Bought a new camera today so I thought I'd snap a few pictures of the ghetto sled. Let me know what you think....

 

nice

 

nice car, but i hate when the dealership tags the back...gonna take that off? Or at least get a discount for advertising for them

 

Actually I did take most of it off just messing around one day. I'll finish it up soon. The dealership I purchased the car from is owned by United Auto Group (i.e. Roger Penske). When I bitched about them putting their name on the back and asked that it be removed, I was told it was company policy not to do that. I then asked when I could expect my check from Mr. Penske for the advertising....

 

mmm gorgeous

 

Great!!


How's about tires? good??

 

Sweeeeet!

 

Well I've liked 'em so far. They've performed well, look nice and have held up better than expected. I would consider putting the same tire back on there. However, living in the Ozark Mountains we do have a few days of snow and ice each year so Toyo Proxie 4's may be a better choice. Its kind of ironic, when I was a kid my dad had a Toyo Dealership so I always wanted to have a car worthy of a tire with a VR or ZR rating.

By the way, I couldn't give higher marks to Falconi Acura in Vegas from whom I purchased the A-Spec kit. Weird that my dealership, owned by United Auto Group which is the second largest publicly traded auto retailer in the U.S., couldn't get it.

Anybody need to buy OEM wheel(s)??

 

looks awesome! love the tint, the tires/rims, and the a-spec kit

welcome to the forum

 

Very nice. Exact model I want to get. What camera did you take the pictures with? Takes great ones.

 

That car looks hot!

 

Nice ride. What tint % did you use? What product?

Thanks,

 

Nice car! It looks like your car is raked a little towards the front (for those who don't know: raked means the front is slightly lower than the back) ..

 

Falconi is where I got my Aspec bodykit and my suspension kit. Oh, and one of my new Aspec rims.

Good people over there.

 

Yo! What's up w/ that body side molding on the right side???!! It's drooping in both pics.. the side shot and the tight right side angle shot.

 

You know, I had never noticed that prior to taking these pics. Since my local Acura dealer sold and installed that side molding it will be covered by warranty. I need to take it back anyway for its FOURTH trip to try to find the rattle in the passenger side door.

As for the tint, I have forgotten the specifics other than the front is 35% with the back being quite a bit darker - this is the maximum allowed in Arkansas. Too many rednecks with guns I suppose.

 

Black A-Spec TL's sure are hot!

 

Yes, agreed...the car is very nice.

By the way, are those the chrome-like rims or are they the polished (hyperblack) wheels?

 

Yup, those are the '05 "black chrome/hyperblack" wheels. Couldn't be happier with them....

 

Well, I have the hyperblack/polished ones (some call platinum) on my NBP, and I really like them, too.

From your pics, yours look more like the chrome ones (which are not the same ones that I am referring to when I say "hyperblack") ; they look more mirrored than the ones on mine. Either way, I really dig yours...looks fantastic!

 

looks great!!

 

one thing i just noticed is that on ur front passenger door, the strip is not as straight as on other doors...

did u have an accident or did it come like that?

or is that just my eyes?

:p

 

Also curious as to what camera you are using.

 

The camera used was a Nikon Coolpix 4600. Not expensive: about $250 at Best Buy. The pictures here are a little "grainy" 'cause they're so big. All and all I'm real satisfied with it.

Da_bien, you're answer is above in post #16

 

Dude! what kind of tint do you have? Im planning to put up tint but not decided yet whether metallic or ceramic! They said ceramic is good if you have navi? need reply! thnx

 

Stone cold pimpin with the A-spec! I shoulda saved up a little bit extra and got one!

 

love it looks like my car, i just need some chrome 18 inch a-spec. I think your rims are the new "chrome look" not the black chrome, can you confirm that? I like them, let me know. Oh and what did the rims cost you? as well as tires. thanks!

 

Man, I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I've lost my paperwork that says what type of tint it is. I can tell you that the glass on the back doors is very reflective - more so than the front doors and back glass.

Don't know if that helps or not.

 

Hey Genius Might Wanna Get Ur Bodyside Moldings Fixed Before You Start Taking Pictures,start With The Passenger Side Front Door

 

Wow, I did not notice it the first time I saw the pic. That looks pretty bad.

 

I am still contemplating on getting the Aspect Kit for my black TL. The dealer had one installed ready for sale for an additional 7,101...obviously List price. The car did not have NAV, so I just bought the TL with Nav and told myself I'll get the kit later. Did you get a good deal on the package?

 

Are those the tires that came with the rim? or did you buy other tires and slapped them on? they look sexy by the way

 

The best price I found and paid for when I bought the car was $1,600 for the entire kit and rear lip spoiler, painted and installed. I have seen quotes anywhere from $1,800-$2,500, you have to do your homeowkr and let these rip off dealers know that you know your stuff.

My car is black also.

 

For that amount, obviously it does not include the wheels and Suspension kit?

Just for the underbody kit the dealer quoted me 1037.0 - 20% = 829.60.

 

Keep an eye (ear) on those tires. they look like Yoko ES100's. I have a set with 9800 miles on them and they are lould (they are supposed to be very quiet). My tire dealer (just saw him today) is ordering me another set of Yoko's (under warranty) (AVS DB S2's) cause the ES100's are not supposed to be lould. By lould I mean you can here the tires 'humming' with the window up.

I wouldn't mind having a full size spare. How much for one wheel/tire.?

 

As for his Tint, I could be wrong, but looks like Platinum Plus Tint

 

that car looks fantastic! those are my fav Acura wheels!

congrats

 

Dude thats a sweet looking ride...

 

That picture looks like it was taken at one of the Lakes properties.

Michael

 

Nice car dude!! Looks like mine except for colour obviously. I have the same wheels. I love 'em See my pics....
