Today I installed the oem wheels back to the car for coming winter. I also installed spacers I got several months ago from Motorsoprts Technology, good quality spacers. I use 20mm for front and 25mm for the rears. I think I could go 25mm for front but I didn't want to the chance. Here's the photos from today.

Front Spacer

I absolutely love those wheels. Don't get me wrong, I love the RJs as well, but for stock wheels I think those look great. Simple and classy ftw.

The factory wheels look much better when you added the spacers with the drop on Tein coilovers Oscar. The place where you did the install looks very familiar. The whip looks nice and ready for the winter.

I went ahead and tried new switchback cree bulb which are two times brighter than regular led's but the only problem I discovered the 12' model don't have the diffuser built in like the 09-11 models. I wanted to do same method Vroom did on his setup to spread the light.Overall I like it I just wish there could be a better solution to spread the light even. Here's the of the light housing.

The ride quality is normal without any vibration, the only difference I noticed was my steering since I'm not using my lighter wheels, but overall I'm happy with the spacers. I actually like it how it looks. It make the car more sportier with oem wheels and a minor drop.

anyone know where any pics are posted of a set of the oem stock 17's with the spacers? Love those oem 18's as far as stock goes... but dealing with the 17's for just a little while... would like to see if spacing them helps the looks as much as it does on the 18's

Hey Z. So is your TL stored for the winters? Be nice to keep the road salt off it.

I may do this to mine next winter.

Hi Scott, I wished I can stored for the winter but lately we haven't received a lot of snow for me to take it out so I've been lucky so mt commuter FWD vehicle does the job.

Racing Pedals

Hey Man,
Great job on the car. Seeing your car makes me appreciate mine all the more (Was considering trading it in for something else prior)
Anyway, I was curious to know if you have installed your racing pedals yet. If you have, can you share a picture and a link to where you got yours from-the racing pedals? I drive the same car as yours. If you can share installation tips that would be perfect too

Thanks Man

Z the TL looks good man! I'm thinking about getting back into an Acura and the 2012 TLSHAWD Advance is in my sights. Shoot me a text if you still have my # and let me know how you like it compared to the RL.
