had the front lip for awhile and finally got around to getting the sides and rear...enjoy :

 

Looks good.



Make sure to check out the regions section for meets and what not.

 

Shiny

 

I can appreciate a clean NBP...congrats on the aspec kit

 

Nice and clean! Any plans on lowering your car?

 

lower that bish!

 

thanks, will do!

haha, those are my girl's camera skills...the car is actually dirty!

thanks dude!

suspension is the next item on my list! still debating on which to go with. suggestions?

another thing that I noticed is that the side skirts sit about an inch lower than the front lip...that annoys me. so I'm looking for some carbon splitters to even it out.

 

I will suggest the ISC N1 coilovers. I have them and they ride super nice and have great ride height adjustment and well as damper adjustment. XLR8 has them on sale right now, I would seriously check them out. The quality can't be beat and the price is awesome for what you are getting!

nice.

 

Dude-first, Aspecs look very sexy on a NBP.

Second, you DO NOT need coilovers for a Type S...The Machine, I'm not trying to bash on your suggestion. But the Type S already has a nice, stiff ride.

I went with H&R Sports Springs at a fraction of the cost (only $245 from one of our Acurazine Vendors). They are just great and perfect for a Type S.

Just something to consider.....

 

DAMN that's a clean NBP.

A-Spec looks great

 

Looks good. I've been thinking about doing the body kit but worry about a gap in the front and rear panel.

 

It's cool Steven . I just automatically jump to telling people about those coilovers because of the quality, nice ride, and sweet adjustment ability. Also, just trying to give them a heads up that a sale is going on in hopes to try and save our fellow members so $$$ if they are looking to go in the coilovers direction.
But OP, yes, Steven is right there are other choices out there to lower your vehicle depending on your budget and what your goals are for ride height and such. With more info from you, we can help you make a better decision from there

 

those look awesome! thanks.

how have your stock shocks held up with the h&r's and how many miles were on the stockies when you installed?

thanks for the insight guys.

I've considered the teins:

and I've also considered the manual a-spec type-s suspension since mine is an auto it supposedly drops it a bit more. also, I think resale will be better with this on there, because I don't plan on changing the suspension out again once I get it on there. what do you guys think?

 

+1 springs are the way to go unless you get dampening adjustable coils.

 

'preciate it.

thanks dude!

the kit has double sided tape on the inside of the front and rear lips which should prevent any gaps.

 

Well it all depends, with springs or the aspec suspension your drop kinda is what it is. If you don't think it's low enough you kinda spent money for nothing and then have to get coilovers to be able to adjust the height to where you want it. Also with springs/aspec you can't adjust anything to make the ride stiffer or softer. It all depends on what you want. I know most on here that have just put springs on the stock shocks absolutely hated the ride quality and wound up switching to coilovers anyway. The Teins are a great company for coilovers if you decide to go with them, but you have to reuse your stock top hats. But with the ISC N1's they come with brand new top hats, just sayin.

 

all good info, thanks!

I'm looking for a drop like this:

you're right, I am concerned that the a-spec won't give me the drop I want. my concern with springs only is that the stock shocks would go bad due to different spring rates.

 

I'm new to this site loving the threads just got a 06 Acura tl Will post pics once I'm able to

 

Looking awesome, I like them wheels a lot.

 

Looks awesome! You ever consider getting a roof spoiler? I think that with lowering your car would be amazing!

 

good times.

thanks, they've been great wheels although they have a few rock chips on them now...I might get them powder coated at some point.

thank you sir! actually yes, I've been thinking about a carbon fiber roof spoiler and some carbon fiber splitters for the front bumper.

 

My stock shocks have held up fine-no issues whatsoever.

 

good to know, how much did the h&r's lower your car? I measured yesterday and I'd like about a 1.25" drop.

 

^^^ Mine was about the same.

 

thought I would throw up a few update pics (sorry but only cell pics for now):

installed some zkw-r with osram 5k bulbs...





tein street advance!



freshly washed...







I'm planning to have the 3m on the front bumper/lip re-done and paint and/or powdercoat the brembos.

thanks for looking!

 

Looks so clean.

If you're on facebook, Atlanta has a huge Acura group with around 200 members; you should definitely join.

 

Dude sweet Type - S. I'm in Cobb too....near Swift Cantrell park. We gotta meet up. Im Slooooooowly doing mods though.

 

Car looks amazing! How did you get your headlights to run together with the drl's?

 

thanks dude.

I'm actually a member on the facebook group, but I rarely log into facebook!

thanks man, is that in k'saw? yeah, it's been a looong time since I've been to a meet. I would be down for a cruise.

have a look at this thread here:

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/07-08-drl-headlights-836519/

since then, I've upgraded to some v-leds. much brighter!

 

Although I know exactly how an Aspec TL looks I am always eager to look at threads like these as if I was expecting to see something that I have never seen before.

 

I'm the same way, mainly because given the amount of 3g's I see on the road I rarely see one with an a-spec kit. pretty common on azine though.

 

 

Gorgeous!

 

could I trouble you to add the updated date to the title of the thread?

thanks! your ride is looking sharp too my man.

 

Looking good

 

much appreciated.
