Haha its fine, i usually go to my neighborhood dealer, they're pretty straight forward and sometimes they're nice. The dealership is on Waukegan Rd in Morton Grove.

Yeah i have race springs, people always thing that im on coils. Now i can't wait till i'm actually on coils.

Well i live around the Skokie, Niles area. I was just around that neighborhood because of Wekfest at the McCormick Place. The show got boring, and then we left to take pictures.

Sounds like a plan. But the season is over . I went into winter mode already, but when the weather gets better i'm down.

Any updates? Car looks good. For some reason I think your brown. I am brown as well, but if you are not don't take offense LOL.

You have H&R race on stock shocks? No problems? I know the H&R race are aggressive, I am getting neuspeed sports which are somewhat aggresive 1.75 drop......I want to put them on stock shocks, since your on stocks with H&R race I think I will do the same.

And you're right. I'm Paki haha. But yeah I'm on race springs with the stock shocks, no problems at all. So I'd say go for it. I'm actually going to get rid of these springs and move on to coils...Hopefully my summer setup works out

Alright guys i know its been a while, but better late than never. I havent updates this thread since last season. My car has been in the garage this past winter and when the roads were clear and i missed the TL, i would take it out. This is when the JDM season opener was, it was in stock mode but still lowered on H&R Springs

But while this beast was waiting of its time to shine in a garage...i was busy ordering...

This picture was some of the things I ordered that was waiting around to be a part of the TL. RV6 High flow cats, ISC N1 coilovers, front skunk2 camber kit, rear ingalls camber kit camber kits and a RV6 strut bar...It was like the Christmas i never had (I'm muslim, we don't celebrate Christmas...).

All the items you saw in the previous image was TRIED to be installed in one day by my friend and I. Wow who know what a BITCH the HFC would be to install. We ended up spending 11 hours on just the rear suspension and the HFC. The next day, we worked on the front suspension. We were so exhausted and bored, we just wanted to have fun, so we maxed out the rears...


Now on to the wheels. As you may have seen I had Lambo Orange VS-XX 19x8.5 in the front and supposedly 19x9.5 in the rear (Later on we find out that it was a 19x10) with a offset of +45 all around. So i wanted a new setup, I bought new 3" lips for the rears and put my old rear wheels in the front. Now after this conversion i ended up being 19x10 all around, offset...I HAVE NO CLUE. But on the bright side i didn't need a big dumb ass spacer in the front to clear the brakes. I also got the wheels powdercoated a different color (Thanks to NITROUS for getting me interested in this color)



I like the color and SOMETIMES i like the way they look...but the only thing i hate about this color is the way they look at night...I payed and asked for a candy purple, i didnt even think about night time when there isn't any light. If you're confused by what I mean, here..



My wheels look black!!! That is what i didnt expect but hey shit happens and i tried to make the best of it...ONLY TAKE THIS CAR OUT WHEN THE SUN IS OUT!

There was a show coming up that B96 and BOOM entertainment had and I wanted to be a part of it. Me and my CANDY BLACK Wheels. So me and some other friend went to see other people's cars and just enjoy the summer sun and hang out with friends...


Then the Judging started and the awards were announced...AND THE BEST HONDA/ACURA GOES TO SAMAD USMANI WITH THE TL...(that was a good feeling!)


This trophy was the first i ever won and it was a pretty big one too (ALL HOMO lol) it was "almost as big as me"...

Now i'm gunna stop typing and here are some random pictures of the car...THANKS AND ENJOY

Thank you. But as of right now, i never checked how low I am. I still have to lower the front another 1/2". Then I think it would be perfect.

And if anyone was wondering...I running 225/35/19 in the front and 245/35/19 in the rears

I knew there was a thread that talked about a local place to black out the roof, but I couldn't remember where a read it a few months back.

Car looks fantastic man. I'm out in northwestern suburbs, North of Elgin, I'll have to keep an eye out for you if I'm ever in your area.

Oh yea, wanted to ask you about your windshield too. Do cops ever give you any grief about the tint? I'd love to have tinteduptls do mine, maybe even just 50%, but not sure how much attention it brings.

Cops don't give me shit for my windshield. There's no way they could even measure the windshield tint. I have 45% (which is close to 50%) and i like it. But i might get 35% to match all the other windows. Tinteduptls has like 7% all around with 35% on the windshield. He earned his username lol.

Here are some new pictures for your viewing pleasure. Some are old and some are new, I'm worry if they're re-posts of previous pictures.

I had a mini shoot with some friends after a nice lunch. Their cars were washed at a car wash...Nature washed mine.










^^THAT IS NOT ME!!^^









These next pictures are from a show called Another Level. Kibbles, tinteduptls and RL Chitown are also in the same show...














Beginning of this season...

what kind of rotor/pad set up is everyone running?

need to swap out front rotors/pads and considering slotted or drilled/slotted. seems most people are either on the brakemotive or excelerate set up.

Lets see the new setup Sam!

And I thought I saw you again today actually but I knew it wasn't you because this was a wdp base. Now that I think of it it was the same one that I confused you with last time. I wonder if he is a member on here.

He's lowered with aspec kit and some black wheels with a polished lip and some blacked out 07-08 base taillights with the grill blacked out.
