Pictures of DVD player in rear center armrest
My friend had this crazy idea and it actually turned out to be excellent in the end! This install looks mint; like it came from the dealer this way! Armrest folds up and I still have full control over it via remote without anyone even knowing its there...

Well, as for the pics...I used Photosuite and blured out the background...I personally think it brings out the beauty of this body acura better.
As for the DVD player, my friend put it in...I believe its a "Boss". I usually like to go with a brandname, but in this case, for the size, and where I needed it for, this was the perfect application. Does everything, including play VCD's...make them on my laptop and watch music videos in my TL.
So far, I only have video coming out the Nav screen...Car is going in the shop next week for 4 more TV's....will post pics soon as its done!

Installation wasn't too dificult, according to what my friend said, becaus he's the one that did the actual install!

Nice lowering dude and pics. The car looks hot with the wheels and lowering spring combo and along with the OEM bodykit. So how many inch did those TEIN's lowered your car??

Droped the car 1.5".... As for the tires...thats another story! I was looking around and everywhere I got quotes from, they were gunna use 235...so when this guy in Cali gave me a price with tires, I assumed he was gunna use the same! Bad assumption...He used 215's on a 19"x8.5" Rim. They are stretched on the wheel. Looks good in pictures. Ordered some new 235's though, so i'll be changing them soon.

Host some more pics if you have any. Can't see the tread wall as the pics seem a bit dark. Plus would like to see more pics as your car looks great!!!

Now that is what I want my car to look like, after I have done all the aesthetics, and stuff that DVD-Player would be a nice thing to do, but for right now I'll stick to getting my rims and body kit first

Actually, I was quite impressed with the ride...though it was a bit harsh when I put them on, it really isn't that bad as I thought! But then again, most of the streets I drive on here in Long Island aren't bad. I'll host the original pics tonight...

Yes, they are S-tech springs...The ride was quite good in my opinion. The picture quality on the Nav screen is great...colors could be a little brighter in my opinion, but for free, its the best thing!

Nice
Saw your post and wanted to let you know it's the sweetest 04 TL I've seen yet. Nice job. Once you get the 235's, it'll be done. Can't believe someone stretched 215's on 8.5! Curious to know if you will experience any rubbing with people in the back seat once you go to the 235's.

Don't know about the rubbing...the gap now is only about 1.5 fingers, and i have pretty slim fingers. As for the Tv-nav...i used the video switcher from www.avelectronic.com
Those tires are actually about an inch off the ground...the ride isn't as bad as you think! Only thing i scared about now is since the tires are stretched on the rim...one wrong hole, kiss my tire and rim goodbye.

That's a beautiful car! I love the wheels, I didn't notice about the tires until I read your post... 215's! ouch! I would think about color matching the grille, or maybe just the surroud (leaving the ----(A)----- in chrome). That would be unique. Oh yeah, and I love the wheels!
