Marx's '05 SSM
Hey guys new member here from 604 (canada)just thought of posting my ride
feel free to comment and I'm also open for suggestions as well...(will get better pics next time)thanx in advance
picked her up back in october its an 05 with dynamic package(brembo,torsen lsd & 6spd)
3 days after i got her (came with a spec wheels)
A week after AEM v2 CAI installed
Mid muffler was deleted days after...
also got me a set of work xc8 18x8.5 35 all around
testfitted(crappy phone pic)
had the tein ss on my accord before but i guess she's just gonna be on stech springs for now.
also got the aspec kit box was a little damage but the package itself is in good shape.really glad I was able to get into that group buy(can't believe richmond acura wanted 2800 + taxes for these)
ordered the type s tails from burrard acura which has way better customer service than RA oh and richmond acura wanted around $400 bucks for a pair of these type s tail lights when i got them at burrard acura for 218 taxes in delivered to my work at no extra charge(somethings really weird about that RA dealership!!!)
installing both the aspec kit and type s tails this wednesday!!!
got my type s rear side markers from ack as well.
also adding a little more bass to the stock sound system(10w6v2 & exile 600.1)might add the farad capacitor i had on my previous set up as well
I guess that's it for now guys...thanx for looking

Sweet ride dude, post some pics once you get the sexy aspec kit up.
EDIT:
Holy shit, just read your price quote from richmond acura, did they really want $2800 for the full aspec kit?

as for the aspec price yah that dealership is known for having the worst customer service and for ripping people off as well.I just dont understand how are they allowed to jack up the price when other acura dealers are charging regular prices.i work at a dealership too but dayum those guys...

will post pics as soon as im done with the complete kit install.also i have a problem with my tail lights that i bought brand new from acura.I've noticed condensation already but only on the edges tho so for sure its not the gasket coz condensation is only on the outer part plus its only on the passenger side.would acura take it back as a parts warranty eventho i did the install myself?here are the pics

What a nice car and picture story of it progress. Keep the photos coming. I am still amazed by how "current" the 2nd & 3rd gen TL's look in the sea of 13' cars.

Nice progress!
Dont worry, The condensation is normal. I freaked out too just a bit after installing 07/08 Base tails not too long ago.

Water on Top of the Taillight
Housing? It’s Not a Leak
Currently Applies To: ’07 TLs
The ’07 TL comes with clear taillight lenses instead
of those familiar red lenses seen on earlier models.
Because these lenses are now clear, it’s possible to
see water sitting on top of the taillight housing after
the vehicle has been washed or rained on.
Don’t replace the taillight—it’s not leaking. The water
you see isn’t really inside the taillight and it doesn’t
affect the workings of the brake lights or the running
lights. Over time, that water will simply evaporate, but
if you don’t want to wait that long, it blows out easily
with compressed air.

thanx guys,really itching to install the complete kit,and also looking at the rear for awhile i think i need a decklid spoiler as well,i wasnt really planning on getting it coz tl looks cleaner without one on a stock car but after putting the rear lip i think its a must for me now...
since i dont have any new pics of the tl hope u guys don't mind if i post some pics of my summer ride just to keep u guys entertained...
