my new wheels! And some jackass stole my roof spoiler….. fucking low lives


What you guys think? I'm in love! 19x9.5 all around with 235/35/19 conti




Love the concave, can't tell much in picture but more in person




Hope you guys enjoyed! Love or hate, all comments welcomed. Also got custom lug nuts from supgrade. Sorry for the ill photo bomb.

Now I'm getting ready for a big maintenance job. 105k service, tranny drain and fill, o2 sensors, rear main seal leak, new rack and pinion, new tranny and engine mounts, valve cover gaskets and should be running for a long time coming!

 

Sick wheels! But the texture on that centre cap looks odd. good look overall

 

Thanks! I left it chrome to see how I like it, I have the sticker that goes on it from Rohana. Thinking about putting it on.

 

Trying to look closer, is the centre cap engraved around the edges? That's probably what I'm looking at. If so, that's kinda cool---it just looked a bit odd to me in one picture (as if it was texture and not smooth)

 

Nice progress! Sorry to hear about the roof spoiler

I would consider lowering the front maybe 1/4" and painting the calipers black

 

Everything looks good-not a fan of all the stickers, but.......

 

Yep, just got black caliper paint and planning on doing them soon!
The height to me is perfect, don't want to go too low in NY.. our roads suck.

 

Thanks, yea stickers are just for now, I'll probably take them off soon. Just wanted to try it lol

 

^^^ Thank you!

 

Wheels look great!! Nice specs too! Congrats
