It's all good man, I was just messing with you.

Care to tell us why your car is up on a lift? Exhaust work being done?

Roger does awesome work. He's maybe 4 miles from my house so I've dropped by a few times to see what he's working on. Projector fogs are going to be dope.

Took some pictures a little while ago just outside of my house. Overcast today but here they are anyway. BTW I am lowered on Megans, I believe they are not even half way down the threads. But, I plan to keep it at this height for a while.








This is how my car seems to look now its going into winter mode.

You can see how well the pedal flow with the rest of the interior


A Package came today just as I was taking pictures.

PRESENTS!!

Looks good man, I really like what you've done! Didn't you sell some Teins for super cheap awhile back?

If you ever want those pedals pc'd, give me a shout :wink:

Looking good Alex. I have the Type-S centercaps on my A-Specs and I love them. How's that j-pipe? I think I'm going to ask for one for my birthday in March.

Damn the interior is gross

Damn Sandals, get some Type S tails and you'll be as close to a real Type S as you can get.

You'll like ONR....

Steven now that you mentioned that I kinda want them but those side markers about $100 for the pair ugh.

oh and I have used the original ONR loved it. I bought the 128 oz new formula ONR and I think I am in heaven. It smells so GOOD! I might end up washing my car every other day.

I'm just about always on my computer, but not always on AZ. I usually just have a tab with Acurazine on it. I just finished an online quiz so I thought I would see what's new over here

Two TLs in the family! Ballin!

Funny how you can tell how much lower your car is than your moms SSM. Actually no, not really funny since that's the height of my car too (stock). Love the smoked base tails.

there is no latest updates?

Alex car looks great sucks never got around on getting those visiors when you told me. Dam

and 2 tls thats balling, in one pic looked like you had a MDX as well. my fam was all acuras at one point then it changed, i have a 06 TL, sis 06 TSX, and momz 09 MDX but she sold it because my dad said looked like an egg on wheels which i loved the MDX. but off topic back to topic.

Your car looks sick better than mine now. but yea, im going to have to put up a progress thread now, even though i aint done, starting all over.

well now that you got those fogs done , you should help me. and we should do your headlights, we can retrofit those with dual projectors i found the kit we can use and do the diffuser to clear, i was going to do mine but ended up not doing them because they were opened 3 times and opeing them again just didnt want to get to it. and i still might trade for type s. well car looks great. need to update with the roof spoiler you have now.

well see you at the great falls meet.

Yeah Alex, your car looks facking awesome!

Love the color, A-Spec FTW! I think my favorite part is definitely the TL-S tails...just looks so good with the matching smoked color of the tails and the car.

Worst part about your car...THE TRASH! Clean that puppy, take care of your ride man!
