ugh! sorry about how the pics turned out. ill post more tonite. hopefully better. can anyone tell me what went wrong here? thanks.

 

I like the color combo. When did you acquire your TL?

 

diddy, thanks. i got it last week on monday, from acura of seattle. it took about four days to ship it to me, about 1500 miles. well worth the wait! just turned over 17k for miles.

 

Congrats!

Any plans?

 

thanks guitarplayer16, i ordered splash guards last week. im excited to install them, and see how they look. not sure about a lip kit yet. im going to get the car tint job done soon. i heard pinnacle f1 is a very high quality tint, i see your going to do the same soon?

 

Congrats and welcome-tints, roof spoiler and maybe a drop will do you good. Also consider a RonJon grill.

 

Congrats,your car looks sharp and i like the colour combo,the tint and roof spoiler will look good on it,will you consider an aero kit?

 

I feel that the body kit adds a whole new look to the TL.

 

Yep - Probably the only tint I would put on my car =)

 

so is an aero kit, body kit, or lip kit, all the same thing? i know i like the front and side body molding, not sure yet about the rear. just recieved the splash guards today. i think they will look good for now, till i decide about a body kit. thanks to all for the congrats on my new tl! oh yeah, karkraze, or anybody who knows, what does a good tint job cost?

 

6MT for the motherfucking winnnnnnnnnn

 

I paid $375 for my tint,the aero package does not include the trunk spoiler,if you do purchase the aero kit the splash gaurds will have to come off,btw i think the taupe interior makes the Tl look more elegant while the charcoal adds to the sportiness,my first choice would have been to get the same combo you purchased but no regrets with mine either .

 

wtf you paid that much for tint? mines was 120 and it was with lifetime warranty against bubbling.. all windows at 17%.. 375 is really steep for tint.. unless your getting something else..

 

so im assuming your price of $375. is with installation. i really wanted a wdp tl with ebony interiror, but they seemed rare when i was looking. you got a point tho about the taupe, elegant. i actually thought it was a light tan, but its more of a light grey color, which i really like. yo pot, was your tint price of $120, just for the tint kit?

 

I am not sure what type of tint you have but the price i paid is the going rate for a ceramic tint,cheaper tints are available but it is for a dyed film which tend to fade to purple after some time,btw i have a lifetime warranty against fading,bubbling etc parts and labour included,the warranty is also transferable to another owner .I did research prices and F1 Pinnacle is not cheap besides it seems we always pay more for things in good ol Canada lol.


Yes tl3430's the cost includes installation.

 

Congrats tl430! As another poster said...6MT FTMFW!!!

 

thanks ucf bronco. yeah the 6mt is awsome! the choices for the cpo 6mt tl's were very limited, so im thrilled to find the wdp,tuape tl from acura of seattle. i just recieved my splash guards on monday. next week ill install and post pics then. ucf bronco, is your tl a 6mt? i think i remember that yours is the cbp color?

 

got some 35% tint all around last night. it really changed the look and feel of the car, i like it!

here are some shop pics and night pics. my next mod will be painted grille/by nexson- or RJ grille.

or maybe the oem lip kit. wow tho, my dealer said $1,184.00 for the front, sides, and rear. + $400.00 for the install.

? for those with the lip kit..... should i even attempt the install myself to save the $400?

 

Stunning!

 

PM inc, read it!

 

Nice tl! Get the RJ grille and you are go to go

 

400 seems steep just for install..you could probably do it with a buddy or 2.

looks great man

 

here is my next mod - oem lip kit install, i did it yesterday and today. it was a lot of fun. not to bad with the detailed instructions. friday i will be installing the roof spoiler, and will be putting on the 19" diamond cut wheels in spring. enjoy the pics!

 

Nicely done man! Kudos for tackling the bodykit yourself!

 

ON WISCONSIN! '
Hot ride...

Still debating if I have the $$$ for the lipkit...

 

Looks like a job well done,your TL is coming along nicely and those diamond cut rims are wicked,what tires will you be using?

 

thanks B.G. , this was by far the most fun ive had working on any car. yestersday i did the front and side spoilers alone, and today my buddy Chad C. helped with the rear spoiler. he also had a dremel for cutting the rear bumper -

tiny from Chitown! hey this kit makes the car imho. it squares it off on the bottom, and it appears to be lower even tho i dont think it is. $$$$$ - just do it ......nike

thanks KK. yeah i have all winter to decide on a summer set of tires. i have no idea what ill be buying. got any suggestions? what tires are you running?

 

I just moved from Madison to Schaumburg, IL...
And yes, I'll do the kit, but tint first, and the kit in the spring.

 

Still running stock tires,a lot of guys here like the Continental DWS,my personal preference is the Nitto Invo's,i am waiting until spring as well,for now i am trying to get some performance parts,jpipe on order, waiting for the HFPC and intake.The aero package adds a new dimension to your car and really makes it look better .

 

wow great choice...i really wanted a manual too but I also wanted the ebony interior. Unfortunately they didn't have that color combo and I was too impatient to wait for a MT to show up. At this rate, you're car will be complete in no time. Looking good.

 

Hey tl3430,

Where did you get the 19" diamond cut wheels from and how much did you pay for them? I am going to do the same thing on my 2012 6MT and put them on in the Spring. I'm just looking for the cheapest prices right now.

 

http://www.allfactorywheels.com/bran...FQ9Y7AodRkI7fA
thats the cheapest site for diamond cut wheels

 

allfactorywheels is a good price, but i think there wheels are all reconditioned/refurbished. i personally wanted new wheels. MYT6MT ill send you a pm with who i bought them from. i dont know if the mods want me to be advertising on here for certain vendors? anybody else want a pm with where i got the wheels fell free to ask. i cant wait to put them on in spring. my roof spoiler will be here tomorrow. im gonna take lots of pics of the install, and then post them by the weekend.

 

I like the updates!

 

Thanks for the Info! BTW, my roof spoiler is coming today as well.

 

here are a couple pics of the roof spoiler install. tomorrow ill take some good shots without the tape that will be on it overnight.











im very happy with the paint match and the price of the spoiler.

 

good job with the OEM kit

How much fun was it "sawing" away at your rear bumper? First time i did, my nerves were on edge

 

Here are couple pics today of my progress thus far. Im done with mods til spring when im going to buy some summer tires to put on my new 19" diamond cut wheels. This winter i will stick with my 18" alloys and the all season michelins. The last pic was taken back in september when i took delivery. The shipping truck was huge!

 

I had fun installing the kit but it was a strange feeling cutting that rear bumper........ even drilling holes in the bumpers was kind of weird.

 

Well you have done a bangup job, thus far. Great work! Congrats...
I think you should research your suspension, or springs. Would make a HUGE visual impact.

About your grill, still thinking of having Nexson paint it? The guy does about the best paint work I've ever seen. He's got such an understanding of how paint works and what works best for what condition...he even matches the orange peel finish to factory. Pretty crazy stuff, and extremely nice guy.
