Im not going to any meet with a stock TL. You guys can go ahead.

I'll wait until my wheels come in. I'll PM you guys when Im ready.

Oh.. one question.. did the RJ kit bring the car lower? I thought you already had minor drop, but now that you mention it, I was wrong

Its not a problem of them getting it right. The acura bumpers are painted in a different factory then shipped to them. They need to paint the whole thing on the same day with the same base coat. But I do agree it needs to be fixed it sucks ass stock.

you gave it away mad...but you forgot to mention the diamond studs for the rivets. Im going to be a trend setter. No one can touch me then. Dont worry.. I have it all planned out... I will have police escort at the day of our meet. And to expedite things that night, I also plan to have a hearse trailing me ready for those who want to step up and take a chance.

She's absolutely stunning! RJ did an incredible job with the rims and kit. If I had to do mine all over, I think it would look like yours.

Well I have talked to trancemission about meeting in Dallas sometime this yr. I was thinking more of spring break time.. but Im still waiting on the rims to finish. We can all make a road trip later on and show Dallas what Houston is all about.

Austin is a lot closer too.. who knows. First things first.. we will meet in Houston.

stocktl, is that where everyone meets now? I've been hearing a lot of different hotspots, but nothing like the ones I used to go to yrs ago when I had my Z. First the hang out was on Westheimer on Hwy 6 by the Uhaul place and gas stations. Then it moved over to Miami Subs. After that, it died down and I got out of it and dont know where is the place to be especially for the serious racers. Damn, i wish I had a supercharger with those headers now. It would compliment the wheels Im sure.

All I know is the meet is gonna be quite big, with at least 60 cars. Check out houston-imports site for details.

Hey Jrbn2g04AcuraTL, that's a nice car. I'm from houston also, I have a 04 anthracite, havent done any major mod. just the shaved door handles. I was planning on clearing out the headlight and installing a mesh grill during the winter holidays but got sidetracked with other projects. Nice to see a RJ bodykit in Houston

I passed by there to see what the hype was all about since I live 5 mins from there and it was packed!! Its been a while since I have seen a nice car meet. Looks like they pulled it off. A G35 & 300z crew was just pulling in to the parking lot. Tons of them. I didnt drive through it but drove around hoping to get a glimpse of the RJ kit. Now I know why I didnt.
