Thanx guys!

Nexson

Very nice! I actually think I like the rear with the stock grille, since it breaks up the rear better.

love the front grille.

Any headlight plans? I'll be tackling mine next week

6SpdTerror

Now that the grille is painted the headlights look so clear!! I may be wanting to do a smoked or blacked out setup but i cant be without my headlights for more than a day! Im always driving this car!
What are u doing with yours??

Treblig

A pricey option, but you could always get a set of the 2012 headlights which are already blacked out.

6SpdTerror

Sounds like a very pricey option!!

Tks for posting this pic. This is most likely the way I'm going with mine.

whole process takes about 12 hours

- Remove amber lens
- blacked housing/clear coat
- TSX-R projector swap
- GENUINE philips 6000K ultinon hid buls
- GENUINE philips 6000K H11 hid fog kig
- 12 LED amber sidemarkers

i stressed genuine, because there are so many knock off philips products on the market. ill probably do it next weekend

6SpdTerror

I was skeptical about it because i hadnt seen it done on an MBM but i have no regrets!! It looks stunning in person!!

Youre doing all this yourself!?!? We might have to trade cars for a day so u can do mine!!

^ yea, i've done it on all my past TLs... lengthy process, but well worth it

Tarv 09 TL

yo thats a good look man!!! just got my grill so ill done by nex wknd. ill pm so we can get together for tht shoot

6SpdTerror

Good stuff. Im getting the rear lights tinted red like fyah's and im getting a 35% bronze tint put on tomorrow. Its not too dark and will really accentuate the bronze exterior and umber interior!
Im getting there slowly but surely

FYAH TL

Great start. Look so much better with the grill and rear trim painted... everything starting to flow. Once you get the headlights done the front will have a superior appearance . Keep it up!

6SpdTerror

Thanx Fyah! I hope the tails and tint come out nice tomorrow. Headlights look like a lot of work and i really dont feel like being without my car for a day or 2!

Also looking into the SRI, J-Pipe and test pipe for a little boost in power!

FYAH TL

^ The headlights mod makes a world of difference. IMHO not having your ride for a couple days will be worth it when you see the end result. Good thing is you have the headlights guys right in your area...BLACKURA and JnC so the wait shouldn't be that long.

More power ha! I got the XLR8 setup with SRI and the increase in power is unbelievable. You feel the power increase in all gears.

6SpdTerror

You do have a point. Blackura lives not too far from me so ill probably see what he can do. I dont know when Al will find the time tho cuz hes always either working or in the gym like me!!! I always see his car there!

^ lol. i wish... i only get to the gym like 2-3x a week, ever since i got the new job

anyways. ill send you a text when i plan on doing it.. its not super hard, just takes a lot of time and patience. very DIY'able

6SpdTerror

Shoot me a text when u ready so i can probably pass by and lend a helping hand. That way i get to see the whole process

OP, car is coming along real nice , i love the interior color as well as the exterior, color reminds me of my RRP 3G.


Good list right there, if you dont want to sacrifice too much light output then I suggest considering Osram CBI bulbs, newest/hottest bulb on the market. Tough to get a hold of as its so new and the US vendors are selling them for $250 a pair. Specs are 5000k with 3200 lumens, which is the same amount of brightness as the Phillips 85122+ but rather than being 4250k they are 5000k.

6SpdTerror

Just got the red tails done along with the bronze tint @ 35%. Best tint ever for this color combo!!!

mugen_kid

I love what you've done so far That color is pretty bitchin!

Treblig

Looks nice. Do your backup lights now light up red? What about your signal lights?

Nexson

Are you going to cut a slot out for the reverse light?

VQPower37

the car is coming along beautifully!

VQPower37

i would recommend not doing that it looks cleaner without the cutout

Painting the front and rear grill make such a huge difference.
Looks great. Congrats.

dmassott

I think i almostbought your oldwhite one!

6SpdTerror

Thanks for the compliments guys! I dont think ill be cutting out anything ....i like the all red look. The backup camera makes everything look bright anyway!

6SpdTerror

From where!?!? How did u know it was mine?!?

triton3k

Hey 6SpdTerror, where did u get the grill painted?

6SpdTerror

Bodyshop in queens not too far from the dealership. They actually have one of our accounts so they do a pretty good job. If u want more info PM me.

eyi

iTrader: (2)

Nice TL. I like the matched grille

6SpdTerror

Thanx man! Love the RL btw........very clean!! I just looked at the link in your sig

blude85

Hey man I think I almost bought your old car as well! I test drove a white TL-S with full Lip kit at DCH heart a few weeks ago. lol

6SpdTerror

Then its definitely my old car!! So did u pull the trigger?!?

blude85

I went up to check it out b/c the mileage/price they were asking were great...Unfortunately I didn't man cuz I'm not a huge fan of white cars lol. I ended up up going with a 07 NBP instead. But your ride was nice though!

6SpdTerror

At least i hope the NBP u got was a manual! Anywho i drive a lot but my distances are very short. I live right by my job and im always working so i only had about 27k on the car after 3 years. Just out of curiosity.......what were they asking for the car??

blude85

They were askin $26.5k which I thought was a good asking price since the mileage was so low, a few other ones I was lookin at in Jersey were askin 28-29k with similar mileage.
And yep the NBP I got was 6mt indeed! Absolutely lovin it!
