Me and my friends TL's




Nick's TL after we washed them

 

Nice cars. Not really diggin the big Acura symbol though.

 

Same here. Both look awesome other than the huge A on the gas lid

Btw: what's your buddy done to his headlights? I'm diggin them

 

He blacked out the headlight housing and installed blue halo rings (angel eyes)

 

He do the work him self?

 

Please please please stop doing things to your car.

I get it, you're a college kid meaning funds are limited, but if you would stop spending money on little things here and there, you could get some real mods going.

You did a great job with the Di-Noc so finish that up to complete the look and then PLEASE get rid of all of the stickers on the exterior.

DGP is a gorgeous color that you don't see that often. Do it some justice and properly mod your car.

 

Not feeling the plates in the front windshield either

 

DGP has a ton of potential, I just am not feeling all the black. The stickers don't help, but that's just my opinion.

Di-Noc looks good, so definitely finish it up. My only suggestion is to do both the two metal strips running down the dash and the bezel/ring around the shifter in silver CF. It would probably look really good.

 

Next summer when I have a full aspec kit, ronjon rims, and a drop, despite the stickers, it would clean af bro

 

Nice work on the Carbon Fiber. It looks interesting with the wood interior.

 

not really feeling the big A on the fuel door....car will look great with some real mods dgp is an awesome color.

 

DGP Is a difficult color to work with; a lot of the cool mods that work on silver/white cars just don't on the DGP TL; believe me I would know lol.

That being said, Black wheels definitely don't go well with that color. I understand the temptation to do something to make it different from the stock 5 spokes, but on this color, lighter wheels look best. The stock 5 spoke wheels are damn beautiful when in good shape; on any color car.

What we're seeing here are a lot of the mods that someone in college might do; BTW I'm in school to (i'm not really 32) so I understand. The di-noc looks great, you should continue it on the cubby pockets doors; it can be done and I did it on my car before I got the OEM Carbon trim to replace the wood.

You should lose the acura logo on the gas cap, sideways license plates aren't cool (although, DGP on it kind of is). I do have a few stickers on my back window so I won't bug you about yours, but there is such a thing as too much and you're close to the line (but so am I lol). Also take off the plastidip on the wheels or paint them some sort of light silver. You might want to try a lighter gun metal if you REALLY don't like the OEM silver but IMO it looks best on DGP.

In any event, happy modding, whatever makes you happy.

Here's a couple pics of my DGP.

 

quanman, how did you cb the two flip up things under the radio?

 

I think a fashion class is required for the two of you.

 

Those mods would help the cause but the stickers would still detract from the overall look.

I don't think you understand the concept of "clean and simple".

 

 

For those cubby holes. you have to take that whole center console piece out. So you'd remove the two silver garnishes that you've covered with CF right now, then the cupholders, and you take the center console out. There are various screws holding it in place so be careful.

once uninstalled, you can take the covers off of the two doors. There are two screws holding them in place and some glue. You then cover them and re-install.

Pain in the ass, but if you want it to flow well you should definitely do it.
