Jeremy, It's me who bumped in to an another car


Staying UA6 for sure. I like Base UA7 with Base A-Spec front lip but noh, I want inspire fogs, plus cost will go higher, now all I need is a bumper.

and I have different plans too
Re mod the headlights, take off plastidip from grilles.
Buy new low grilles, keep em stock right now.
When summer comes do better job on cutting them and add CLEAR inspire fogs.

Until winter, will try to open up the smoked inspires and add xenon lens in it like we did to the moped.
But I know, I will buy CLEAR ones and install those. Why clear? Because it stands out more on silver car.

Why I want to remode headlights?
Clear the signal diffuser, darkshades reduces my triton brightness
+
Remove the stupid cover inside the fog. That little thing
+
The side that got hit, headlight had some humid inside, you'll see from the pictures.... sooo want to open it up and close it again

How does it sound J.?
Clear inspire fogs, matching with cleared signal area, and PLUS removing the black nipple from the upper fog will make the clear reflector stand out more... soo good match?

Grille, I want it clear until I decide to paint it... idk not sure


================================


What happened?
Classic left lane sudden stops in rush hour and wet road
Did hit the brakes, was not enough, tried to jump on to the safety lane on the left, hit the Nissan from left, which is my front right side.

Has a little crack and dents but nothing crazy.
On the left side front of the tire, you know the screw that faces up? Screw for the edge.
That part got cracked as well
Just the bumper that needs to replaced, grille and rest looks good.
My fogs are working

I drive the car no problem, which makes me say if I should wait for summer or not, or winter to go away...
Bruce said 260 shipped but I thought they come painted They don't


What are the tags for? What's the point? Searching?

 

Damn dude. Sorry to hear but at least it's not major and nobody was hurt.

I thought they came painted too. That sucks that they don't.

And yes, I think the tags are for searching although I don't find them too useful lol

 

From Austin's thread:
sloth, lazy, dumb, boring, nogirls, photography, gheyhug, tats, inner thigh, salty milkshake, ewww vag, workout twigs, angry youth

 

Liar!!

 

I'm sorry to hear too, Meko...sounds like you have it all figured out. I'd highly recommend you text with Bruce to help you piece everything back together. He's a good dude and gets killer prices on new parts or even sells used parts from all the TL's he buys to take apart.

Text me if you want his number...

 

Yeah.. wasn't crazy, but it sounded like it haha
Naah no paint

Thanks man, I have his number. Haven't texted him about any used once, first wanted to check around Boston. Told him I need a bumper though, he said 260.

How am I going to know if this is OEM? Cheaper

Plus this guy said he still has bumpers for 06 but I have to see it

http://worcester.craigslist.org/pts/4223005911.html

 

It's not...
know how I know?
where's the ACURA indentation?

 

Ohhh

Anil is like... dude go get an aftermarket one incase you go and supercharge the car haha

 

OEM all the way!
Yours isn't salvageable?

 

What do you mean salvageable? Bumper? How?
RonJon front looks good though, and there is one on ebay 300 bucks no paint

Nice avi Mr.

 

Hmmm...well, I've told you before. Stop driving like a dick. Sorry, had to put that out there. I'm sure ice/snow had something to do with it but...well, you get it. No more spankings, I just don't want a dead Meko.

Okay, weld a bit spiked steel bar across the front, forget about a plastic bumper.

 

I am totally serious on driving slow
I swear to god man haha I filled up 2 days ago, not passing 3k rpm ever since, boom I crash

 

Sorry to hear what happened, as long as everybody is fine and nobody didn't get hurt

 

Good

 

Thank you sir... yup

 

Sorry MEKO-snow......

 

Thanks Steven, I just got a car wash and now I see some spider cracks... I think. Lightly raining outside, couldn't really give attention but...
It's liveable but I want to mod something, was looking for an excuse, here we go

 

Good luck brother.

We're supposed to have beautiful weather this weekend. I kept the Stingray home. Anil has the Type S right now.

 

Oh maaaaaaaaaan, why Steven whhyyy We were having fun with it



Nice cover though

 

J.!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this same as the ones you have? Same color?
If it was somewhere like 35 offset...

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/pts/4290847585.html

 

+25 would be PERFECT, Meko.

J's are +29.

 

Damn Meko, now I see what you meant about the bumper, hadn't seen this. Glad you were ok. Roads here have sucked. I've slid on some ice near busy roads, scary when nothing you do slows the car.

