Thanks Steven!!
Whoops. How could I forget one of my most recent and most favorite mods
Thanks! Honestly though, I just got bored of them after a while. I always end up going back to stockies after a while.
Since this thread was bumped I might as well throw in a couple of the latest pics! I went on a little road trip Friday for a wedding and just got back today. I spent the night in NYC and in NJ. I threw on the stockies for the trip and snapped a couple pics. Every time I put them on I realize that some of us really take the beauty of the original 5 spoke pattern for granted. Its a damn good looking wheel for OEM.
I had 5 people in the car and a trunk packed FULL. The wheels kept rubbing over big bumps/dips BUT! I finally broke 30MPG!!!
I installed t3 neo wedge bulbs a week or two ago inside some of the bulbs and switches in the car. Also I polished my exhaust tips on the inside with steel wool and BKF! I'm liking it for now, but I pay repaint them black later.
In progress:
Done
I thought this pic looked cool
Interior LEDs installed. Love them!
Pics of the trip:
This made the trip quite fun
On a side note; picked up a beautiful set of aspecs the other day. Had my dad's Tacoma loaded
But then I gave them to a friend. Low profile tires FTL.

Small update!!
Odometer rolled over to 125k the other day. That means its time for an oil and filter change+tire rotation.
Thanks!! He's actually my cousin and closest friend. We go way back lol. He actually bought a TL just because I had one and we've been working on it steadily for about a month and a half now. He got exactly what I wanted AND paid less than I did when I got mine. 04 SSM 6MT plus Navi!
We've painted the calipers, LED interior, LED doorhandles like on my car, some maintenance work, and yesterday we replaced the sunroof assembly cause his wasn't working properly. It sounds like a PITA...and it is, but it honestly wasn't as bad as I thought. It only took about two hours to strip the headliner/handles/visors and install everything back to original condition. The hardest part was trying to get the headliner and sunroof assembly in/out without damaging anything or scratching up the interior. Here are some pics of that process.

You had me thinking you had a KBP TL for the longest time haha, the avatar threw me off. Regardless though, mods look great. And +1 on centering the plate

I will be updating this thread very soon with pics of my new rims
I just used regular spray paint from home depot. I think it was Rust-o-leum or whatever; I didn't use high heat but I did clear them. It's holding up pretty well, except one place where it started peeling up. But that started when I first put them on, so its not from the heat. I might re do them, but oh well.
Thanks! I really wish I had a KBP Type-S! That's by far my favorite color. My car is DGP, which I didn't like in the beginning but its been growing on me
As for the plate, Honestly the RHO Plate mount is a love it or hate it thing; I really like it though especially since I like the "Acura" Decal in the middle!
Here are some pics of the new rims:

New update! 6/09/12
Hey all. Just wanted to post some updated pics.
I have a few shots of the new rims here and some shots of my fender getting rolled.
The rims are BBS LM reps, 18x9.5 et48. I had spacers installed, 20/25mm front/ rear and had a LOT of rubbing issues. I switched to 15/20mm spacers and got the fenders rolled and slightly pulled. Now no rubbing
I'm getting bored of them already. I'm debating on selling them and getting something different. I also still have my aspects which will never get old
Also I buffed my tails because they had some surface scratched andthey came out awesome. Used the Meguiars Headlight restoration kit.
Pics!
Before
During
After
Tail light polish
Also ran into some bad luck yesterday. I was parked at a buddy's house and was helping him wash his TL (04 SSM 6MT) and install new LED bulbs in his dash when I watched his neighbor back RIGHT into my car. It was he typical NOOOO!!!! Moment you see on tv.
I walked up and asked for his insurance info. He tried to play it down but i told him I spent a lot of money on my car and a lot if effort to make it perfect and therefore I wanted it to stay that way. I mentioned I wanted to call the cops because I've been screwed over before so I wanted to have them file a report. He sort of begged me not to so I told him to just get his insurance info.
I walked away to take pics and overheard him on the phone talking about "it's not even that bad, this bastard is being stupid" and that's when I decided to stop being a nice guy and I called the cops
Anyways I'm sure I'll get 2-300$ for a bumper repaint and labor so whatever. I'll probably also get my aspec lip painted too since its chipped from rocks. It's just annoying because I've had my brand new type s bumper and lip for about a year and have managed to keep it looking perfect all that time.
Pics
Enhanced to show the dimple.

Good call on getting in touch with the PD. I have had this happen to me in the past as well where my dad got into a fender bender while being at a stop sign, kid over corrected himself and slid right into the front of my dad's car.
My dad called the cops, who showed up and told them to exchange the insurance info, which they did and went home. Next day I get a call from the insurance company, as the car is registered in my name, stating that the other party is accusing my dad to be at fault and is suggesting that he rolled from his stop and got in the way of the kid taking the turn in his VW.
Long story short, I called the local PD, no accident report was filed but I knew there is an event log, which I got a copy of, forwarded it to the insurance and got the matter sorted out.
So lesson learned here is to get in touch with the authorities as if there is no police report then its your word against the other party's word. Avoid being shafted by the insurance company and cover your ass by getting a police report.

Yup! same thing happened to me. A former friend hit me in a parking lot and totaled my old 95 Acura Legend GS. He promised to cover it all via insurance. Turns out he lied to his insurance company and told them it wasnt his fault. His insurance company denied my claim because I hadn't called the police and didn't have any impartial witnesses.
I had to fix the car myself. My insurance wasn't willing to help either because I only had liability coverage.
I learned my lesson

Quana, nice wheels. Sorry to hear about your friend's idiot neighbor.

