Nice car ghost. Arent tinted tail's ok as long as the brake/reverse/turn signals are distuingishable? I wanted to tint the headlights 38% but I didnt want to dull out the brightness of the headlights, so how does it look? And how do you get the TPMS transfer?

You'll have to check local laws on the tinted tails.. I'm guessing there's a 90% chance they aren't allowed anywhere but I don't know. Personally, I don't like them that much ... because then the only thing left on the back of the car that's not black ... is the license plate ... and then I would be tempted to but a black cover on that, lol !
As far as the headlights, I didn't tint mine, I painted the headlight housing inside. That didn't make any difference on the light output or anything so I could recommend doing that. Close up pics of the headlights ... click here
The TMPS transfer ... you just have to go to the parts counter at Acura and get new sensors/valves. They are like $44 dollars each. Then install them on your new wheels. Otherwise, you'll have the little message center, in the guages, always saying there's a problem with the tire pressure and you cannot disarm the TPMS.

Thanks a lot!
Btw People: I had to come to an emergency stop the other day and let me tell ya ... those new rotors work great! :-) Plus, they cool down faster so I don't have to wait so long for the brakes cool down before I wash the rims. Ya know like if your driving your car around all day, then go home to wash your car, but you can't just go pour water on the brakes which cause them to warp. Well now the time for them to cool down takes less time!

Thanks a lot. Yeah, it was taken my a professional photographer. We got a few hundred pics from that night after we got the stage lighting all right, etc. But the best pics are the ones you see in my thread here.

Sorry for not writing ya'll back quicker ... I rarely get on this site anymore.
I took it to a body shop. Some body shop's I went to said "it can't be done," but obviously it can if you look at my car, haha. It was a place in MD.
Thanks a lot man!
Thanks!
I could barely tell the difference switching rims and tires. The thing that really affects the ride tho ... is the Eibach springs. I suggest goin with the Tein SS coilovers. But I have hit some of the cruciliest pot holes and they've never popped. So the rims and low profiles are tough.
Thanks. ha
Thanks, haha

G-burg, looks like we're in the same neighborhood. I'm a bit amazed I haven't seen your car around yet though :P
Those first few pictures look VERY familiar to me, cept I can't put my finger on it. Anyway, beautiful pictures man, hope to see you in upcoming meets and events.

twinair - haha, thanks bro.
eurtsx - yeah, i'm amazed you haven't seen me either bc I drive like 30,000 miles a year so I figured everyone around my way has have seen my car by now, haha. Those first pics were taken from the newer Benz dealer in Germantown. Cya man! (Btw: I like what you did with the front end, looks good)

ballinfizzle89 - haha, thanks man. I wish I liked mine as much as I use to. It's a lil banged up now. 3 wheels scratched a little because it's such low profile and the trunk lid is dented. But when it's moving ... it looks perfecto! haha I still break necks all around my area tho! :-)
Prolly c u around a meet later in the spring/summer.

The last 4 pictures make your TL look incredibly Sinister. I’m sure when you drive down the road woman scream in terror, children turn pale. And old people just lay down and die.
Nice work!!
Nice work!!
