Spring update:
-wheels went on march1st
-lowered the whole car another 3/4 inches
-rolled and pulled front fenders
-repainted calipers
-LED license plate bulbs

Took some quick pics nothing professional but you get the point. The car is so much lower looking while driving. I just couldn't capture it the right way. Fronts are still rubbing badly but there isn't much tire left so hopefully they will stop soon. Still needs an alignment but haven't had time to take off the bumper to get it on the rack. (ramps didn't work)
So enjoy.....

Really want the rest of the aspec, I hate the tails my wife has gotten pulled over 3 times for them. I'd like to get the type s ones. Spent almost 3k on my accord recently so the TL has been on the backburner

Not bad, not OEM but pretty decent and they really finish off cleared headlights well.

Gotcha, well, if you strip the vht (with goof off) you could open up the base reds and darken and smoke the bezel and any other thing inside you like.

Best part, cost you nothing, just the dremel and some black paint and vht you likely have laying around.

They are actually professionally painted from the bodyshop, i would never use VHT on anything. But i can see why you would think that
I would like to do something, i like the 07-08 base tails but would really like some custom one's. just not in the funds right now.
On a side note my wife curbed her first wheel of the season last night avoiding potholes But at least she tried!

^^^wtf?

Pizza...gotcha, man. Yeah, was just the pictures. Sorry, man. VHT can look okay if not gobbed on, then cleared, then wetsanded and buffed!
Custom is the way to go, just figured modding what you got won't cost you a dime.

I'm sure whatever you got in store will rock, man...you're doing it right all on your own.

Great shots. I wish there were cool places like that to take pics where I live.


Any plans to finish the Aspec kit up? (We'll keep asking until it's completed )

Nice pics man, everything is coming along nicely. The lip on these wheels for being 8.5 is so nice. I would love to see how big of a lip they would be in the 9.5 model.

Had to bump this, the car is now for sale i am going to miss this car more than any of my other 20 or so i have had. Expecting my 3rd girl on july 11th so the TL has to go The one thing this car does not do is fit 3 car seats. My new town and country will though. Yes i am selling my slammed TL for a minivan!! I never thought the day would come but the van will make my wife's life so much easier. Happy wife is happy life, not really but gotta do what you gotta do!

I will not be leaving Acurazine though. I have been on countless forums for all the cars i have owned and never came across one with so many nice people and helpful people. I am sure most of you belong to multiple forums like me and see the assholes and D-bags daily. this place isn't like that and thats what makes it great. I am on here daily not a big poster but into reading info and seeing what other great modding minds have for us to enjoy....

The tl was my wifes and i drive a 98 accord that is also for sale. I will be buying a family members 09 altima with 29k miles! great car in mint shape but the forums suck!!! The TL may be leaving me but i will not be leaving here.
thanks, Brian the pittsburgh pizzman....
