New mods on Dragonlord's RJ'd TL

Here are some parts i just put on over the last week, getting ready for NOPI Atlanta.











Just waiting for the CF steering wheel, a MB CF engine shroud, and CF sill plates.

Mr. Desper
I think the wife is splurging as a anniversary/X-mas present. Probably thru AofE on e-bay. I take it your not selling the MB shroud?

With as much driving as I do- you have to be comfortable, and it feels better going thru the gears with it like that.

Unlike 1osunut, I'll spill the beans on the coil pack emblems. From ebay motors, item #Item number: 280139839775.

like $15 for a set of 4. They also have blue Spoon Sports. But the blue is an odd color.

Yeah thanks buddy - looks like they just stick on? Or am I imagining things......LOL Hard to tell in the eBay posting. I think they look cool - it's the closest I'm going to come to carbon fiber in the engine area. Wish I could find one of those covers around......those are sweet!

Yes-they stick on, but it's not good adhesive. Those coil packs get pretty hot, so I also used Hi temp RTV to mount them.

Yes-they fit perfectly. No you don't need to remove the cover. RTV is a gasket maker, any auto parts store has it. The emblems are thru ebay.

I just took mine off- the RTV didn't work so well. They were coming up on the corners. I have to find an adhesive that will work. Do you like the emblems? Which did you get?

I got the CF one and it looks real nice. Since i can't get my hand on the MB carbon fiber engine cover, these will do. what kind of adhesive do you have in mind.

I grabbed a set of CF too - didn't use any extra adhesive - just cleaned off the surface with an alcohol prep before I stuck them on. Did it while the engine was still hot – I think the heat helped them to adhere …………so far so good.

Day 2 still stuck on pretty tight!

Nice find dragonlord….

Thanks- but I have to give the credit to 1osunut. He had them on for the Jay Hondafest. I put mine on hot but they still didn't stick well. I'm going to the auto parts store later this week and see what I can come up with. And by the way, I have coming shortly a ...?

If the Spoon Sports had come in CF I would have bought them. But in person, the CF emblems are AWESOME!
