Seeing what you've done with you RL, I'm in for the show.


And Jesus, when you put it next to the RL, you can really tell the size difference. I didn't realize it was that much.

Thanks guys...

Hey diablo I wish I've won the lotto but I'm just a humble guy that likes gadget that's all. I might start parting out the RL sometime next year but don't know yet. I was planning installing the BBK to the TL if Rotora would fabricate me a new bracket so will se when the times come but I'll keep you in mind. I don't predict spending a lot on this beast as much I did on the RL. Keep in mine most of $$$$ went on teins,mugen and 5zigen exhaust and don't plan on doing a heavy mods on the TL because my wife will be driving it most of the time. Also I can even use my work wheels because the TL has same bolt pattern.

Is this picture taken in Bethesda MD off East West Highway. I use to work there and the surroundings look familiar. Congrats on picking up the TL.

Zelaya

Yes that's correct. My office is 2 blocks away from Wisconsin Ave.

Congrats! I made the RL to TL move as well (you may or may not remember me from the RL forums - 2006 WDP RL, Aspec, RonJon Legends).

Zelaya

iTrader: (1)

Yes I remembered you and always follow your thread. I still have the RL.

Congrats! I can appreciate your choice in color....

FYAH TL

Congrats and glad to see you decided to add more Acura to your car collections. After seeing what you've done to the RL with time am sure you'll have the TL looking just as good or even better.

Thanks guys!!! Just a little update, in the past 48 hrs I got the car tinted,replaced interior led,trunk led,licensed plate led,reverse cree led and modify under dash more brighter. Also tried installing my JLC lightning DRL LED but to my surprise the bulb won't fit into the headlight insert. I'll call JLC lightning tomorrow.

In regards to tint it's kind of too dark for my taste for a ESC45 tint. The installer told me it takes 3 days to dry. Crossing my fingers to get more lighter or otherwise I will be going back.

Tint usually lightens a little once it's been applied for a few days. Wait it out

I was waiting for this thread Cant wait for updated pics

potmilkz

you should decide now if you want clear bra before your bumper gets chipped. its best to do when the car is still brand spanking new.

Treblig

Word to the wise. Great advice since I am one that has waited. I got a small nick on the bumper now

Zelaya

iTrader: (1)

Trust me I know but I can't justify paying 1k for clear bra when I can use that money towards Teins ss. I think I'm going to take my chance and leave it that way and in the worse case I'll just repaint the bumper which is more easier and less costly and the TL has 11k miles on the clock so is not new anymore.

AWD_TL

Can't wait to see your LEDs... Please post links to where you got all your LEDs.. There are 924748595 different choices on eBay and I can't decide

hc28

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Looking forward to the painted chrome trim because nobody has done that yet.people have wrapped and plastidipped them but not....glwe

Zelaya

iTrader: (1)

Here are the links for the led's

Reverse light

Trunk

Glove compartment

Front doors and license plate

Vanity sun visor

Let me know if you need anything else that perhaps I missed.
Hopefully everything including jpipe will be install tomorrow minus the roof spoiler. .........I need to resolve the tint issue first.

I'm still devating on painting because I'm not painting the window trims, plus I'm sure it will be a pain in the a$$ to remove them so we shall see.

Okay guys, a little update with photos I took after I added some goodies to the TL this morning. I really like the new look after I installed all the mods I've on my list. The jpipe makes a difference on the pickup line.The car is screaming for a minimun drop so Teins coils might order them next week. I changed the emblem on black as well when I got home, also I did a light smoke on the rear reflectors. Hope you guys like my humble pictures....../

LawnPro

I like your mods so far i have done some of the same to mine. Looks sweet! Did you go with 20% tint?

Zelaya

iTrader: (1)

This is with black emblems. This is a crappy photo but I'll try taking new one.

KarKraze

Nice pictures of a beautiful car

Zelaya

Thanks, I did Huper Optik ESC 45 and ESC 35 for rear window. It looked more darker last week but it's getting lighter which that's what I wanted.

This tint is playing tricks on me. On cloudy days it gets very dark.
