I may be selling them soon, but the previous owner did decide to curb them...all of them I'll be making a FS thread if I decide to get rid of them

Wow those wheels look great! I love the tails as well. I know you are on S-Techs and can't go any lower, but if the car was dropped another inch, it would look even better

By the looks of the Navigator in the driveway, does your mom own a tanning bed business?

killersrt

I agree that the car would look a little better if it was lower, but this is also my daily driver, so I didn't want to go too low. Still kind of hard to talk myself out of getting coils and selling the spring combo

As for the tanning question, yes. We own a tanning salon. One of the perks to owning your own business and being at a pc all day, is being able to stroll through Acurazine, learning the best ways to lose all your money

Just finished up with the blacked out headlights, ZKW-r swap, and switchbacks

Hopefully having a TL photoshoot this Sunday with the locals, so I hope to get some good pics up.

Very nice ride dude, I am loving the progress. Have you ever thought of removing the body side moldings? IMO they dont flow too well with the lines of the car.

iTrader: (5)

i thought side molding flows really well with the car

to a point that I wanna add it

killersrt

^ I actually just recently had a conversation about them. I think I kind of like having them on also. As of now though, I've got other things to worry about

This is one fear of mine when hooking up my car. Thats crazy man, hope insurance covers everything. How pissed where you? I would go crazy.

Where did you get your footwell lighting from?

2005_AM_TL

i feel u brotha!

killersrt

Yea, I was furious. Had to take everything in me to keep from getting out and beating his ass in the street. Hopefully, insurance doesn't try to dick me around. Guess I'll be needing ANOTHER set of tails soon, since I had these for about a week. Footwell lighting I got from ebay. Some of those generic looking photos that seems to be on every car you search for They're 12" black strips with about 15 LED's on them.

Seems to be the sweet spot, since your collision looks to be in the exact same spot almost Well maybe I'll get a nice new Acura for a rental car

Oh man, Killer.....my heart sank for you when I saw the pics.

VQPower37

o man ... it seems like you have barely had the car and already this! ... hopefully the body shop takes care of you well

killersrt

I agree. This is pretty much my first accident like this too. Lucky me, it had to be in my favorite car so far.



Here's my temporary upgrade Now that I've got the TL, I begin to hate other cars much more intensely. Especially when I continuously compare the two. This car feels like a plastic toy compared to the TL





My car is in the paint shop now, and I should be getting it back Tuesday or Wednesday. Unfortunately, I'll be working 55-70hr weeks, so I'll have to find time for it, but I've got Tein SS's, RV6 front strut bar (may repaint it first), a rear camber kit, and a Progress RSB to install. As of now, I'll be returning to my Axis Penta's, unless they sell before then.

I like the color and the choice of wheels. good combination

killersrt

Thanks . As for the wheels, they're actually for sale at the moment I found others that I think I'd like more. If these don't sell before I get the car back though, I'll be throwing these back on, slamming the car on the coilovers, and getting spacers in the future.

killersrt

Finally got the car back today. Damage was $4,030.74 not including my $310 tail lights. Overall, everything seems ok. Repair work is apparent in some places, but that's to be expected. Only issue I have is getting my car back with my factory radio screwed up. Keeps making a loading sound and won't load/eject disc, nor play the one that is in there.
