First cool, partly cloudy day we've had here in a while so good detailing weather. Spent a good solid 6 hours today washing, claying, and waxing the car, complete with exhaust, wheels and tire cleanup.

Of course when I get done, there's storm clouds rolling in FML so I rushed out to get some photos. I intended the weather to be better, and thus be able to set up a better camera, so I'm kinda upset about that.

But alas, I had to take something! So here we go, more CBP a-spec pics to help out the .02% of newbies who actually use the Search button to find pics instead of posting " HI LOL I'M NEW ANYBUDDY GOTZ aspec CBP pics 4 mee?!"

DAMN that looks good.

Anyone who says A-Spec is nothing special or is overrated is a fucking retard.

No joke the drought this summer made it really hard to find a good day to clean the car up. Hopefully you fare better than I did and don't get rained on.

Now i gotta wash the car again tomorrow ;/ Rainwater here is diiiiirty

The summer was so hot and humid I only washed it during the evening, not enough time to do everything. Tried during the day once, ended up in the neighbors pool about an hour into it

The A-Spec is nothing special and is overrated.

I'm dropped on H&R already but the rear suffers because I'm on the TL diet - removed a couple hundred pounds so it doesn't sit as low. You shoulda seen it before that - thing looked like a frickin monster truck lol

In spring I'll be looking at fully adjustable coilovers for sure!

sapanpatel123

Car looks great! From what I see in the pics, the driver side rear lip is sagging a little, just get it above the edge on the bumper and you're golden!

Beautiful. I need an Aspec kit now!

Were you able to get your Aspec kit from the dealer or through AckTlwhateverhisnameis? I was thinking I'd have to buy another color and have it painted CBP.

Very nice.....










.....now drop it. Your A-spec kit will look much better with a nice drop.

CBP is one of my fav Acura colors. Car has a nice clean look so far.
Dang that's my old stomping grounds. I was just up there last weekend, and enjoyed some Kopp's down the street! So wish we has Kopp's in TX.

1islandparadise

Very clean CBP TL-S! Makes me miss mine......

rossv1

Get another one Donnie. haha

The more I see the Type S Aspec kit, the more I want to buy one....

invert.mini

I like the aspec kit.. without the drop.

i_love_cars

iTrader: (1)

yessir, that's exactly who I got it from.

He had to source the CBP pieces from several locations across the country, though.

Ironically I used your posts for inspiration to try out the H&R springs on stock suspension

So those photos are actually on those springs - before that, the car sat MUCH higher, like a monster truck.

with Wisconsin winters I'm still a bit concerned about dropping the car too much further, but we'll see

no doubt, Kopp's is good stuff. Let me know if you're ever back in town again!

^^^ Glad to hear I could be some inspiration!

Hey, I can be of some more assistance to you too....in the lower right hand corner of each post-the middle icon is a Multi-Quote button. It allows you to respond to multiple people in a single response. It will like like this (above) when you're done!

car looks great. you dont see to many cbp on aspec wheels

Wow. I dropped my car with H&R Sport springs and it was much lower; Did they "settle" yet?

Very very clean though.

Here's what mine looked like, same rims, H&R Sports on Stock 08 Base shocks.

i_love_cars

iTrader: (1)

yeah, they've settled at this point but they definitely dropped the car, it's just a matter of how much.

Keep in mind the AT is heavier in front so the drop tends to be a bit more noticeable on an automatic, and I've done a good chunk of weight reduction in the rear - seats, kickpanels, seatbelts, airbags, trunk lining, spare tire, etc. which contributes to a noticeably higher profile in the back.

I'm still up in the air on getting a fully adjustable kit for a lower, more precise drop

lol, the funny part is that as I was making my third response there, I was thinking that exact same thing haha and I half expected someone to come on and point it out. Sure enough, someone called me on it

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Hey, glad I could help on that too.


That button is great-it makes things SO much easier.

Nice pictures! The more I see CBP, the more I like it.

Rickyp39

Damn man I WISH my CBP was a a type s with a kit and to top it all off a 6 spd. It looks awesome man and awesome pics.

If you ever wanna get rid of those aspecs I'll buy them off ya

AWESOME new pictures

Dat ATLP

i_love_cars

iTrader: (1)

plan for it and make it happen! I loved my '05 but it was auto and I made the decision that I just had to go back to driving a manual again, so I took some time to line up the cards to make this car a reality. Every second driving it I feel it was worth it.

can't go wrong with ATLP non-resonated is insane, the guys at the dyno were commenting among themselves about how mean the car sounds for only being a V6.

I have decided that I'm completely addicted to photos of the TL. For years I hadn't spent much time in the photographs section of the forum, but now that I have, I can't believe how many awesome looking rides we have on this forum.

I have a new appreciation for pics of the 3G TL and I'm tracking more peoples' progress threads than ever before.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

It's a great looking car and awesome pictures like yours make everyone appreciate it even more.

I know my car isn't much but I still enjoy taking pictures of it. It's a fun hobby but it can get pricey with lenses and such

i_love_cars

iTrader: (1)

Your car not much? You mean your WDP with a-spec lip and gunmetal a-spec rims? That car looks awesome lol wtf are you talking about.

Your car was my original inspiration for getting the a-spec wheels. I originally wanted gunmetal (I still think it would look good on CBP), because your asparasocks thread is always near the top of the photos section so I stumbled upon it when I started thinking of modding the aesthetics of the car. Saw the gunmetals and said to myself MOAR A-SPEC GOGO

Very nice TL-S. The MOD's are perfect in my opinion and not over done. Simple and plain, just the way I like it.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Yes that's me and that's quite the compliment, thank you!

I think A-Spec wheels are underrated here on AZ. I had a chance to trade mine outright for a set of Works but I decided against it because I feel like Works are more common than A-Specs.

I'm glad you were able to find pictures of my car in my cluster-fuck thread

i_love_cars

oh believe me, I was definitely concerned that I would not find my way out of that thread until 2013
