hey i noticed your side skirts aren't from ronjon.. did you order just the front and rear RJ Kit?

 

i would like to get the steering wheel, but it's too much money.

 

front and sides are a-spec kit the rear is ronjon i only bought the rear, wasn't feeling the front or sides

 

hey jptl04, where can i get an a-spec front spoiler for a good price? who do you reccommend? i also saw on ebay, they are selling 07 tl-s oem front spoiler unpainted. will that fit on my 06' tl? thanks.

 

07 will not fit on 06, try Tim at Hondaacuraworld.com he is an official vendor

 

well, i just installed 07 tl-s tail lights and side marker lights on my one week old 06 tl. looks amazing BUT, it wasn't easy installing them. it took me about 2 1/2 hours. i'm not the most handiest person. plus i was trying to be sooo careful not to break or scratch anything. it's mostly clips that hold the bumper together. also got #mM tint installed yesterday. also installed tl-s knob and carbon fiber front trim. waiting for rear deck spoiler to arrive. will post pics soon. car is coming together.

 

hey what's up what is the part number for your yellow top battery,and do you like the new tail lights better then the smoked ones;because i have the smoked ones and i'm thinking about getting the 2007 type s tails but what do you think the dealer will bill me for the install.thanks

 

i love the 07' tails. most guys on here said they pretty easy to install. it took me about a little under 3 hours to install. i'm not the most handiest person. i think they will charge about 2-3 hours of labor. you can do it your self or go to a body shop. it might be cheaper.

 

Took about 1 1/2 hours to do this install...not difficult at all. Do one side at a time...it is pretty much just clipped on with like one bolt and one screw! You can really do this yourself...seriously, don't feed the beast by giving your money to the dealer...spend that labor money on something for your ride!!!

 

the model # of my yellow top optima battery is d34/78, yes i like my new tails way better. don't go to the dealer install them yourself save your $$$$, it's not that hard difficulty scale of 1-10, i give it a 5

 

thanks for the help did you need longer wires for the battery or did you use the stock ones?

 

i used the stock ones, lenght was not an issue. i just cut the oem battery connectors off the cable and put some monster crimpless connectors on there for my new battery terminal connectors, you can see them in the pic they're gold plated, but you dont need to do all that, your oem connectors should fit on those battery posts/terminals no prob.

 

Hello guys!
The S-type tail lights are awesome. I planned to upgrade my 05 TL with 07 type S Tail Light. From what i've been reading, i have to take off my stock bumper to install these tail light?
Also i check eBay for the Decklid Spoiler and some of them are selling the one that can be assembly with 3M tape. Do you guys recommend that or should i get an OEM from the dealer?
Thanks guys for the input.

I've just bought my car and pretty much a newbie at this.

 

Once again, looks great, on a side not: You should really look into the sides and front or at least the sides for a moire muscular look, the A-Specs look kinda skimpy next to your sides. and it will mtcht eh rear perfectly too.

 

Answer to post #93...yes, you do have to remove the bumper, but do it one side at a time. Read the first post of this thread for details. Secondly, go OEM on that decklid spoiler, that 3M is gonna eventually give you some grief...don't go cheap. Remember, you pay for what you get. Always pay a bit more for the quality stuff! ...oh yeah, welcome

Response to post #94...I agree with RJ, you should definately kick up your front and sides to match the rear. I would love to throw down the cash yesterday for his kit, but I don't have an extra $2300 just lying around...cash is tight these days!

 

is that true? if i get the deck lid spoiler, the 3M tape will eventually give? i saw one on ebay for $169. looks good and some guys on here reccommend it. but it uses 3M. what do you guys think?

 

i got mine from ebay i forgot who was the seller, but that's about how much i paid $170 paint mathes perfectly, i installed it myself. it also used just the 3M tape, trust me that thing ain't going nowere. had it for more than two years now. just make sure you prep the surface before installing. i used rubbing alchohol to remove all the wax/sealant down to the clear coat of the mounting surface

 

Where you ge tthe 07 Tails lights? Local Dealer? How much $$??

