Work in Progress

Hi. I got this 05 last July but my job wasn't very stable so I really didn't wanna drive this car for few months. Now, it seems like my work is little better so I did few stuff to this ride. I'll just finish off with A-spec, roof spoiler, rear smoked marker, and tail lights.
Debating if I should go with newer base or Type-S lights.

Thanks for looking.

They are Axis Matrix, you can tell easily from the lug nut area how it has square holes next to each lug and you can also tell by the bolt pattern by the lip. I guess its easy for me because I had Volk GT-Vs before lol

Looking good man! You picked the right color

The A-Spec kit will finish it off nicely

Thanks guys. I wish they were Volks but I got them less than $1k with the tires so I'm happy with them.

WWWWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After owning this car for 7 months, I didn't realize that everyone else doesn't have a door trim. Is this a Honda option?
Wow, it's shocking. But it didn't bug me. (now, it does little bit, thanks pearlite TL! jk) I'm afraid I might have a different color underneath. Actually, it helped me few times since my car port is pretty small. It touched the wall few times. Guess they are staying

^ I got the car used and even didn't realize the car had extra molding. I saw it, I touched it, I never realized it was something extra. If I had a choice, I wouldn't get them. oh well. it's pretty funny. It would be definitely cleaner w/o them.

So I got them.
Also the roof spoiler was added.

I'm debating to go with the A-spec kit now or later. I think I'll be pretty much done once I put the body kit and the trunk spoiler Gotta debadge too. I spend too much on my cars.

Those tails look great man! I really like them.

The A-Spec kit will really help set off the rest of the car. I'm finally getting my front lip on this week with the rest of the kit and I love it. Even my parents, who don't know much about my car, said it looks really good.

haha, if I can afford to buy 10TLs, I'm not sure I'd buy used 05 TL. It's a gate for the local winery. I live in a near by shed.

I'm little afraid A-spec will lose the "cleanliness" of this car well, it's too late, I've already paid for it!!!

Nah not at all. It will make it look a little more aggressive while still being subtle
