No more yellow fogs.




I always used HID kits for fogs and constantly had issues with either bulbs or ballasts going out and misfiring, so this time decided to try something different to get rid of yellow (im a sucker for all white matching set up). Ended up ordering CREE LED bulbs that came with capacitors.

I like the white and clean look. Still waiting for my philips 6000k low beam to come in and then it will all match. Gotta say the light output on these LED bulbs is about 65% of the regular bulb so I'm contemplating to just throw HID kit but does anyone know of a good reliable kit that they had luck with? I would appreciate any info. Thanks.

 

My friend pointed out yesterday that my exhaust was moving a lot while driving over bumps etc so i spent a little time today to make it more stiff and while at it ended up raising mufflers as far as i could so they are a lot closer to the bumper than before. Seems cleaner.






Still waiting for my painted roof spoiler to come in. Also getting car tinted 35% all around this Friday.

Put in an order for these boys as well (20mm). Should poke factory 18s out a bit.



Taking my accord to the auction next week, my brother is between cars so I let him drive it and now that his new one is almost ready I can sell the accord and have money for full lip, wheels and coils.

 

Roof spoiler went on today.

 

Looking good man!

 

Roof spoiler always does a TL good.

 

Looks great! Keep up the good work.

 

why didn't you just use a 2012+ Rear? looks much better.. especially with a rear-totaled car, I would take a chance and get rid of that monstrosity of a 2010 rear. lol

 

We all know the 09-11 rear looks much better...

 

Nice job on the restoration, Grigio!

That exhaust from the back looks pretty damn good. If it was me, I would just keep that exhaust over the ATLP you plan to buy. I would get the pipes redone at another shop tho and since you live in a snowy state, have the pipes and welds painted black as protection and cleaner look.

 

It is all matter of opinion but the 2010 is more aggressive.

 

09-11 is a TL.

12-up is watered down.

 

Shawdi got some tint! 35% all around. It's amazing what some tint can do to a car.

 

Tint looks great! You're right, a little tint does wonders.

What happened to the white fogs? The pic with the tint has 'em back at yellow.

That was my first time experimenting with that kind of light and it looked great during the day when i put them in but at night time the light output was about 60% of what the factory bulbs were.

When I was replacing low beam hid bulbs with new philips 6000k decided to put factory bulbs in fogs and I actually like the slight hint of blue on top vs yellow on the bottom. I might still get HID for fogs but cops gave me problems in the past for it so might reconsider and just keep the current set up permanently.

 

Looks good-tint is always my first mod.

 

looks great! Are you going to drop it next?

 

As soon as my accord is sold I'm getting coils, wheels and full lip, but non of it will go on til spring. Currently doing my research on wheels and coils. Def no springs. All my friends and I personally went through the whole get springs, go through the trouble of putting them on and eventually get coils later cause shocks were blowing out.

My current fall/winter to do list:

20mm spacers, oem mudguards, single 12" subwoofer professionally installed and carpeted on the side of the trunk, color matched carbon fiber outer grill wrap (maybe), laminx tails. Boring stuff, spring will be fun though

 

I gott say though... don't think I'll ever get tired if this ass lol

 

I totally disagree with this comment. The new rear-end took all the aggressiveness out of the styling of the rear of the vehicle. Might as well be an accord rear end.

 

They harassed you for HID fogs? Is that even illegal ?!

 

The tint looks good, best mod to any car imo. I like your roof spoiler - it adds just enough to the look of the rear, aggressive and sporty.

 

Apparently in PA if you have HIDs in your fogs (specially yellow) they are considered to be flood lights and for off road use only. I got pulled over twice on my accord for 3000k HIDs, my friends got plenty of warnings also.

 

Curves

 

The 4G TL has so much sex appeal, I get stopped all the time and the first thing that comes out of their mouth is, you car looks sexy or that's a sexy looking car. It's a great looking car keep up the good work.

 

You have done an outstanding job on your car taking it from where it was to where it is.

Looking forward to your future mods .

 

 

Good job , and nice car

 

Tint looks good!

 

Awesome work! Just joined the forum and came across this thread. It's great to see guys doing great work like this! Just have a question about the different tail lights, I just bought my first Acura TL this last Thursday, 2012 TL advance. The tail light that came on the car are the ones for a per 2012. Did some of the '12 tl come with per '12 tail lights? Thanks!

 

Love this thread as I also own a 2010 TL SH-AWD in Grigio. Tint looks great keep up the nice work!!

 

Hey guys need help. Just bought an extra grill and deciding what to do with it. Which do you prefer out of the 3?

 

Tough call. I would say not number 2. Makes it look more beak like in my opinion. I'm leaning towards #3, but 1 is not as bad as I used to think.

 

3, just make sure the color match is excellent and paint the mesh behind the grille silver.

 

#2

 

x2

 

#3 all the way - it looks more complete to have it all color matched,

 

3 all the way, what size are your tips?

 

Great Job Anton! Recently got the same model/color TL for my dad with front left damage... thinking about starting a new thread like you

 

4 inches

 

#3 all the way!
