thanks for the compliment though!



Yes.. plus it seems that you want to keep away from what everybody else is doing to their TL's.. And at this point I haven't seem many like mine so it might seem like a good idea !!!
I love it, way to be different!

Seriously, i feel the same way. While theres some sick cars on this forum, they kinda all start blending together with all of them having the same mods. Im used to the civic world where theres more options for originality then there are members of the forum.

Normally, I hate red cars. Prolly a product of getting stuck with so many civics with faded/oxidized red paintjobs, BUT the color you chose really does pop (great first few pix too btw) and looks really good on the car. You painted over my favorite color, but it turned out really nice. Props!

look forward to seeing where your project goes.

I also gotta say, the restraint of the azine members and lack of leghumping female members to the point of them not ever coming back is impressive. props to all you horney little bastards for not running off the few girl members Ive seen on here
I'm pretty grateful that theres no leg humping occurring...I'd have some 'splainin' to do to my other half...He's actually my painter. Does amazing work if anyones interested.

I think I would leave the foglight housing black, instead of red (as in the pictures).

Also, we have a multi-quote button in the lower right hand corner of each post. It's the middle icon. It allows you to answer multiple people in a single response. Be sure to try it out.1
Seriously, this is the best advice I've ever received...The single reply was killing me. THANK YOU

Glad you enjoy the red. My boyfriend was the mastermind who laid that beautiful color down. I'm enamored by it.

Well then, tell your boyfriend he did a good job. Check out the OEM foglight housing. It's a small change that will make a big difference on the look of your Type S.

20 minutes and a Plasti-Dip job to the front grill made me a pretty happy girl yesterday! Best $6 Bucks I ever spent. Love this stuff!

Plasti dip came out great! There might be a meet Wednesday night at the new home depot parking lot on Route 9 in Wapp Falls. A variety of cars usually come out, BMW, Corvettes, TL/TSX, ricers -_- lol.

Very Nice TL.

I've actually been thinking of maybe a dark yellow for my TL. My parent's sport model 01' Cavy has it. I call it Ferrari yellow. Haha. Also have yet to ever see one, gotta stand out.

plasti dip turned out great. I would go with the black fog housings as well, I think they would go with the grill perfect

Do it! Everyone says "Why?" ...and the answer is because I'm tired of seeing it my car EVERYWHERE... now...i won't see it..I'm the only one with it....They don't have to like it, but they'll certainly remember it!

Your car looks great !! Paint work is top notch..don't let the NY roads stop you from going low and getting 19s. I'm riding low on coilovers with staggered 19s and drive through Brooklyn , queens, and manhattan.. Just gotta be careful ..

Thank you, thank you! Honestly, I couldn't believe how easily bent the stockies are...they're such a beautiful wheel and Im a seriously aware driver and i still got injuries...I definitely want to go with 19's. What coilover setup do you have? And are your wheels 8.5? 9? Rub/NoRub? I was looking into getting the New Tein S Tech Advances , heard some awesome reviews on them. Sorry for the questionarre, I've been going through the threads and theres so many variables to the wheels fittments ....its really dependent upon your suspension drop, offset, wheel thickness and whether you've stretched the rubber to haha

When I think of "Red" and "Honda" in the same sentence, I automatically see a 95 Coupe with faded patches and peeling clear!!! hahaha No Milano Red...I just couldn't do it to myself..haha Glad you like it

Love the colour! Props for being original! I agree with the others about losing the red on the fog light housing, but the rest is perfect!
