Just finished putting the new brake kit on then took her for a quick wash









18' MT6 Vita with BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp-2, oem rear spoiler, rear window lip, 20%/35% tint, smoked side markers, chrome TL license plate frame w/Acura emblem screws, red TL tire valve caps, PowerSport drilled and slotted rotors, carbon ceramic brake pads, red calipers, carbon fiber dash trim, oem black TL floor mats, NRG EVO carbon fiber shift knob

 

looks good man some custom headlights and taillights on that and shell be looking

 

Thanks bud! I actually have the Type-S tail lights, but I was thinking that in keeping with the subtle red theme that the original looks better. Still on the fence though

 

look up Red stripes taillights. they look foolish good on NBP

 

I will do that

 

Well you're right those red stripes do look pretty sic! I assume the process is to remove the stock and send them to endlessrpm to have them converted? I wonder though, if it would be better to just send the extras that I already have. They're the DEPO Type-S replacements and it would save me the hassle of having a car with no tails while I wait for the conversion.

 

You have two tail lights right now, one base and one Type-S Depo?

Install the Depo ones, then ship off the base ones to EndlessRPM.
The red stripes tail lights need base tails to do the job

 

^correct

 

Ah, makes sense. I appreciate the info! That will definitely be the next mod

 

Sweet TL.. Damn clean.

 

Nice wheels.

 

Thanks guys!

 

I'm not a huge fan of the red calipers but you've done a great job so far! Consider adding the A-Spec kit...it changes the whole look of the car!

 

Thanks! Yeah the A-spec kit is on my list of mods, hopefully will have that done in a few months

 

Actually, those wheels showcase your red calipers even better.

 

Thanks Steven, that was actually precisely what I was going for. Took me about 3 months to decide what wheels to go with, but once I decided on the calipers it made my decision easy

 

Well executed, young squire!

 

I personally like red calipers (Ihave them too) even though they are not brembos I think they look good for what they are

 

I'm curious, what are your thought on the Red Stripes vs the Super Reds? After careful consideration of all the mods on tails that endlessrpm offers I have it narrowed down to both those of two but I can't decide.

 

Agreed. And I looked into the Brembo big brake upgrade but they were just so expensive. I love the look, but I got my entire four wheel brake kit for a quarter of the cost of just the front Brembo kit. Perhaps in the future I'll get to that, but what I have serves its purpose for now.

Thank you sir! Cant wait to add more, she's well on her way!

 

Same thing I did! Lol. Unless your tracking the car its not needed, its just for looks really. Our car still stops without it lol. I get compliments on the calipers all the time actually. And red stripes for sure

 

So my initial plan was to paint my grill NBP, which I did, and I also debadged her. But after I did it I decided that I didn't really like it. I have seen many other Ziners who have done this and I think it looks really good, but for whatever reason I just didn't really care for it on my TL. So with a little help from the folks at Endlessrpm and some CF vinyl wrap from MetroRestyling I am much happier with the new results! Here's some pics, enjoy!




Just installed the chrome upper trim piece. You can see the black paint mod is already starting to peel





Here it is completed, and I decided to play little with the CF wrap. Much better! And on a side note, while I was a little hesitant, the bumper was quite easy to take off.





I also decided to play a little more with the CF wrap and did the cross bar and re-badged her. I wouldn't say I'm a pro at vinyl wrapping just yet but I do think it turned out pretty good.





And the final touch, for now, the CF inserts on the door sills

 

Very nice!

 

the black mats on that interior look sick, been contemplating that purchase for months now

 

Thanks! Yeah I really love the contrast, now I just need to get my carpets cleaned lol