Also, those rims look sweet! I would maybe jump on them if they were 18s. I've been thinking of switching my summer set up to 18s.

 

I know Jeremy is running a 5mm spacer in the rear so he is at +24 in the back and +29 upfront....

Meko, I would love you to stay OEM....from the pix you send me, I think its fixable by a good body shop and it should cost less than buying a new bumper....

the only reason I mentioned after market is coz of this:



dat intercooler doe....

Love how you can add a front splitter to that bumper and make it look SICK-eerrrr

 

Wow 9" and + 29, well +24 with spacers
What tires is he running
If I get rims it has to be one that could take 235+ and no scratch
May be I could go ahead and roll

Oh and I am even not sure to run 8.75" with +25
I am like I would get +33 if I go with xxr530

hehe thanks man
Those look great in 19"
18" might look smaller but I don't know since I care about weight and 18 will be lighter

Sell the radar if you could. If no one gets it I am here

You know I tried those assholes to get the rear fixed, no worth it.
Plus I got 2 cracks. Even if I fix it, next time I try to take out the bumper, it's going to crack again for sure

Will see this weekend if I could straighten out that poke and buff out the scratches.
Pff idk, car goes like this too but it's going to bother me.

I can't rock that bumper man, may be RonJon

 

RonJon is a great option....send him a PM (rondog)....

i love the RJ front and sides...am not a fan of the rear bumper....

 

You are serious

I don't like the sides+rear but front, I love it
And add Inspire fogs too. Done

There is one on ebay, 300 bucks no paint

 

OEM IMO K,DOG?
I have the Advan RS.

I'd pick those up before XXR.

 

front and sides is what I like....get on the same page

again, I agree with Jeremy....that looks like a nice deal....

wheels are curbed BUT still fixable

 

Okke man
I started thinking about how winter would be with RJ bumper
Big ass lower fenders feeding water in to my intake very well and etc

I don't like the rims
-19"
-Spokes doesn't finish at the edge
-Think spokes. I like but doesn't really pull my attention on big ass body of the TL


Edit: Fuck sides, too big
I'll buy the wheels and send them to you, you want Anil?

 

not 19x9 hahaha

if you find 18x8.8 +30 OR 18x9 +30, imma take em....run 245 tires

 

You buy xxr, I'll buy too
18x8.75 +33 man
Come on do it

And why 245/40
When 235/40 is lighter?
Ok traction but bigger sidewall?

Oh shit, 255/35/18 might be perfect Will have sidewall of 89.25
235/40 will have 94 sidewall
245/35 would have 85.75 ---- Way smaller than 255/35 and 245/40 is too big

So I pick you pikhacuu I mean 255/35/18
Is there a tire size like that

 

am thinking 18x8.5 +25 with 245/35/18 tires...smaller sidewall....with the 3 options I have picked out, 37lbs/corner....

but am finishing the man cave first...then the wheels

i will be honest, I have thought of just buying some XXR wheels and being done with it...

but something in me doesnt allow me to do that LOL

 

I can't do 245/35 in Boston
At least 255/35

Let's just buy it, tires would be safe as hell with 255/35 anyway, or 245

We'll be ok with 8.75" +33 offset too, well we might have to roll


Why haven't anyone tried xxr535
It has +35 offset

 

i dont think am tucking tire, so i will be fine

 

That's why you want to go with smallest sidewall lol, so could sit lower haha loser

You know, after I got 15mm spacers to rears, I want them up in the front and 20 for rear... soo tempting
Just add spacers and call it a day, looks awesome with stockies buttttt that weight issue

Jeremy said xxrs like 23lbs, 1lbs lighter than stockies at least

 

haha...well no smaller sidewall coz of the weight LOL....

I have 25mm front and rear currently....and love how it sits

 

Yeah I love it too
Wait I have 225s too currently
Are your fenders rolled? Any problem with 25mm at the rear?

Pfff I don't know man, I am scared with spacers that they will not hold strong enough for my driving.
We basically mounting the tires to that spacer, you trust it have to

 

no roll...no pull....

225 tires and 25mm spacers

dont wanna steal your thunder hence the link:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/44051364@N00/11460693464/


you know the whole wheel and tire and brake assembly is held up by one 36mm nut?

yeah cars are scary and hence we respect them when we drive them

 

I'm running 18x9 +30 with rolled fenders, only rubs over little bumps and stuff, BUT! It only rubs the fender liner. Low as hell.

 

^^^ 225 tires or 235?
