JayVee's 3G TL

Yes...with the low low it was on the stock 17s, it would have been way to low! Worse then before. But I raised it only 1in so it kept a nice Honda/Acura stock but performance look accenting with all the trims I still have on the car. Just like it was in the early pics...It was lowered there on TEIN springs so, its just about the same if not identical height now.
all I know...Is I am pissed! I knew not to ship these wheels. Its been nothing but back breaking go here and go there and a fkn money pit to ship em as agreed. Buyer paid $250.00 and thinking that should cover or there about the shipping cost to WA State (Ouch!)...it was not! And it would have been a bigger PITA refunding the $. So in the agreement between buyer and I, I agreed I will cover any additional fees....FK ME! I got totally screwed! And I am so glad I am over this modding and TL shyt! I am sending them today at the cheapest price I can find in different pkg options also ~ $325-350 via UPS...plus I am $50.00 is supplies making sure they arrive 100% safe and sound. Total FKD OUT OF $150.00+ out of pocket!
...at least my last buyer from the 19s when ran across this issue offered to pay half of the overage even when I said I would cover over the agreed amt...That dude was a class act dude to begin with...But whatever! What can I do... BEND OVER!
...Thanks for listening

if it makes you feel any better, Josh...it's just money, and it's to put a headache behind you. AND, I once got ripped on some Tein SS used that were listed as in perfect condition and ended up being blown and used and abused...I got fkd out of shipping to me and from me to the tune of about $150 also. Painful, but put it in the past...this guy paying $250 for shipping is already absolutely nuts IMO.
I've found that UPS is sometimes cheaper, or maybe look into greyhound? Might be able to salvage!
Also, you do spacers on your stocks?

I will tx him now and explain. Thanks!and trust me! $250.00 is crazy! But he resides the furthest possible state from Fl... We are here in Fl which is very S.E corner of the US...He is the very N.W corner of the states...A few miles from Canada!
So u can def see where the cost of shipping is going....and No, no spacers as of yet. I would really like to get my hands on some ASPEC 18s but now is not the time for the TL.

I should lowball offer you to buy these off you now, since I'm right down the block...lol... 
I'd just suggest a phonecall, Josh...I hate calling too, but in a case like this, conveying the message/frustration and tone via text will be hard.

I shipped out my VS-XX on Monday to TN and it cost around $250 total via UPS inclusive of two boxes. Fed ex was around $240 for wheels only. My buyer got them yesterday. I feel your pain trying to drive around to find the best price on shipping. I hope everything goes well with you.

Good Luck Dude... and read read read...lol!

I am and was...Yes it was a "TESTING WATERS" scenario and just so happens, a dude went to the bank and applied for a loan and was approved. Today he came over to see it himself in person and fell in 
at 1st sight... Now we wait till Tues to follow up with more details then that. Thats all I know as of yet, nothing is 100% and considered 80% SOLD as of now. ATLP V1 goes with the car since he knows about it. Sorry Jerm.Oh...since someone is bound to ask, $14,000.00 ONLY because he is a Ol'Friend of mine. But I was asking $15,000. I am taking a HUGE!!! Loss...But that is to be expected and "CHARGE IT TO THE GAME"

Hmmm...How do I say this w/o sounding soft or sounding as if its good-bye for good or getting all mushy? ...
SEE YA LATER BITCHES!!! ACURA TL SOLD!!! 
No, for real...This has honestly been the best forum I have ever belong to. It was truly a amazing experience and a pleasure to become interweb friends with many of you and considered some as if we were neighbors. I will still remain here talking shit, bussin ballz and helping others...I GUESS! with fitment issues and etc... But my time is over.
I came... I saw... and I conquered!
*** Be looking out for a few misc items in the FOR SALE THREAD...Nothing crazy, just odds and ends left over I still remain to own after the car is fionalized in the next 2-3days.

You're not impulsive at all, right? Like, not one friggin bit?
LOL...if you couldn't convince yourself that the TL was going to be a great "Daddy" and "Family" car...I am scared to know what you'll get next! Although I do look forward to seeing whatever it is. I don't think any other member has gone from annoying newb with a billion questions with a wacky set of wheels and no clear direction for the car, to a veteran fitment guy with a respected set of wheels, cool supporting mods and a sexy stance to the car being fukin retired and sold in such a short amount of time.
Ok, so I'm happy and mad at you for selling out. If that didn't come across...
Seriously though, Congrats Josh...glad you got what you wanted and will move on to bigger and hopefully better things. Hope you do stick around for the proverbial internet nut checking that always ensues.

^ Couldn't have said it any better. You were an asset to the community, Josh!
No matter what car you find yourself in next, I can only expect great things from it. Keep us posted on whatever direction you take, even if it's a simple "hello"
