Man it looks clean

looks good, may i ask where you got the pedals from?

KarKraze....Sharp looking TL!! I love the aerokit and the fact you also store your car in the winter *lol* I partially store mine in that it never goes out when the roads are salty or messy (even when it rains the cars stays inside). I did notice the Ontario plate....Fellow Canadian here (NB). Congrats on your car - Make sure you keep it looking this good. I know some here modify their cars to the max and I find its sometime too much. Yours is just right :) If I didn't lease my car, I'd maybe upgrade the stereo too by adding a bigger sub as you have....but thats about all I would do except for the aerokit that I have.

KK, your TL looks great. That's a nice list of upcoming mods too.

I purchased them from a custom accessory shop in Toronto,this is their website www.teamsls.ca


Thanks to everyone for their compliments.

karkraze, sweet tl. im looking at the same car this week to buy. its a 2010 sh awd wdp/taupe 6m/t. i live in n.w. wisconsin, the car is in washington state! ill probably have to get it shipped to me once i sign the paperwork. is your shawd a 6 m/t? anyways i appreciate the pics. car looks great! :thumbsup:

I wish it was a manual,i have to contend with using it in sports mode which actually fun,from time to time you do get the itch to hammer it a little lol.

karkraze, i guess we cant get always get excactly the car we want. tomorro im signing for the shawd tl, its got taupe int, i wanted what you got, ebony.:thumbsup: oh well. im glad i found a wdp, and not the black, too hard to keep clean:ugh:

I recieved the rear roof wing,took about 2 weeks to arrive but well worth the wait,this is one more item off the list,tinted windows is next.Here is a few pictures of the wing

karkraze, i like the roof spoiler! looks great. im gettin my tl early next week, and the roof wing is gonna be one of my mods as well. im gonna try and tint my windows as soon as i can. tint looks great with the wdp! can i ask where you got your roof wing? if it isnt too expensive, id like to order one. im assuming it came with the matching wdp paint? do you use some sort of adhesive to install it? thanks for the answers, im a total newbie when it comes to car mods. :what:

I purchased it on ebay,it came painted and you have to specify the colour code in the notes section when ordering,the cost was approx $86.Can shipped,this is the link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...item43a85d7e86

It came with 2 strips of two way tape attached and a tube of silicone,the first time i put it one i did not use the silicone and it did not hold on too well so i removed it and put a strip of 3m vhb(very high bond) over the original 2 side tape and then re-attached,so far it seems to be holding up well,make sure you clean the glass with rubbing alcohol.

KK, the roof spoiler really looks good. It puts a nice finishing touch to any TL.

I had the tint completed today with Formula 1 Pinnacle 30 ceramic tint,here is a few pics of it

kk, very nice tint. thanks for the post on your roof spoiler. i just ordered my splash guards on ebay from acura of reno, and next will be the roof spoiler. so is your tint considered 30% ? :toocool:

You are welcome,yes the tint is considered 30%,however shades can vary from brand to brand so you should look at them side by side for comparison,i choose the Formula 1 Pinnacle because it is considered by many to be one of the premier brands, it has amazing clarity from inside the car and since it is ceramic it will not fade or interfere with satelite signal, i will post an inside shot later.

your car looks perfect. is it stock suspension or did you lower it???

the WDP cars are so nice looking. are those 18" wheels or 19" wheels?

for a car tha tmostly has oem parts on it - body kit/wheels - it looks tasteful, yet aggressive. too many people overdo cars with mods, or mismatched mods and they take a car that started out classy and they ruin it... you, sir, did it right. it looks GREAT.

Thank you for your compliments,the suspension is stock and the rims are 18" stock as well,at some point i may change to 19".

Tint looks great!

F1 Pinnacle 30% is a GREAT choice!

Thank you,i see that you are planning to use this tint as well,i am very pleased with the way it turned out,btw fellow Torontonian here :thumbsup:.

Sport Pedal Installation
 

Did you install the pedal covers yourself?
If so how did you install the brake cover?

I ordered a set and insalltion of gas and foot rest pedals is easy, but brake is metal and not flush for drilling or setting bolts.

thanks

Yes i did the installation myself and as you correctly stated the accelerator and dead pedals are easy to install,with regards to the brake pedals the aftermarket one did match the original so i left on the rubber pad on and put masking tape over the pad,i then placed the aftermarket piece over the masking tape and used it as a template to mark the hole location on the tape using a pen,remove the aftermarket piece and then drill the marking on the masking tape,be careful not to leave the aftermarket piece on when drilling the holes because the drill can move and damage it,the aftermarket pedals are made from aluminum which is very soft and thus easily damaged by the drill.I hope this helps,post pics after.

thanks for advice I will give it a shot

Did you ever figure out what the five acura emplem nuts are for?
I believe they are valve stem covers, one for the spare tire or if one is lost maybe??

Yeah planning to get mine done at Auto-Links (John's a good guy!) Wild guess, but you probably got your car tinted there =P

I still gotta make it to a local meet sometime lol

I did not recieve those,the only one i got was used to bolt on the brake pedal,nice little bonus though.



No i got mine done at Lazer Tints in Vaughan,i had to wait a couple of weeks to get a Saturday appointment since they were fully booked.I would also like to go to a meet but i guess it will have to wait for next year since i will be storing the car in a few weeks for the winter.If you remember hook me up when you hear about a meet,thnx.

Sorry to hear man; Auto-Links was doing a Group Buy for F1 Pinnacle for $270. I heard you paid like 370 or something! =(

Keep checking the Regions Board for meets =)

Thanks for the info on the meets, i did not know about the group buy,too bad :ugh:.

I did two more small mods,added the led bulbs to the drl and the licence plate

very nice karkraze. id like to do the same
- led drl bulbs. what brand did you go with?

any pics of the led plate mod? your tl always
looks good. keep it up! :toocool:

Thanks for checking in on my progress,i purchased the kit from Motoring Max on ebay,it came complete with the resistors and wiring harness,keep in mind though that this only useful for getting rid of the yellowish colour of the standard halogen bulbs and they function well enough for drl's they are almost useless as a high beam,if you need to use your high beam often you may need to consider something different since the Led type bulbs are not projectors and will not illuminate a dark areas well.I will post pics of the licence led later.

Beautiful TL bro!!! I'm taking delivery in November on the 2012 TL 6 Speed Manual. I'm getting in Bellanova White.

Now that is a nice car to get,congrats :thumbsup:



tl3430 here is a pic of the led licence bulb

Attachment 88213

Well i hope i see you as well,i purchased the roof spoiler from e bay,here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...item43a85d7e86

Thanks, how much did it come to? Any brokerage?

Great looking TL!

Cost was appox $86.00 Can +$14 fees,the bill for $14 came from ups about 2 weeks after the part was delivered,most of this info is posted above in this thread.

Thank you.


I like this pic, taken at night with a cell phone but i think it makes the Tl looks a little mean lol

Attachment 88214


this is probably my last picture for the year since the car is now

Attachment 88215

it recieved a complete interior,exterior and underbody detail,oil change and Sta-bil added to the gas,kinda sad to park it but at least i have something to look forward to in the spring,if all goes well i should be able to do a bit more next year :wish:.

loving the progress!

Here is a few pictures of a little project that i have been working on for some time,i did'nt want to post them because i am very busy atm and will not have time to complete this until April/May when i bring the car out for the summer,i ran into several snags along the way but it seems that it should work out allright,so here goes
