I also had my roof and roof spoiler re-vinyled. Got rid of the Di-Noc and went with a gloss black #BenZlook
Ever thought about painting it CBP?

Yea. But if I were to ever sell my car that would be a problem. I think the gloss black vinyl looks better and almost looks like it was painted. Good thing is I can take it off whenever I want

It use to ride on H.techs. Now I'm on ISC N1 coilovers. I would recommend H.techs if you're looking for a good spring with not too aggressive drop

Heres a few quick pics.

On H.techs




On ISC's (excuse the pics I'm a noob with my d3000 and its too dark in my garage)



Yes the drop is uneven right now. The right side is sitting a little higher than the left. Will get that fixed when I get my car back from the shop. I'm probably gonna raise the left side to match the right side.

Blurry ass pic of the gloss black roof

Thanks Zela. I thought about debadge and darkening the acura emblems. Not sure yet I might just leave them for now. My mechanic installed them for me in about 5 hours. Tt was getting dark so we set the height good enough that I can drive it to the shop for paint work. He'll be fixing the height issue when my car is out the shop. And yes I know to make sure my mechanic tightens everything well

Looking great - going to get mine installed in a week or two. How far off was your camber/toe when you lowered? Did you end up getting a camber kit installed also?

I still can't believe those are only 19's - they look as big as my 20s! Drop looks great.

Thanks Pete. I did install the ingalls rear alignment kit. I also installed 2 camber ball joints in the front.I have yet to get an alignment so no idea how off the #'s are. My TL is in the shop getting paint work.

So I got the resonator welded today. Man what a big difference on the drone inside the cabin! Still feels the same non-resonated just a lot quieter inside. As for outside noise I think the exhaust is deeper now but less loud.. idk only drove from shop back home.

If anyone in the NYC area is looking for a exhaust shop American Exhaust Shop at 655 Hempstead Tpke took care of it in less than 30 minutes and they were friendly. They cut my exhaust, welded the resonator and readjusted the hangers to accommodate the resonator. They charged me $70 + tax for everything. If you want it cheaper than that, go by the junk yard by citi field but I wouldn't even take my car down that road if someone offered to do it for free

So kinda thinking twice about this resonator. Seems to have killed a lot of the noise. Maybe inside the cabin is just so quiet it seems like theres noise outside? I can't complain about the cabin drone though its night and day with the resonator.

Anyone done a e-cut out on a 4g?

What Magnaflow resonator (p/n) did you put on?

Oh I was just wondering thats why I asked.

Its the same resonator that would come on the ATLP if you got the resonated version. I got mine without it for a while and honestly don't regret it but for driving around with friends and family it gets pretty hard to hear each other during a conversation.

Even when using hands free link you can't hear your caller if your HFL volume is too low and if you raise the volume too much the caller just hears an himself. This is while driving of course
