Whats up everybody. My name is David. I been on this website for a while but never really thought about joining. Well the time has come to join. lol This was my 2nd build RHD Acura Integra.
[IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG]
I sold the RHD Integra because I got a kid on the way and it wasnt the best car to put a baby in. I picked up an 2006 ACURA TL( I got an auto so my wife can drive it too.)
It was bone stock. I plan on just doing a slow build with this one. Stance it out and some other little things.

Got the 20% tint done all the way around.

I left the gym and something bad happened to my TL
[IMG][/IMG]

I got that fixed in about a week. Then i ordered my TIEN lowering springs!!
[IMG][/IMG]

Its not a huge drop but its enough for me. For now. My wife said she will not slow down for speed bumps and pot holes so im kinda nervous to go to low.
[IMG][/IMG]

Decided to Plasti dip the front grill black
[IMG][/IMG]

The finished product!! Im very happy with the front look. Maybe some fogs in the near future.
[IMG][/IMG]

Also DeBadged the rear to give it a cleaner look.
[IMG][/IMG]

Shortly after that I got tired of that look and plasti dipped the stock wheels white and Neo chrome lug nuts.I think it makes it stand out even more.

My future plans for the TL
Wheels(XXR 530 white or Chrome black)
Inspire Fog lights
Oem window visor
Maybe paint the roof black.
And some other things

 

Nice plans! Car looks good.

Don't let your wife drive the TL if you plan on lowering it more lol

 

Looking nice.

 

Nice color choice. AM TL FTW!

 

not going lower because she wont slow down for speed bumps? better get her in check man....

 

Lol shes my sponsor.

Yeah this color grew on me. Now I love it.

Thanks

Appreciate it. I been following your build for a while.

 

I lol'ed.

You can tell she doesn't give a shit about cars
Going over speed bumps without slowing down and going over pot holes is bad news for any car.

Your car's coming along though!
Any closeups of the lugs?

 

Welcome David-you're off to a great start! Keep going.

 

David!

Where in NC are you?

 

Thanks I will take some pics tomorrow if Im off work and i got some other little things to do and snap some pics.

Appriecate it. I dont plan on stopping anytime soon but my kid is about to pop so I will have to slow down a tad bit.

I located in the Fayetteville, Fort Bragg area. Im in the army so I drive on post everyday. Most people knew my RHD Integra. Now they need to know my TL. Your from around here?

 

I just left Fort Bragg two momths ago. How long you been there? Maybe you might have seen my car around. I have the same color TL and a TSX. Maybe you seen it before. https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-tsx-photograph-gallery-127/devotion-type-iii-pwp-tsx-847873/

Hopefully we can link up when I get back from the year long Korea tour.

 

I Been here since 08. I think i have seen your TSX around. I deployed last year so i was gone for a while. I will most likely be here for another 2 years then Im done with the army.

 

I bounce around between Cary and Lillington. There should be a meet in Charlotte this summer; I'll let you know when it's organized.

 

Yeah just let me know Im down to go to a meet.
Also got some more pics to post in a few mins.

Decided to plastic dip the area around my license tags and reverse light black. Taped everything up and got started.
[IMG][/IMG]
Finally product hehe. I think it came out pretty good.
[IMG][/IMG]

 

 

I would have plasti-dipped the emblem and left the rest.. just my

Plasti-dip job looks clean though

 

any plans on a-spec?

 

AM TL!! Great progress!

 

I did it this way cuz in the front I did the grill black and left the emblem alone.

I thought about it. but I not to sure.

Thanks

 

Nice work David.

 

AM ftw!

 

Ok after I looked and searched, I do like and want the A-Spec front lip. But not sure what the difference is between the side skirts. Would it look weird if I just got the front lip?

 

Heres the close up pics of my Neo chrome lugs.

[IMG][/IMG]
This is after I wash her. She was really dirty.
[IMG][/IMG]

 

Damn.....love those lugs.

 

Welcome! Nice TL.

 

Im deciding to sell my bike and spend the money and get full coilovers and wheels!!! Wish me luck on selling my GSXR.

 

I also have my wheels plasti dipped white but the matte is difficult to keep clean. You add a layer of clear coat to yours? I'll see ya at the meet since I'm in Greensboro

 

Yeah it is hard to keep clean. I just spray purple power over it when I clean my TL and most of the dirt comes off. And no I didnt use clean coat. If my wife pops the baby out I will go to meets. But if not I got to stay local.

 

No problem man, I went thru that last year with my daughter, actually had my springs installed 2 days before she was born

 

Damn thats nuts. Well if she does pop you will see a guy holding a baby at the meet. lol

 

Y'all can't laugh at me being probably the only stock TL at the meet

 

Do you have any side shots of your car? Just wanted to see how low you were. Also any camber?

 

I still feel stock. Once I sell my bike im ordering my wheels and coilovers.

I will try and get some shots today. No camber from what I can see. Once I get my coilovers im going to sell my Tein springs.

 

If the deal I have doesn't work out, I may be interested in the springs.

 

My boy that has a TL is going to buy the springs for $130.

I got bored looking at my TL so I was thinking of something to do until my coilovers and wheels get here. So I came up with this after doing some searching through the website. Here it is.
I did purple cuz my neo chrome lug nuts. I didnt like it to much.
[IMG][/IMG]
[IMG][/IMG]
I really didnt like the way it came up but from a distance it doesnt look so bad. Let me know what y'all think.

 

Decided to plastic dip the area around my license tags and reverse light black. Taped everything up and got started.

I was thinking about doing this to mine as I have already done the front grill black.

 

I love the AM but I dont get the fad with using plasi dip on everything... Looks cheap but thats just my opinion. The Integra looked clean though!

 

@prdude, you should debadge that sucker

 

Looks sick. You got any side shots of your TL?

Thanks on the Integra. I used plasti dip cuz its cheap and if I dont like it I can take it off.

 

Here they are!!! And yes Im taking out the xxr center caps for the TL ones. 18x8.75 +20 225/40/18

Also my Function and Form coilovers which will be going on also. Just hope I dont have to roll my fenders.
