My streak of an otherwise stock TL has ended...

just a few weeks ago, otherwise stock.



and now...

Just lowered it with H&R sports / Koni Yellows. I just got it back, so it will prob settle a little over the next week or so. Still havent put my rear seat back in yet!



then i realized i had these puppies sitting in my basement, so i bolted em up!







new polished burnt Ti shift knob...doesnt take such a good photo while you're driving, heh.



picking up some groceries...sky was neat.



there ya have it... i <3 my TL

KBP FTW! God I love that color.

Your car looks great man. I thought I could keep my car stock as well. I blame this website. I'm suing

Brother, I knew it wouldn't take you long to get bitten! Your Type S looks great. Hey, did I win the poll?

thats funny im usually in "D"rive, when im driving

nice dude! the Type-S looks good minus the garage door weatherstrip! those wheels always look nice on the TL. should look a bit lower when it settles. good job man!

lmao, good catch. i took a few pics and this was the least blurry, didnt even realize this wasnt the pic when i was driving!

here ya go!

i lol'd

anyways blue rocket your car looks good man, KBP is my favorite color on a type S

ok when i drive im in the drivers seat! not the passengers seat LOL which is where the pic was taken from you prolly reached over with the camera and snapped a quick shot right? lol the knob looks pretty cool. i also got a new shift knob.

KBP that's a sexy color! nice drop and wheels.

very nice and clean! rare color you have there..

Looks Awesome, those wheels go perfect with KBP! Keep the mods coming

That shot with the setting sun is absolutely money.

TE's look great. Clean car. Hopefully you can make it out to a NY/CT area meet some day and I can check the whip out in person...

Edit: You're not the blue rocket of Grafxpressions.com, are you? If so, I'm rocking your Mr. Sparkle decal on my TSX.... haha

damn called out again, my gf was taking the pics! lmao

lol- car looks sick man, everything about it is $$$....except the window visors, but..thats just me- well done man

NICE.....i remeber when i first got the car. for a WHOLE year istayed stock! after i kept on looking at this site, meh....it was bound to happn! lol. TE's defintely looking good tho. the drop should settle a bit more althought the rear still looks kinda high. i assuming you set the koni's height on the 3rd (middle) perch all around?

Wow very nice looking now im on the fence about getting the H&R sports for my KBP S. Only thing im not digging are the window visor things, but that seems to be the norm now on the acura forums I guess.

yah, window visors are a love it or hate it kind of thing. I really like the look (plus my visit to Japan showed me EVERYONE has them -- so keeping true to my JDM roots i'm leaving them on! -- lol). Those pics were taking as soon as the suspension was done, i think it settled a touch more since then (i've been driving everywhere). Might be about 1 finger gap in the front 1.5 in the rear? The drop is EXACTLY what i was looking for, i daily drive the car so i don't want it slammed.

The alignment this shop did was absolutely perfect, the suspension, along with the volks + GY Eagles + alignment makes this car feel so FUGGING GOOD! So smooth, sharp and it even feels lighter on its feet...

Stock never lasts... haha

looks real nice! definitely sexy

i'll try to get some more pics soon!

yeah i told myself i would leave my car stock too... then i joined acurazine and it was all down hill from there...lol

Damn, I wish I was baller enough to just have some TE's laying in the garage and me forgetting about them hahah

Looks great man!

The shift knob fit fine or still messed up? Sorry I've been in NYC but I called them on Sat for you.

i had to jerry rig something to get it to fit (the auto theads are smaller then the normal honda thread pattern). I shoved a rubbery tube inside the threads of the knob and then screwed it on, it's pretty snug, but not a direct screw on for sure.

How do you just forget that you have some sick ass Volks laying around in the garage!!?? Great color, great rims, awesome shift knob. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store next. Where did you pick up that shift knob?

i was just kidding about the volks, i have been waiting to install them forever...but i told myself i wouldnt put them on until the car was lowered!

as for the shiftknob...its from Fortune Auto

lol

looks great..

you need to pick up some blue/titanium extended lugnuts

^ i'm thinking about it...i have the black rays lugs but they are a touch boring, also thinking about some volk formula style center caps...

Damn, you went from stock to a nicely moded TL in no time. lol

im really diggin that home depot lip ... for 10 bux it looks really good!

badass rims to just have laying around lol

yeah, no kidding! lol
sweet ride! i used to HATE the kbp, but it's grown on me...IN LOVE!

Car's looking top notch man! If I waited 2 weeks to buy mine I'd have a KBP too!

Got anymore GOOD shots of the shift knob??

I love all of those mods you did.

KBP wins everytime.

And there was no way in hell you were gonna keep her stock...not with a kinetic blue baby.

damn that sure does look nice... I always get envious for not buying that color when I bought my tl-s a few years ago

ps. the sohc decal is pretty funny

thanks boss... it's nasty and rainy around here, when it gets nicer out i will snap some good pics of her. Springs have settled a bit and she's looking nice!

Awesome KBP TLS! Very tastefully modded. Hmm.. the shift knob looks real interesting, do you have a pic of it not as blurry?

^ i will get one soon. more pics to come probably next week, i'm gone for a bachelor party all weekend...

i have the rays black lugs, but they are a bit boring, anyone have any ideas on something a little more fun? i'm not really a fan of open ended lugs.

I'm also going to order the GT Type center caps (red ring with engraved aluminum "VR"). The stock caps are also a little too boring

LOL.....I wish I could just be like "Oh yeah, I have a set of Volks in my basement, I should put them on!"

Car looks good.

^ i posted above that i was just goofing...i've been so anxious to get those wheels slapped on! but i wouldnt do it until the car was lowered!

2008 Volk GT VR style centercaps ordered! If anyone wants a set of the stock Volk flat style centercaps, PM me.
