Here my SSM debadge

 

Those tips really tucked in nice. Looks better than they did on my car.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate the compliment. If my car is even half of yours, I'll take it. Your progress thread is largely my inspiration on how to model my car after.

That looks great! I am still torn though...I can't decide if the ACURA and TL badges "complete/fill out" the back, or if I want the totally clean look.

 

^^ if your careful you can remove the emblems and put them back on, if you feel the
look doesn't seem right to you.

 

Nice!


Yoks, be sure to join our Silver TL Social Group from the link below my signature.

 

^^ Steve I did join. I least I think I did.LOL Rich

 

Looks good man, Get the 18" A-Spec Wheels next!!!

 

^ it's on my radar...but also considering the other wheel options out there. I REALLY like the stock 17's on the TL in terms of design.

Does anybody know of similar styles for the stock rims but in 18"? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Oh and also...got the A-Spec suspension installed. I'm full A-spec now . Now I just need that badge haha.

 

looks nice!

 

A teaser of what I had done today...

These tails were done originally to color match the Anthracite TL. I took a gamble to see how they'd look on my SSM. So far I am satisfied

 

^ So your the one who bought those. They look great! And congrats on the aspec suspension. I got mine installed a few weeks ago, love it.

 

Clean TL and the mod bug is full affect. Keep up the good work!

 

I like them....they look good.

 

^^Thank you sir!

Thanks man! Yeah it's a great compromise between comfort and handling around the corners. Only regret: Not doing it earlier!

Here's a shot with the new lights while turned on:

 

^Nice. I actually contemplated buying them but I wasn't sure how AM would look against my CBP. It looks pretty damm good with SSM tho.

 

 

Very nice upgrades. Love the OEM look myself

 

Thanks friends....I'm in a limbo in terms of what I should do next for a mod. Wheels seem like the obvious choice of course, but need suggestions for 5 spoke wheels similar to the stock design (looking at 18 inch wheels)

Haha yeah, I saw you post in that thread. I am sure it would have looked clean on your car for sure though. Honestly the color matched "Anthracite" really looks dark grey/black more than anything from afar.

Personally, I love the subtle carbon fiber portion where the reflector should be

 

Vossen wheels, if you're looking for 5 spoke. And yes, definitely go 18's.

 

CV3's correct? I love the look of them and I've considered that model, but do you think it would look out of place without an aggressive drop?

The A-Spec isn't the lowest drop out there I suppose, but I do wish to maintain that ride level.

 

I have the H&R Sports Springs, which is a modest drop. The Vossens would look great, even with a modest drop.

But don't do one without the other, in my opinion.....

 

I really like the gunmetal aspecs however, I'm big on the "clean oem" look.

 

Everyone goes for Aspecs. The Vossens are clean, but unique (in my opinion).

 

OP- I think there was some 5 spoke vossens in the BM not too long ago, they might still be for sale...

I don't think 18" vossens with aspec springs will look good
I don't think it will be low enough to pull off 18 aftermarket. Will look out of place...
Stick with the OEM look and get Aspecs

I would def search around for pics of peeps with aftermarket wheels and aspec springs to see if its something you'd like before pulling the trigger

 

The A-Spec wheels are 18" though as well. There has to be SOME aftermarket wheels out there that are 18" and can be pulled off with the A-Spec springs...at least I hope there are.

As far as the Vossens...looks like I'm out of luck anyways...it seems that they only make them 19" and up for the CV3s? Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

I think only the replicas come in 18".... So, there are options

 

Good stuff...you wouldn't happen to know any notable ones, would you?

One thing for sure is I know I won't go 19's. It's either stay at 17 with the stockies or go up only an inch.

 

Lights look good! Now to do the turn signal relay resistor mod + some LED turn signals to even out the clean look!! if you need help, let me know

 

Friend picked up the new Honda Accord Sport. I must say it is a very nice car -- much better rear end than the outgoing one. Honda family shot here

 

Nice, the new accords are sweet.

 

Looking very good, where did you purchase those tail lights and deck lid spoiler? If I may ask... lol I guess I already asked haha

 

Nice pic....

 

Hey OP just curious, who installed your Aspec suspension? and how much if you don't mind me asking?

 

Where did the quad tips come from? And how much? Great looking car!!

 

Rowdy, where have you been?
