well hey folks, the names d.w been surfin acurazine for a minute now so i guess its time to contribute onto here some pictures of my 05 abp tl w/ nav

*please excuse the pics if they came out bigger than the other...*

well this was the first day i acquired the tl



around my neighborhood switching out a bad tire



saw a thread in acurazine about a trunk liner for like 30 bucks or best offer on ebay so i decided to jump on it





now onto the little mods i have done to car

purchased these depo tails and sidemarkers from a very good friend of mines also a member on here javibx



i have yet to install these onto my vehicle ive been pretty lazy lately and ny weather is on/off with the rain

 

some ebay strips i copped to atleast add some touch to this dark color at night

finally got my hands on a rear type s deck spoiler in some anthracite color... took it to a body shop to get it color matched and installed

 

as of 5/25/2013 i tinted out my windows 20% all around and 35% entire front windshield



and thats all for what I've done to my car now.. more mods coming soon

 

Looks good so far!! Really love that color!

 

nice!!! seen your car btw on williambridge rd in the bp gas station it was fresh btw i was in a dgp with tls lip kit and white rear bumper

 

Looks good bro, keep up the good work

 

You friends with the lambo guy eh?

 

Nice op, is that javiBX?

 

Looks good so far. Keep it up!

 

Looking good man!! Keep up the good work! That tint is really dark especially with the windshield tinted. I was going to do mine but decided I like the crystal clear windshield view and settled with a 5% eyebrow

 

I love the orange tl!!

 

Avatar combo!

 

Looks good Hostile!

 

yea i seen you i think it was friday.. you have a nice ccolorway going on

 

thanks everybody i cant multiquote on the iphone
but to answer everyones question yes that is javibx and yes im friends with the
lambo guy lmaooo lol

 

yea i think it was and thanks it looks like shit right now but its paint ill look better

 

update...

ordered the rear window spoiler from ebay seller "bmwoemshop" came in yesterday.. so hopefully by the weekend i should have it on and installed... just need to buy some window weld or something.. im not trying to use the adhesive it came with

 

 

 

ok so i finally had time to install it here goes some pics













please excuse the pigeon excrement on the windows. for some reason when i give it a good wash.... they seem to catch me the next day

but what i used to install the wing was i took the crappy double sided tape it came with and used some 3m double sided tape and also used jb weld on the sides

 

That looks great!

 

Great progress! I love that color TL. Wish it was available with ebony interior!

 

Very nice fitment! Quick question on your trunk spoiler...how close of a match is that to a Type-S trunk spoiler?

 

Love the roof spoiler.

 

its an official type s trunk spoiler that i bought on craigslist.

not much was done.. been busy with my family and work.. but i manage to install my type s depo tails and markers





little teaser**

 

The tails look good.



So.......are you saying that a paint job is in your immediate future?

 

Moar pics of the orange one!

 

yes. steven.... reall realll sooon!

 

Best of luck with that, then!


What color are you going for?

 

 

hey folks time for a update



ok so before i start posting pics of anything the mod i did comes derived from this thread

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/interior-lighting-vleds-360-style-vs-ebay-led-board-878361/

my setup are as follows for my 2 front are 15LED doors/rears are 12LED and these LED boards could be found on ebay. the sellers ebay username is snb331















as you can see my lights are brighter than yankee stadium lol

even with 35% tints on the front entire windshield and 20% all around my car is dark to see inside.. now with these badboys
you can see clearly through my tints

 

Hmn... I spy missing skirts on the orange TL in that teaser photo.
And good updates

 

The new LED's look good.

 

Bump for a fellow ABP owner i am also in the NYC area, i have a hard time believing thats an actual OEM Type S spoiler but if it is much props because they are hard to come by.

 

it is indeed a TL-S spoiler

 

update....

nothing much big here on the updates... just bought me a set of type s rims on ebay



just thinking about powedercoating them im kinda indecisive
im kinda learning more towards a darker more gunmetalish gloss

or a translucent gold *shrugs* lol

 

^^ Leave them stock, with a little bit of brake dust they look plenty dark with just enough gloss showing through Plus they seem to be in mint condition hence no need to shell out extra cash to get them powdercoated.

 

Sweet-Type S wheels win.

 

i might head to Brooklyn tomorrow for some more goodies for my tl

 

Wow, look at those! Can't way to see them on.
