Nbp06aspec Progress Thread-Update 1/28/15
So I bought my TL a little more than a year ago with 60k and I joined azine shortly after.
The day I got her (this isn't my car, but this is what she looked like, but mine had a sun roof visor).
![](http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/ravens149/acura_2.jpg)
A few months after I got her I added the aspec kit, type-s rear side markers, lip spoiler, window visors, and I got her detailed.

Shortly after I added the M/T aspec suspension on my 5AT
![](http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/ravens149/DSCF0616.jpg)
Next I added 18x8 aspec wheels
Next I went through a phase of tails the dealer never got the bezel of my type-s tails to match up so I gave up and picked up a set of 07-08 base tails and I tinted the white diffuser black

Within the past few months I added a few mods and I must say the ATLP exhaust is my favorite.
I got a good deal from on member on here that bought some tails from ACK05 that I could pass up. I also picked up an aem v2 intake for a really good deal.

I am really happy with the TL and I only plan to do a few more mods.
Future Mods:
Remove sunroof visor and pickup a roof spoiler
H&R springs
Nbp painted grill

I recently ordered a roof spoiler from bmwoemshop and I got the wrong color, has this happened to anyone? I was hoping to have a update, but it will have to wait until i get the correct color.

Excellent progress sir! Your car looks great! Good choice with the ATLP ![Pimp](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/pimp.gif)
Any plans to get the orange diffuser out of the headlights?

Mods please update the title to NBP06aspec Update 9/1/12
Today I installed blacked out headlights and wrapped the middle bar of my grille in carbon fiber. Let me know what you think. I will post more pictures once I clean the car up.

Quick update. Took the TL camping with some friends and wanted to share a few pics. By the way I saw my dream car parked right next to my TL on my way home, when we stopped grab something to eat, so I snapped a few pics.

The GT-R makes the TL look tiny in that last picture.

Naw....I think the TL holds itself well next to Godzilla.

I couldn't find any brighter pics. Not sure why they came out so dark.
I added a jpipe over the weekend and the exhaust has a perfect sound
. More power and an exhaust that is a little louder
. I'll post up a clip later this week.

Update 1/28/13 Due to some idiot cracking my side mirror, I picked up a set of 07/08 side mirrors. I'll post up better pics once I get a chance to clean the car up.

I'm also thinking of doing HFPCs does anyone have any experience of the sound with j-pipe and atlp exhaust w/ resonator? My question is has any one experienced any rasp with this kind of setup? Also, does the exhaust become significantly louder?

Thanks guys, just a quick update.I installed some hfpc and man these make a huge difference in terms of power. I think I am nearing the end of mods, last mod will be springs or coilovers. I'll post up a video of my complete exhaust setup tomorrow. In the meantime i'll leave this video I found.
