2007 Acura TL, Carbon Grey Pearl, Black Leather, Navigation, 5AT, 29,400 miles

Purchase Date: 7/2/2010

Stock Pictures:

 

First mod, lip spoiler (going to paint this week):

 

Nice...Where did you get the spoiler from?

 

Plans for the recent future:

Paint calipers, drilled rotors
Type S side markers, and maybe Type S Tails
Color match bar in grill

More to come...

 

The seller is kyonick on Ebay...they sell these spoilers painted, however they told me that they wouldn't be able to match CGP perfectly? So I just had them ship me an unpainted one and I'll have my body shop guy spray it. It was only $40 shipped

 

good first mod.......

 

Good mod, car looks good. I still need to get the lip spoiler.

 

Nice pick-up on the car! Way to start a build thread from the get-go
d-town, I will buy you a viper

 

Thanks guys...I love keeping track of my cars.

I have a huge build thread of my mustang on another forum:

http://sn95forums.com/index.php/topic,37973.0.html

 

is the spoiler really bendable?

 

Yea, it came rolled up in a box. Its very flexible...its a hard rubber/plastic.

 

Finally got my mustang back from the convertible top shop around here (rear window broke, insurance job)...

First time the kids got to meet each other

 

 

I'm gonna bolt my mustang wheels on the TL this weekend for the hell of it...same bolt pattern, we'll see how the offset works. They are 18x9 18x10s...265/35, 295/35s...what do you guys think?

 

^^^^i hope the kids play nice with each other!!!!lol

 

yea throw them on and check it out....cant hurt!

 

Haha I think my mustang is a little pissed at me for getting the TL...my mustang is running like shit. I need to replace the intake manifold, plugs, wires, air filter, oil, midpipe...blah blah I've been neglecting it lately...too focused on the TL

 

^^^^Haa....that's a Ford for ya'......

 

I like the Saleens on the Stang better The top level of the parking garage looks familiar between threads haha

 

Saleens? The mustang wheels are FR500s...

Haha yea I take pictures on the top of the parking garage a lot.

 

Wheels didn't quite work, haha, they are already back on the stang:











Only have a tiny side shot (digital camera died, shitty phone pic my friend took):

De-badged the car yesterday as well...pics to come.

 

lips, drop, gun metall vsxx and you'll be golden!

oh yeah also a bunch of tasteful mods lol

 

Oh my lanta! One contradiction eating another! And I was looking at your build-thread on your stang, when you had the saleens on it?

 

 

295s on a TL FTL! I've gotta give you a for trying it out though!

Let me know what you think about the products that you ordered from paintscratch.com. I have a few parts for my car that I've been thinking about painting and I've heard pretty good things about that website.

 

Ahhh ok...yea I really liked the Saleens as well (sold them to my buddy a couple years ago), I might be selling my FRs and going back to Silver Saleens. I'm tired of the murdered out look. I'm trying to get him to sell them back to me haha

Thanks man...I figured why not? The offset is completely wrong tho, the wheels looked retarded on the TL

I've heard good things about paintscratch.com...as well as automotivetouchup.com...the spray can was like $25, $15 for clear, and another $15 for the 2oz touch up. My buddy is pretty crafty with a spray can, so hopefully we can get the spoiler to come out good. I just didn't feel like paying $100+(quote I was given) at the body shop. I only spent like $75 total and I'll have some paint left over, as well as the touch up paint. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Debadged:

nice

 

DO work son.. DO WORK

 

I keep telling myself I won't mod this car...but I just can't seem to stop ordering parts for it...

Did I read correctly that TLs have a slight vibration around 65-75 mph? Or do I need to take this bish into the dealer and demand a smooth ride

 

I had a case of the shakes, I baught my car with almost brand new BF goodrich G-force tires, one of my rear shocks failed, underwarranty it was repalced. replaced the tires with Yokahoma 520's and the shake went away... That was the one thing i hated most about my car, and if i would have got rid of it.. it would have been the only reason, took it to the dealer a bunch of times for this issue and they jewed me everytime...

 

Hmm I'll look into it...I opted for the 5 yr 100k miles extended warranty...so I'm definitely gonna have them look at it. Its pissing me off.

 

x2

 

Damn you are wasting no time! Not a bad thing though