 

Hey all,

Where can I get those Type-S tail lights? Local Dealer? How much $$$$

thanks!

 

call tim at hondaacuraworld.com. he sells them for $197. also has the sidemarker lights too.

 

Is the price $200 for the pair?

 

yes

 

I have the A-spec kit installed, is it a little more difficult to remove the bumper?

 

Is it easy to install rear side marker lamp kit?

 

very easy. just remove the inner liner. then unplug the led plug from the marker. then squeeze the clamps on the actual marker to unlock the marker from the body. then just push the new one in. good luck.

 

Im envious of you all. Those new Type-S tails look great on the 3rd gen.

 

hey guys i just wanted to let you all know i just got out of the hospital. last tuesday night some drunk asshole ran through a red light and plowed right into me t-boned me to be exact driver side door and rear pass door completely smashed in!!! fucker was driving a ford ranger pick-up and was going about 45-50 mph. guys im lucky to be alive!!! thank god for all the air bags this car has. i sufferd two broken ribs and a collapsed lung. ouchhh!!! of course this asshole didn't have insurance on top of being drunk. lucky for me i have uninsured motorist coverage on my insurance policy $250,000 -$500,000 to be exact, most people have $15,000-$30,000. so i'll be getting paid$$$$$$$$$$

my tl is totalled, im most likely gonna get another tl, heck that car saved my life!!!
let the modding start all over again!! i'll post pics of my destroyed tl later

 

Thank god you are OK!

 

Ditto on the questions about having the a-spec rear lip on. If you do the method where you just loosen each side seperately, do you have to remove the a-spec lip on the rear?

 

forget the car. thank god your ok. hope you feel better.

 

Man, that sucks royal a$$. Why is it that the drunk ones are always the ones without insurance? Why can't they learn their lesson? Thank God you are okay and your body will recover from the damages that fool put you in. Your TL was a work of art that can always be remastered after your insurance supplies the canvas. You, on the other hand, should heal so when can enjoy your masterpiece again. Real soon!! Glad you're okay and we can all redo these mods from scratch. Can't wait to see your pics.

 

wtf! Oh man, I hope you truly are all right. That totaly sucks. I hope you got a chance to pound that drunk bastard in the face a few times before the cops showed up. Guess your going to be modding a Type S soon!

 

Holy shit. Man that fucking pisses me off, no insurance and drunk.

Im glad you're okay man.

 

First off, glad to hear that you are okay...that could have been really bad! Secondly, I am very sad to hear about your car! To be honest, you car was one of the first that I saw on this forum when I signed up a couple of months back and how I learned of hondaacuraworld and how to get my 07 lighting stuff. You car looked great and I hope that you are bring another Anthracite to Mod-Life for us! No 07 TL-S though...they replaced our beloved color with the TSX Carbon Grey Pearl...just not the same!

Anyways, it is always the guys who cause the most damage that never have the insurance...and then they try and sue us!!! Dirty bastards! Again, glad to hear that you are okay. Beautiful car but it is still just a car...it is the cargo inside that matters the most!

 

That really sucks. Glad to hear your ok. Let us know how the insurance company is going to handle your upgrades. Let the modding begin on your next TL.

 

what color bulb are you guys using after installing side marker lamp kit for the rear? Do you have to change out the light bulb?

Just got my tails in today...now off to installing them!!!

 

I just got in my tails today from Tim at hondaacuraworld.com and the right sides is messed up. There's debris inside the lens. WTF. Anyone else have this same problem?

 

^-- A lot of people have had this problem and was discussed in another thread. Tim is mailing us out replacements and return shipping labels for the bad tails. My drivers side tail had the debris in it. I am supposed to be getting my replacement tomorrow. Just email Tim and he will get you taken car of. I'm surprised you got one as he was checking all the tails that he shipped out this week.
