So the weather was finally nice enough to wash the car and take some pics. These were all taken about a mile from my house at a business park office complex.
Hope you all enjoy!
This first pic was taken to show you all that the TPMS sesors can work with a multi piece aftermarket wheel.

Looks really hot!!! I don't mind some more angle shots just to see how the lips look like from the back side angle. Very nice choice in wheels as they look perfect on a TL. And finally you came thru with the pics.

Say how many inch lip do you have?? Looks like at least 2.5inches?

I will get some more angled pics up there. The monsoon has subsided a little bit and I will get out there this weekend and get you some more pics of different angles of the car. I'd honestly say the lip is only about 1.75''-2''.

Great Looking TL.
This wheel and color combination has been in my dreams for the past two years. Congrats.....you beat me to it.
I'll be getting the same combo if I don't find a good deal on a 2002 E55. Oh yeah, can you makes your pics larger?

Damn i love RacingHart CR's.
Finally got to see them mounted on a UA6 TL.
Aren't you the one working on getting GHL to design a catback for the TL? We just installed a GHL 3" turboback on my friends MV5 Golf. Pretty nice quality when looking at the welds, bends, and flanges.

just wanted to say nice car man.... i was actually considering those rims also...
i was wondering how did you get the PSI gauge to work?
would i have to buy TPMS sensors?

sorry for being so oblivious..
thanks for your help

what tpms parts do you need?
twigglius, i like your idea of buying spare tpms sensors for new wheels.
looking at the eStore site, there are 2 parts associated with the TPMS initiator:
002 INITIATOR UNIT, TPMS INFO $46.30 004 ADD TO CART
003 BRACKET ASSY., TP... INFO $5.36 002 ADD TO CART
Would I need 4 sets of these units (initiator and bracket)?

All I did was go to the dealership and ask for 4 new sensors. They come individually packed with every part you need. It was about 45 bucks per sensor.
If you look there is a sensor assemply kit... Part number 06421-S3V-A02. I think that is what you are looking for. I found that on www.acuraoemparts.com
Good Luck.

How are the Teins working out? I'm in a big debate between Tein SS and Aspec. I'd really like the bigger drop, but i'm concerned with ride quality w/ 19s. I don't want my TL to ride rough like my dropped RSX did. How is the ride quality compared to stock?

The ride quality is actually really good. Don't buy the A-Spec suspension. Just hammer it with the Teins and adjust the dampening to your liking. I have mine set right in the middle and the ride is very good.
I have lowered 4 different cars and this Tein suspension is by far the best ride of any lowered car I have ever owned.

I might be back in PHX this weekend. I can keep you posted. What part of town are you in? My parents are near PV mall and that is where I would be staying if I come up.

I probably should have started a new thread but I will ask in here and see how it goes. As some of you may remember I ordered the H&R RSB in May. I was told it should be available in about 4 weeks. It's now the end of January and I am STILL waiting. Should I just stop being stubourn and order the Comptech RSB with the energy bushings? I'm pretty sure all of you will say YES but I had to ask... Plus I am currently bored.
