Your car has every mod I've been thinking of doing to my 2004 WDP TL. Great job!

How difficult is lowering the bumper to install the TLS tails?

How much was Aspec trim kit and how difficult to install?

Did you say you got the D rear deck lid for $100? hondacuraworld wants $279 for the non type S (smaller).

I live in Mass just over the RI border. What part of Rhode Island do you live in?

Thanks!

He he he he - I said to myself, "Self, what would Dark do?"..............LOL.

Here is a link from AZ - this is how I found out about them. They are quite expensive - $300.00 but they are worth every penny. I purchased them for a little less last May.

Supercomputers makes a great sill too but I don't like the overlay aspec of them. I much prefer to keep the stock look and these are even better in person. They are stock OEM sills that the guy laser cuts the ACURA out of and installs some kind of LED board behind.

They are beautiful!!!

If you look at the car in this link it almost looks like Stella........check it out!!

Dark if you are serious about them let me know and I can PM you the guys email. I'll have to dig through some old emails to find it. I had to leave a deposit on mine while he made them up fresh. I don't think he mass produces them.....!!

Hey Zoo! Thanks for the compliments buddy......

I can proudly say everything I have done so far I did myself. I am not a mechanical kinda guy - I don't/can't change my own oil and know very little about engine mods.

So I do the things I can handle and anything else I leave to a pro......or at least someone who knows what they are doing.....LOL

The tails are wicked easy - I didn't remove the rear bumper at all, although it would have been really easy. I dropped one side at a time and installed the tails that way. Wasn't bad at all took me a couple hours I guess because I worked pretty slow.

The Aspec kit wasn't so easy. Aspec body kit is about $800.00 - there may be a group buy going on in the Black Market section.

The sides were pretty easy - front easy - rear, well let's just call that a pain in the rear. LOL Most important thing with that install is go slow, take your time, clean and prep the surfaces before sticking the tape and read a few of the DIY's here to gain some tips.

The rear TLS lip was $100.00 way back when..........sometime in March I believe the price jumped up to the current $280/$300 or so.

Cool that you are so close buddy - I'm in Cranston - Dean Estates area.

Any threads with your TL ??

No threads yet Steve. I just picked up the car last Friday. I love it! I want to wait until I get some mods completed before I post a thread. All my posts have been TL questions.

Are these the same tails you have? http://www.hondacuraworld.com/Mercha...egory_Code=ATL

Did you also upgrade your suspension?

Thanks again!

SteveP66

Those are the tails Zoo!! I haven't done suspension yet for two reasons........

........... I'm deciding and saving for some new wheels (probably going to be Aspec
Sparkle Silver) and at that point I'll have the suspension installed....... I've read some of the threads on that and it is WAY WAY WAY beyond what I can do myself.

Where in MA are you bud ??

I saw that tint thread and was wondering if you took your car in yet?

SteveP66

You're going to want these too......lol

Saving for the wheels makes sense. These would look great on your car...and continue the black chrome theme

I live in Mansfield. I'm waiting on tint king to get the TL felt kits in. Hopefully by Monday. The more I look at your car the better it gets. Have you tinted your windows?

Good stuff man, Looking through your thread, the TL's changed alot! Put the bad boys(doorsills) on and take some more pics! BTW-The Type S look badass with the Alabaster, Anthracite, and SSM. Still deciding for those on my NBP. You think they'll look decent on em?

SteveP66

Yeah those rims are nice but that price is nuts! The seller is a little "off his rocker"........ I question his integrity after reading some of his auctions.

Let me know when you get the tint done - I might be willing to make the drive if they do a good job. I haven't looked into the tints much at all - just kinda starting out to see where others go and how it went for them

SteveP66

Thanks bud - yeah it has changed and quicker than planned too.....LOL

The TLS tails would look great on your NBP......check out the photography section there are quite a few NBP's with them on already. They look great

AMIC

Steve, Those sills look cool! $300 is a little much for me. Don't think the hubby's gonna let me get anything else for a while after I had to sell the Inspyres cause I ended up not liking them .

SteveP66

LOL - hide them from him.....LOL

Did you decide on another wheel ?

iTrader: (1)

Ya...they are way too pricey$

I called tint king today. They said they're not using the moleskin/felt anymore. They are now snipping the lower gasket. They claim they can't get the adhesive to stick and the felts always fall off. I'm not sure I'm going to have it done yet.

SteveP66

Oh that doesn't sound good..........I don't think I want anything snipped off my car.....

I gotta keep doing some more looking around

AMIC

I haven't decided on what I'm going to do about my wheels. I just sold the Inspyres last week.

SteveP66

I am still admiring the Aspec Sparkle Silver ..........

AMIC

That would probably be my choice except I need to see them in person before buying.

I'd love to see what the A-Spec rear end would look like with:

- a - The area around the trail pipes and the small portion that runs along the top (where it meets the existing bumber) painted the same color as the car.

and - b - Instead of painting around the tail pipes (a), chrome out (or use the same color as the car) the small oval shaped part that sticks out in the middle.

Steve's car looks great, I'm just currious how both of these ideas would look as I'm close to pulling the trigger on an A-Spec kit for my 2004 WDP.

I'm sure there are more than a few photo editor experts on this site who can to this with no problem.

Thanks!

That's types09's car right? I like his setup

SteveP66

That's nice Pete - looks sharp......... Man I can't wait until spring so I can get all the damn snow and salt off my car - it needs a lot of TLC at the moment.

Gonzo04TL

Hey steve, where did you get your tail lights and do you know if they would work on an 04?

Eoanou

Hey Steve I haven't posted on this thread yet, but I just noticed how your leather seats still look brand new, I'm have the same color interior and my seats look like crap, any tips on maintaining my leather seats?

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this tough time.

Your brother had a beautiful car. I did not know him personally, but he will be deeply missed.

God Bless

Scott - condolences at the loss of your brother, Steve. His presence will be missed here on the site, but I'm sure will be missed a great deal more from the lives of his family. I, for one, feel for you and your family at the time of this loss.

Ron A

Sorry to hear of your loss.

I started a thread in this forum about this tragic event so it will get more exposure.
