Can you please sent me some pic after you done, thanks nate....

Will do.
I might start these tonight, well as far as getting the foglight cover and DRL's cut to fit. I still need to figure out how to wire up a switch and if I need a relay or not .
I'm an electricle newb.

Looking good! Ever get ticketed having 35% tints? I know you're up in the woods! I'm in the MPLS area and getting 40% next week.

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

Yes, I had a warning the first time, ticketed the second, the cops are pretty strict up here with the tint. I eventually did some research on tint and decided to go with the 50% Formula 1 Pinnacle series tint from Sun Control of MN in St.Paul I believe. I like it a lot. 50% is darker than I thought it'd be.

As soon as I get to clay my car, I'll get some full pics of the car as it looks now. Haven't done those for a while.

Here's a pic of my 50% tint, I think it turned out darker than most people would think 50% would look so I'm very happy with my decision, especially not getting hassled by the cops anymore.

More pix, more pix, nate. I'm just waiting for you to do my LED bro, looking good ...

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

I'll be working on the LED bars very soon. I'm waiting for it to stay warmer out so I can work comfortably and also waiting for my buddy to give me his Accord OEM foglight switch so I can possibly wire the LED's up to that, and put it in the unused spot by the VSA switch so it looks more stock.

Well, looks like i'm back with the RV6 V3 jpipe. I bought it off of "donnieb83" sad to see his car being parted out. Best of luck to you Donnie.

I'll be looking for a resonator for my exhaust to eliminate the rasp. That was the reason why I sold my V3 jpipe in the first place.

Does anyone know of a resonator to buy? Are they all the same?

Tebaz06TL

those are definitely different. not much of a fan of it, but it caught my eyes

1islandparadise

Thanks man! Seeing that you've had more aftermarket Jpipes than I had parts on my car, I know it's going to a good home!

SharksBreath

the magnaflow 10426 is the one you want. it's about 2ft long, and fits perfectly on your exhaust. it'll eliminate any rasp associated with the v3 jpipe/pcds/etc...

here is the link, send them a "best offer" price of $59.99 and that's what you'll pay.

Thanks man, I'll look into that. I installed my Jpipe yesterday and it actually isn't as raspy as it used to be, could it be because I don't have my intake anymore

Here's another new edition. I can take the pride in saying I did these tails myself!!





I also did the white frosted diffuser delete.

Thanks guys. The car was going to get sold this month but the buyer backed out. So now it looks like i'll start buying a few things here and there. Thinking of getting the Aspec sides done now.

flattyblack

wow!! your doing good man! i had my TL for maybe 2weeks and only thing i have done is Tint and lip kit

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

It's a slow progress but things are getting done. Their isn't much else I'm going to do to the car beside finishing up the Aspec kit and a new bumper. Possibly buy a new dremel so I can start my DRL light set up.

nate_0022, where did you get the CBI bulbs? I am also in the land of snow.

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

I got them off a GB on hidplanet for $190, I believe they have another one going on right now.

I love the A6 led bar mod.. does anyone know of someone using the the mercedes bar DRLs? I think they're about the same width and those things are blinding in the middle of the day!

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

I can't remember off the top of my head but I know someone recently installed the W212 Merceds DRL Led's.

can you please send me more pics or send me some information of the led drl and how you are going to install them. I havnt done mine yet bc i need some help or some ideas to where to start.. I would appreciate it greatly...

How can you order these? Their website is confusing as hell

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

You can't order them from HIDIllusionz. They basically will customize a set for you. I had to send my lights in (the ones that are pictured were the ones I supplied them to work on) for them to work on them.

I should have an update for my slow thread in another month, I'm working on a quad set up for my headlights right now!

allmotorTL

Great mods...Looking clean

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

Thank you TRS. Finally get to start my quad projector project.

1islandparadise

Can't wait to see the new headlight setup! How will the low/high beams work? Will one set of projectors be lows and the other set high beams?

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

I'm pretty excited to get this project going. I just need to source a dremel cause I burnt the motors out in my last two somehow. If the wiring harness is right, the bigh beams should work along with my TL's as well.

1islandparadise

^Nice! Well if my stuff wasn't in storage and I wasn't out of the country I'd definitely give you mine. I think I've learned more through the forum not having a TL than I did when I had one....lol. This is definitely setting a new bar for our TL's!

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

Appreciate it Donnie. Once I get the dremel to do my work, I'm thinking of writing up a how-to for the quad set up using the Mini H1's. It really doesn't look hard at all. These projectors are very retro fit friendly because of the threaded locking system on the back of the projector. The only cutting that I can see that needs to be done, is to the 9005 bulb holder. Just need about 1/2"-1" cutting to the bulb holder, grinding the are down smooth, then aligning the Mini's with the TL's, then securing the projectors.

Any new mods Nate? Or is the car in storage for the winter?

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

No, no new mods yet. Right now money is a bit tight. I am working on a new headlight set up right now though.

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

And 7 months later the quads are finally done! Thanks to Rich at HIDIllusionz for picking up where I left off. I originally started doing the retrofit and after about a week of frustrations and fall semester starting I decided to let Rich finish them up for me. He sent me A few pics tonight of the finished product. I can't wait to get these installed this weekend.

omnuts

^ Wow, those looks awesome.. In for pics install

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

Thank you sir. I'll have them installed as soon as I get them. I already have the wiring harness and ballasts mounted. Just need to slap them in and I'm ready to go.

I like the design-I'm guessing that the pictures are fuzzy. I say that because the lens look filmy (not clear)....

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

Yeah the pictures are pretty grainy. I'll update the pics when I get them installed. Looks like he took them with a cell phone instead of his usual SLR photoshoots.

Awesome progress! Can't believe I haven't seen this thread before.
