05TLTony

Nice! The car looks great. I wish I had a good friend like you to wash and wax my car. Hell, I wish the weather up here is as nice as it is there so I could wash mine. Salt sucks!

trancemission

^^^tell me about it.... I couldnt believe he did that for me. Drew you are the man....


I just thought you were just going to wash it. Tonights tab is on me brotha..

cM3go

my 04 has almost 10 times that mileage

ashaman

Am I the only one who can't see the pics?

nguyen

i say slam ittt

Nandito28

Damn, that car looks like its BRAND FUCKING NEW!

Did you take off the wheels and clean them inside and out...even the lug nut wholes are clean!

What did you use to clean the instrument panel...I want to clean and protect my shit...but I dont want to leave it shiney...like a old car car shiny interior .

Nandito28

That sometime happens to me...I dont know why, but I try to view the thread later and "sometimes" I can see the pics...if not I just live with it.

trancemission

^^^ hah yeah I forgot about the wheels. We rotated my tires the other day so we decided to clean them before we put them on... Its covered in my garage and at work. Getting the grill painted next week hopefully. This guy that does all our aircraft exteriors is gonna hook it up for me. If he does a good job I will send any of you interested to him....

nguyen, that will be my next mod........er......wait.........right after the short shifter that cTLgo and I ordered...lol!!

Did you guys ever use that never dull on the exhausts? shit works great!!!

TorontoR

Nice, looks sexy debadged! Wish I could wax it now but its too damn cold

whatjones911

How did you keep your drivers seat looking so new?? What did you use for the leather?

neuronbob

What, no picture of trance's shocked look this time???

of that....



Seriously, nice job, kamlung, and you're a lucky guy to have friends like that, trance....

SweetJazz

This shot is the best. The reflection of the building is nearly seamless with the real thing.

SSMTL04

vp911

lolz well he was at work.. and he wanted his car to look nice for the meet last night so i volunteered... who wants a car wash in the Northeast, i will be coming home to NJ to visit my parents last week of Feb... drive down and mini meet at my house... lolz... i just hope it doesn't snow the next day...

lolz look at the mileage on that thing... i don't think it is even broken in yet... honestly i only did the outside... i didn't touch the interior because it was so clean... so seats and gauge cluster are normall clean like that...

but if it was dirty, i have a leather conditioner that makes the seat shine like that... and i know trance uses something for the dash, to prevent dash fade...

whatjones911

It does have low mileage but i seen TLs with the same mileage and their seats look like crap since the leather they use is cheap.

u mean the butt prints from the 04TL, think it was fixed in 05

jbcritch

Dang...where do I get the black "A" for my DWP TL??? I want one sooooobad!

Anyone selling those around here????

Is a vendor going to set us up a group buy??? If so...I am in (hint hint hint)

whatjones911

I mean even with the updated 05/06. Acura still uses the same leather. I see people with terrible driver seats before their first oil change. The leather is just too thin and the seat bottom bolsters are too soft so there is a lot of streching and winkles very fast.

trancemission

Not sure jb, I got one of the last sets the dealer was doing. I think the dealers name was weir acura. But all they did was send the emblems to a place called Mr Chrome. It might be a little pricey but you could send them to him on your own and he will do them. 1sweetTL posted this in the black pear emblems thread..

i haven't really heard of this prob much in the 05-06 TL... but it could be just me not hanging in 3rd gen that much... but anyways, maybe something to bring to your service advisors attention??? i know that another member on here, Shalinz, mentioned this problem to his service advisor and she is going to redo his seats...

im not sure if shampooing the leather will toughen the seat up but it may do the exact opposite and loosen the stiffness of the seat instead...

very nice and clean

Brembo with 17"rims?

trancemission

^^^I dont understand the question...

DAMN, Ethan!! That thing looks like it's just rolled out of the assembly plant. Looking goooood... And that mileage. Do you actually drive it, man? I drive my car only on the weekends and it just cracked 8000 mark last night.

Heh, here's the $1M question: when are you going to drop it and get those Volks???

trancemission

LOL!! soon my friend. Thanks again for all the advice Leo. Im copying you to the T...

260 HP

iTrader: (3)

LOL, good thing we're 1500 miles apart....

1sweetTL

Good choice in cars to copy.

Leo's car is bad ass.

A-spec kit, Volks...

then the Comptech S/C

willz822

Probably because his car is not an 04. Look at the seats, they're divided into 3 sections instead of the 2 sections that came on all 04TLs.

trancemission

I know right? I totally forgot to give him some props in the "who do you want your car to be like" thread.

Leo doesnt get on MSN much


But he has one of the nicest TL's on here.

I wish I could be on MSN more. Just before thanksgiving my company started blocking all IM programs.

Anyways, thanks for the props, Ethan, Joe. I was thinking about the S/C, but it's too much $$$ for me. It's got tint and CT RSB, though.

1sweetTL

If you have the extra 5-6K to blow on a S/C more power to you.
Personally I think your TL is already one of the baddest on this site.

The only reason i did not list as one I would trade for on this iste is cuz it is the same color as mine.
My whose TL would you Trade for thread was geared at trading for something other than what we already have.

Hell if my wife wasn't slammin inot curbs I would put some Volks on mine too then I'd really be Leo's Twin.

Hey Leo we need to set up another Mini-Meet soon.

trancemission

^^ you better take pics damit!!!!!
