Project TL AM in the beginning Phases

After a few discussions with members and friends I have finally started buying things for my car and slowly putting them on. This is the beginning stages of what has been done so far.

I decided that I just wanted to go the cheaper route and got the Tokicos with the H&R Race springs because with coilovers I would never adjust it anyways.


After Installation




Rear View with tinted tails and blackout sidemarkers



Front View with a Front A-spec Lip




More pictures to come onces rims and subs and amp comes in.

I thought about it but man I am getting poor with all these parts I am buying so far.
I was lucky enough that one of the SD guys didnt like the way his magnaflow resonator and mid muff delete sounded with a race cat and jpipe so he swapped out for free.

If i do the aspec rear and sides it wont be till i get my mufflers .

Yea man I hear you on that. I saved up like hell and got my rims and doing that made me pretty much broke. Now I just do little things here and there to set it apart (headlight overlays, debadge, headlight bulbs, TL-S side markers, ACURA letters on the front). I just do shit whenever I have some extra money between payments.

If you want to save money on parts for your car I say frequently scan the sales section. I've gotten some good parts for my car for cheap from members here. For example I purchased Tein SS W/EDFC for $1000...that's a deal!: Just my 2cents:
