I said exactly the same thing just about a year ago when I got my '04 and planned for tint, stereo/carpc and the aspec lip kit and wing spoiler and that was it. Here I am almost a year later with wheels coming and a few other things done/planned.. Hang around here too much and you will probably start doing one thing at a time and not even realize what you've spent

i know... i know...

i have had a modding problem... this car hopefully will change that and i will keep it somewhat stock.

Reason for auto, im sick of manuals and want to do some paddle shifting. also with the infamous honda 6 speed 3rd gear issue...i just dont want to have to deal with a potential problem.

Last car:




Car before the 06 Si:



And before that...



just so you know where i'm coming from! :-)

I heart kinetic blue pearl!

If your trend continues, i assume you're going to be rolling on some volks before its all said and done.

Sweet retrofits on the SI. You have excellent taste in cars. How long did you keep each car for?

yeah those were my old retros...i got new ones about 1 month ago...

S2k projectors, s2k shrouds, color mod stage one and two from customlightz.com.

they were absolutely my favorite mod on the car.... it killed me to have to part with them!



i kept my 99 Si for about 5 years, had the Evo for 3 years and barely kept the 06si for 2 years.

At that rate of owning cars, after a year with the TL, you either be riding a bike or walking lol.

Welcome to the TL family rocket. Very nice choice indeed.. Really though, how long before you give in and order a set of volks for the TL? I noticed on your 06 SI you had your license plate mounted in the top corner of the winshield. I was just wondering how you rigged that setup

Great Idea! Thanks. I don't run with my front plate and usually just toss it in the lower corner of the winshield but can't stand how it looks there. Thanks for a new idea GL with the TL. The countdown begins until you give in and start the modding :o )

so far i've hard wired in my V1, threw in my LED license plate bulbs, LED reverse bulbs and my spoon reservoir covers from my Si... other than that STOCK! haha.

I'll post pics once i get my new front lip...dealer installed it with gaps and i'm having a new one installed, don't want to ruin the photoshoot with a poorly installed front lip! Rear looks so hot though!

Good Luck with that.


One day, you'll look at a picture thread and go...hey, those wheels would look good on my car (-$2000)

Then, "hey, my car looks really tall. maybe I should drop it." (-$800)

then tint, headlight/grille mod, bunch of navi hacks, maybe a system, and before you know it, 5g will be gone.
