so since i've gotten my new 04, i havent posted any pics.. i really wish i had taken pictures from the begining of when i got it, until now, so i could see the different stages of mods how little or big i did.. her name is charlotte and shes been dirty for awhile.. when i finally had the time to take her out for a total bath, i decided to take some pics.. here we go!


















the hardest thing to do for me were the smoked lights.. it took me reeeaaaaalllly long and hurt my hands verrrrrrry much.. it gives you a sense of self satisifcation doing it yourself though..

the license plate lights were off of pimpin-tl's guide using two cold cathode lights.. my list of mods arnt much, but theyre all in my signature.. enjoy!

oyea i know having the window visors on the back only looks weird, but thats because i havent gotten aroudn to tint my fronts yet.. im doing that tomorrow so ill put them on then haha. my next project is going to be the DIY aspec lip! yay

Nice... is that a bandaid in ur bumper?

ecliptics

haha yea.. its the honda "stupid hurts" (thats what it says) vinyl sticker.. i thought it was a way better idea to use that to cover my bumper ding than to get it fixed since im low on money.. the sticker is actually for honda motorcycles dings but people use it on their cars as well.. i think i've seen another memeber with it on their NBP

That looks funny as hell! You gonna get a ticket from the car mod police!

The rest looks pretty slick! I can see it coming together man! DO THAT TINT TOMORROW!!!

Bearcat94

Very Nice! Even better after you get the front tints.

The Gun Metal Emblem is Great. Where'd you get (or how'd you do it)?

ecliptics

haha i knew someone was gonna say that, but i wanted to show all angles.. its actually been like that for like 3 weeks... but i have a tint appointment tomorrow.. promise!

what i did was i bought a new emblem online for about 25 bucks.. then i went to pepboys and got duplicolor car paint in a dark gunmetal and a can of clear coat.. i think it was only like 10 bucks a can for the minisize. i gave the new emblem 3 coats of paint and then 1 layer of clearcoat.. took the old emblem off, and put the new emblem on.. the reason u have to buy a new emblem is because it has a really sticky adhesive on the back, that when u take off the old one, you're gonna have to rip through.. pretty easy mod that makes a lot of difference if you ask me.

oyea u can get directions on how to take off your emblem on hondaacuraworld.com under instructions

ecliptics

i haven't gone in awhile.... but dayum. i am always the only TL there.. so yea, kinda wack.. But yea.. it's not hard to spot me.. I am prolly the only WDP-TL with AEM plates in the south bay area.. =)

triton3k

not bad.
Post more pics when you tint the front.

stevenautozconcept

ecliptics

hahaha yeah..that happened to me once hahah

Hey, playazz... I'm in Santa Cruz and NEVER see anyone with a modified TL AT ALL in my neck of the woods! It's probably due in large part to the fact that people are more intersted in their Birkenstocks and 100% nuclear-free hemp do-rags than modifying sweet cars.

I've never seen either of you two unfortunately. Are you guys going to the All-Cali meet on June 30th? We should roll together caravan style and represent the Bay all the way down the highway, especially since all three of us are WDP boyz.

Whats up with that drip guard on only the back window. I don't want to insult you, but it looks like shit. Either put them on front and back, or take that thing off. I HATE those things anyway.

Car looks great except for that

I don't like the door guards either, SORRY. Added crap to the body besides an aero pkg looks bad

ecliptics

haha i know it looks funny right now.. you must have missed me and darksom1 jokin about it.. i was just eager to put them on since i got them from hondaacuraworld and havent gotten my front tint yet.. i got my front tint done, 15 front with the 5 i already had in the back and ill put the front two on in two more days. and drip guards? they're window visors, so you could crack a window during the rain without any gettin into the car.. more for the VIP look id say.
