Looks nice! What size wheels are those?

IMO the only thing missing is a body kit! I think it would finish off the car nicely!

What size tires you have? are you lowered? and do you rub?

I love the dvd in the rear armrest i think that is the best placement ive seen. Some folks put it in the already too small glovebox or under the seats.

jacobtree

What did you do, take out your nav unit, and put in a tv in its place? Or can you buy a mod to play dvds/tv on the acura nav unit.

Funny thing is my flat looks just like yours where the rim was almost coming out of the tire. From there, I change my crappy EL's for Falken's 512.






Car looks great and did you dynomat the whole car? If so, did you manage to get all the rattles out and especially the trunk??

Car looks great, its black, time to smoke those taillights and headlights and I think the look would look complete, you could also paint your grill black as well...

AcuraVic

Man, I thought the same thing when I saw the car (body Kit). Wheel combo looks good. I like mesh type wheels but scared of the cleaning.

SKIUL8R

I love the wheel combo, and nice mods....Black shows off the lines of the car so well. You MAY want to consider de-badging the car to add to your very clean look. Sweet car

Tommygun

Look great man.. How did you wire up the sub in the trunk? did you tap into the stock wiring (like I have read in other posts) or use line-level converters (which I have found to be noisey and "muddy")

Not real fond of the wheels, but they look good on your car. Also your rear quarter window tint needs fixin'

Overall, kick ass job... well done.

PoochaKannInc

From the pics, it looks like you have the 6mt. What is the offset? Thanks.

Will those 9.5's fit on the front? Ya know so you can rotate

SmokeTL

I think rotation is out the window. He will have to swap sides. Funny thing is I asked about that set up a year ago, I was told it wouldn't work. I am glad to see it does.

What is important is that you like them. I love everything else that you have done. Time to save up for the Ron Jon Body Kit. I would love to have the 19's. I bought 18 inch Mille Miglia's EV-S last week. They look insane on my ride. Style wise I just do not think the lines work with mesh wheels. I need to get some digital pictures to show everyone what I am talking about. I am scared to show my ride without lowering the vehicle an inch first. I still like it though.

bigcorporate

I'll start with the wheels/tires, the offset I have to check but I visited 13 diferent shops here in Miami and no one had any idea what would fit. Lucky me I picked up these wheels from a 98' Toyota Supra which also needed the larger clearence for the front calipers The sub is wired in with a converter to the factory sub line in the rear, this allows me to control gain through the navi and ports the enclosure through the factory woofer opening. The video was done with an avelectronics.com convertor and works great overall:::HOWEVER::: be very aware that interfacing the audio will be something like pulling teeth. As the installers began to remove trim paneling to get behind the radio it became very obvious to me that I would rather modulate and lose audio quality rather than continue dissecting the dash which was already taking over two hours. If someone comes across a difinitive solution to interface audio without losing the XM please advise. Anyone looking to lower this car should highly consider the EIBACH kit I'm more than pleased with their quality/performance.

Any other questions/sugggestions let me know

Car looks nice, not crazy about the rims. Just my opinon.

Thai.95LCoupe

My fav. rim.. Nice.. An a-spec kit and drop would do the car right.

crazymjb

Rims are definatly more business like then sporty, other then that the car is great.

VelfarreClubber

bigcorporate do you have the eibach pro system? or just springs?

ayethetiense

nice, but all that work... and your rear quarter window isnt tinted properly. what a shame, ever thought about havin that fixed?

car_lost

very nice! i'll be sure to honk at you if i see you

where did you get the work done?

RawDogg

Is this the EIBACH Pro-kit with the 1.0" drop all the way 'round?

bigcorporate

As far as the lowering it is the EIBACH pro-kit system and it's about an 1"+ all the way around. If you dont have anything in the trunk i.e a sub box, the car is going to sit higher off the ground in the back than what you see in the pics. All suspension work was done locally at "Miami Chassis" which has something like 15+ year doing this kind of work. I got a full lowering and camber adjustment for what I felt was a decent price considering the quality of work. The wheels have been comemted on and I always get two extremes. Either you love or hate them and consdering I was laughed at when I told everyone I was going staggerred, I'm very proud to say that I would never consider another wheel. As far as the "quarter tint" :whocares: here in MIA we usually keep the tint on for a short time in the peak of summer, I've just been too lazy to take it off, will post more pics on cardomain soon.

VelfarreClubber

Like the car and the staggered look! i thought about doing that but heard it creates more understeer on fwd cars? by the way, why did you decide to go w/ kicker and rockford fosgate, I used to have a fosgate amp and the new JL blows it away! anymore pics.. let us know

Nasty188

The car is off the fucking hook bro , i have a black 04 TL myself and wanted to put those same exact rims but i was looking for "20 inc" for some reason there not to popular cause every one keeps telling me not to buy them and regarding the quarter tint they can't seem to reach all the way cause mines are the same way !! so forget what every body says bro , your shit is off the hook !!!

niz181

hot all u need is a kit and your good to go

kyle-wdp

Sorry to Hijack but you need to post pics of the MMs, I thought about picking those up for my ride.

LessisBestmakingendsmeet

Staggered on FWD = :gheywave: :gheywave: :gheyfight: :gheylaugh: :gheylaugh: :gheylaugh:

kyle-wdp

I wouldn't have done the stagger either but the wheels are gordeous....and they were originally intended for a Supra

RawDogg

Bigcorporate... SICKKK RIDE!! I def love the staggered set up as I want to go for the same....

One question, how does the 9.5 sit in the rear??.... I was under the impression anything more than 9.0 would rub in the back?..

Its refreshing to see a UNIQUE TL, because for some reason many other TL's out there that look EXCACTLY the SAME....AFTER they modify the rides!!

Yours is unique and MAAD props!