Well.
The insurance adjuster just left. He wrote me a check for close to $600 that will be put towards other mods Going to pickup the rental car today and probably upgrade to a nice SUV and will take the family to the beach in it over the weekend. No unnecessary highway miles for the TL!
In other news, I got my USR Switchback sidemarkers yesterday and had them installed. Here's a couple quick pics I snapped. Overall I'm happy with the quality and the colors. Very easy mod!
Also, I've been thinking about painting my BBS reps gunmetal in the mesh. That would be chrome/polished lip with gunmetal mesh and red centercaps. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the kind words guys!
It really worked out well. I dropped the car off at the body shop to get buffed and waxed; I'm not even going to bother with that little ding I think I'll use the money for some more interesting mods in the future.
Picked up my rental car for the weekend... 2012 Hyundai Genesis. Man this thing is beautiful AND smooth. I just drove it 260 miles to the Kill Devil Hills, NC, which is a small town in the Outer Banks.
This thing is Smooth, powerful, and only has 500 miles on it! It still has the new car smell. I'm happy!

^you think thats smooth, you should ride in the 4.6 liter v8. That unless im missing the badging, that looks like the 6 cylinder. my dads got the v8 and at 365 horse power, it will get up and go without really ever letting you know haha

Well, I turned in the rental car yesterday and picked my car up from the shop. Very happy with the results. I had the car buffed and waxed, but it rained the next day so it wasn't looking as good as it should.
I will post updated pics very soon. I have some goodies coming in the mail and am planning on swapping my interior garnishes to the OEM "carbon" trim very soon.

UR Pulley-I want!
#106
Update.
I had the pulley installed yesterday. I am pretty happy with it, the car overall feels lighter and it just feels like it reaches 2-3k RPMs a lot faster than before. Fun stuff!
Last night we got hit by a freak storm. It came very fast and hit everyone pretty hard. I only say "Freak" because i checked the weather several times yesterday before washing my car and it wasn't supposed to even rain. It was something like 10% chance.
Anyways, we lost power and so did everyone else around my neighborhood. I heard a couple big booms and bangs and the kids were pretty afraid.
I used my remote start on my car to get the headlights on so I could see outside and I realized a pretty huge tree fell on my neighbors house. We checked on them to make sure everything was OK and they went to another neighbor's for the night.
Here are some pics of the aftermath. My neighbors on both sides got hit pretty bad by trees. One came over their property line and hit the room attached to my carports and caused some roof damage. They're on vacation so we'll have to pan it out when they get back.
Ironically my car was sitting in the middle of our neighborhood coldesac and doesn't have a scratch!
Neighbor's house
Other neighbor's house:
This one fell across their yard and into my property
And it hit the room attached to my carport that we use for tools, storage, etc. Its also attached to my patio in the back:

UPDATE! WORK Equipped!
So I picked these wheels up the other day locally. I'm really happy with the design and look of the rim, but unfortunately they will need to be fully refinished due to curbage and pitting on the lips. I am currently in the process of searching for a reputable wheel shop that I will be able to trust to do the work.
Essentially I will have the black accents removed and have them fully brushed aluminum, the way member ballinfizzle89 did in THIS (link) thread. His specs are much more aggressive than mine, but beggars can't be choosers and I got a great deal on these rims
I threw them on last night because I was bored and I'm very impatient; I wanted to see what they'd look like on the car. Overall I'm happy with the fitment and style of course, but they rub pretty bad currently even with my rear fenders rolled. I will have to remove my spacers which I figured I would have to do anyway (20mm rear 15mm front). These are however the first set of 19" rims I've had on the car since I've had the H&R Sport springs installed. I'm pretty impressed; it kind of has me rethinking my plans to purchase the Tein Advance Coilovers. I most likely will still buy them though because I want MOAR LOW
Specs:
WORK Schwert SC1
19x8.5
et38 front, 24 rear
235/35/19 Toyo tires
On to the pics. You kind of cant tell how curbed they are from the pics (thankfully) but like I said I will be getting them refinished.
So any suggestions guys?

^^^ha ha...honestly, the Aspecs do look great on our cars, but it's almost to a point where they are looking like the oem base wheel to me...EVERYONE has the aspecs. That said, I'll never sell mine cause I DO Love them too.
Ok, now: Holy fk...that tree damage is intense, man...glad everyone is ok! We have hurricanes here but it's like that damage but spread out over MILES...that's freaky. 10% chance of rain and then BAM.
I liked the LS reps (did i get that right?) too...but the WORKS, you kidding, once you get that thing lowered on the Teins and fenders rolled/trimmed, you're going to be king. That stuff looks amazing. Nicely done, buddy.

I like the RDX covers (because I have some Brembo covers on my rear calipers). I just wish they weren't so boxy.

The winds that day were pretty ridiculous; we finally got some guys to come in and get rid of the tree and realize now that the damage is more than expected. But then again thats what insurance is for! I'm just glad a tree didn't fall on my car and kill my hopes, dreams and aspirations for the future
Honestly though our house was very lucky. Both neighbors had monster trees literally on top of their main house (ours was an adjacent room that I use for my tools and supplies) and had to leave the house for days. We luckily only lost power for about 10 hours whereas many people in the area didn't have power for as long as a week. I'd die!
Thanks! The Schwerts are amazing but unfortunately will need to be overhauled and fully refinished. Hopefully I can have them looking something like what ballinfizzle89 did:
