Thank you...

 

That looks really nice!! what % tint is that and what kind?

 

Wow. You NBP guys are really making a WDP guy drool ! It it were not for the high maintenance of keeping a NBP clean, I would have gotten it. I never tire of looking at them.

oh, I cant wait to have mine.... hopefully in the next week or so. It's a number game with the dealership now!


ed99, what suspension are you running? That looks HOT!
KPTL: I want your wheels!

 

Yeah, what percent tint is that?

 

Cheetah, what percent tint do you have? Thanks!

 

Still wondering about tint percentages...

 

Yeah, I agree the "Black is beautiful" but my last black car made me look like a body builder. had to keep polishing it.

Nevertheless your cars rock.

 

Fugazi: Sorry for the long delay, I got 35% all the way around.

 

Thanks Cheetah! What do you think of 35%? Too dark, too light? Looks perfect to me... originally I was thinking about going 20% all the way around, but I don't want to attract too much attention. I've already received two tickets for not having a front license plate... while I was parked (and not receiving a parking violation ticket or anything). Cops around here are anal.

 

Here's mine - quartz interior...

No mods yet, but planning tint and new wheels (at least!) at some point:

 

I like it. Around here the legal limit is 50% front and anything you want behind.

I have a friend who has 5% all around on his Black on Black RSX-s and it looks sweet.. but he has gotten 2 tickets by the highway patrol. The local guys don't care one way or another he says.. just the highway patrol.

If I could have.. I would have gone 20% all around. but 35% is nice.. It is a nice look on the car and it is definitely cooler in the summer.

 

And another one...

I'm jealous, now I want wheels

 

If you dont tailgate the car in front of you, you wont have chips!

 

Here's mine, taken last April. If it ever stops raining I think it will be time to devote a Sunday afternoon to a full-on fall detailing of similar effort.

 

I really like your wheels. They look like the stock wheels with chrome on them. Are they much trouble during the winter, or do you just swap them out? I've heard that one should not have chrome wheels in snowy climates, and we're driving up to Quebec in January!

 

just dont get a bra at all, i like my cars like my girls ---------> without bra's

 

What size wheels are those bro? Looks good!

 

ok, back from the dead.

My 4 week old 05, 15% Llumar all around just put on yesterday, and a few other minor things (see sig)


before delivery:


mmmm......clean


tint is good, so is a shaved rear end!

 

Thanks - They are chromed factory wheels that I got on Ebay. I don't drive it when there is snow and/or salt on the ground, so i don't know how they will hold up in the winter.

 

I wish that were true, but the factory paint seems very fragile.

 

Thanks. I think it looks even better with the chrome wheels.

I haven't met a lot of TL owners, but it seems like I see more and more on the road every day.

Thanks for the tip on Mr. Tint. I may have to have him redo the rear quarters next Summer. Are you happy with the job he did?

bump for this thread as I am sure there are many more members that would like to post their NBP rides here.

 

 

one of the nicest looking tl in the streetz. I was debating whether to tint my headlights but that pic just convince to do it. nice lookin car tister.

 

Go for the camel, Acura did a hell of a job making it look rich. The camel makes the NBP pop.
I am not feeling that parchment at all.

 

black wheels and a nice tint, and he is done......

 

Go for the parchment! Fake wood belongs on Buicks and people over 65 (IMO)! CF Trim all the way!

 

Who did the grill? Body shop or DIY?

 

^-i love the front end of that car.


im still going back and forth with regards to smoking the tail lights...im probably not going to do it because i like the contrast between the red and black.

 

I love the dish. What size are those rims, and the drop?

 

How much did it cost to paint the front grill?

 

I had the grille done at the bodyshop.

 

I didnt tint the headlights. If you want to tint them, get the rockblocker kit. I had my housing painted with OEM NBP paint. It gives the headlights more of a projector look.

 

Let's not forget about the drop...Tein Super Street Coils

 

are you going to paint the license plate holder in the back to finish off the black out?

 

^-when i get the front painted im going to have the silver in the back painted as well....not taking it to the extreme however
