Xdmds's Progress Thread

Got this 2 months ago with 31,000 miles on it. CBP 2008 Acura TL base 5AT. Bone stock. Only things I've done since purchasing it is oil change and new brake pads. I need to get new tires before the winter. These pictures are right after a wash.

I ordered a stealth cord for my rx65 radar detector so I can wire it directly to the back of the rearview mirror since I have the detector mounted to the left of the mirror at the tint strip.

Also just ordered some LED's to swap the dull interior lights.

I've got so many mods I want to do but school makes it impossible to afford them all T.T

Hi, welcome to AZ. There are many cheap mods you can do, there's a thread somewhere you can search up.

P.S. Stay away from user: Swoosh

He's a gibberish speaking fellow that asks people to do strange things via private messages. Just watch out for him.

He tends to ask for n00ds via PM. Be careful. Stay away.

The XLR8 catback has been installed! Took about 1.5 hours with the help of 2 of my friends.

I haven't been able to get any out of car videos yet, but here's some light revving in the cabin. I love how it crackles/gurgles slightly on overrun in 1st gear.

The wheels look good-a little bit of a drop would top off the look.

XLR8 base resonated catback videos

Here are some vidoes with the catback installed. Unfortunately the only thing I have to record with is an iphone.
