So here's a little more of an update on my car thus far. As you know from before someone hit me and now on March 23, 2011, someone hits me again. This time it was on the highway(I-88). Here are some pictures of that accident.


After i got it back from the shop i did a little more updates with it. I finally relocated my license plate, i got my overlays put on, got the switchbacks and i changed the rear turn signals to LED also.




Tell me what you think about it so far. And yes i made the license plate relocator myself , thats why it make look a little weird. I still have to change my low beams to 6k and i will do the independent foglight mod. I may also get the wheels put on tomorrow. I will post pics ASAP.

Damn man, thats a blower.

The car looks good though. I love WDP, I almost wish I got one. The black roof looks great too. I've also been thinking about making my own tow hook mount...

Your yellow fogs make me want to install mine...even if they are only accord fogs

Wow, I thought I had shitty luck when it came to my car. Sorry to see that someone hit you again.

Your TL-S looks great though! I finally ordered my black roof vinyl so I can join the club

Theres this website where I got my plate things. It hides the plates and at the flip of a switch, in a matter of seconds, it pops back up. So if a cop pulls you over, flip the switch and your liscense plates appear in seconds than you'll have the cop walking back to his vehicle in confusion. i've already pulled that trick twice. paha'

Yeah i thought about that Swift Plate thing (i think thats what its called). But the only problem i see with that is, since im lowered i dont wanna leave my license plate behind on a speed bump.

did you get your fogs from ddm tuning? I was unhappy with my 3000k fogs looking white in the housing, but yellow on the ground.

ps im moving to chicago in august, hopefully see your car around!

Yes i got my fogs from ddm and i had the same problem. Just get the yellow vinyl overlays and you'll be good. It looks 1000x better and it satisfied me.

O which area are you moving to? I stay mostly in the suburban area, but i work in chicago.

New Wheels with Photoshoot!


Going 45 on the highway makes truck drivers really really really angry.

Yeah I sent him a PM a couple days ago and told me that he was going to send them to me over the weekend. Nothing yet. He also said that hes been swamped with work so he hasn't had time to edit and send the pics. I guess it's just a waiting game.

HURRY UP!! Did you get my text about the Wheels of America? It turns out that they're not connected in the sense of warranty. Its a franchise. And if i wanna fix the cracking clear coat thing, i would have to send it back to where the work was originally done.

Yea the pictures are from someone else that was at the meet. The rolling shot was unexpected after lunch at Chipotle with a couple of friends.

Thank you. I went with H&R Race springs because some guy was selling it on cragslist around the time i bought the car. Overall im happy. Its a pretty good amount of drop (considering that these are springs and not coils). You're going to love them, its worth the wait! i waited 4 months before i installed the springs.

Its already been a year?!?!

As of August 23rd i have officially owned my TL-S for a year now. And its amazing to see how this car has transformed, and even more importantly, I can't believe its my car. So why not celebrate the anniversary with some up to date pictures...

Sorry i replied kinda late, so i just put both of your posts together. Thank you about the color choice, different and being different is sometimes good

Lol, you know how Chicago does it! Cant wait to meet you again next summer at the meet! And ofcourse i have more plans. Refinish the wheels and get bigger lips, coils, some other exhaust work, and whatever else i think of.

Thanks man. They're 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear offset is +45 all around but soon that's all gunna change, hopefully getting wider in the back. Oh i'm sorry, forgot about tires, 225/35 and 235/35 i'm pretty sure...
