My TL - Hope You Like!! 2nd Try...

Let me know what you guys think. Its not the best setting for pictures, but at least you can see the car. I recently installed the body kit and side body molding. I upgraded to Acura's 19" wheels as well. I am in the process of upgrading the headlight and foglight bulbs to 6000k and I am wanting to buy the Takeda intake soon too. Anyway, enjoy....!!!

P.S. Thanks to Blackura for helping to post the pics!

My second favorite color next to CBP! I like the factory 19's but could use a drop. Not a fan of the BSM. I know its functional, but takes away from the clean lines of the car! your off to a nice start though!!

Thanks for the comments!

Tigga - I agree with you about the drop...I am still debating it. I would like to see a few others with the drop first.

Blanko - Its the Polished Metal Metallic....glad you like!

The FWD model has a few Drop choices... Tein Coilovers, Eibach springs, and some other no-name brand springs


Dude, the 4G looks sweeeeeet..

If you are going to upgrade HID/Fogs... do the headlights as well... bake them in the oven, or send them to JnC... his work is TOP NOTCH

Your car is really making me change my opinion on the 4G TL man. That looks great!

Next time resize the pictures and make them bigger before posting. I already have bad vision haha

Please dont drop it. This is an Acura. Why mess with what the designers created. Its not "pimp my ride". You car looks fab as it is

Thank you sir

Honestly a drop would be sick but not crucial for your car to look good. That's already been accomplished

CL - Thanks! I agree with you...I am still debating whether to do it or not. The car already is pretty close to the ground with the body kit...I wouldnt be able to drop it much. Ill just have to see a few others first to see it I want it or not. Ill definitely let you know....thanks again!

Blackura (awesome name by the way!) - I dont mean to sound like a novice, but what do you mean by "do the headlights as well"? Do you mean tint them or blacken them? I have read on here of some people modifying their headlights, but I am still not sure what is being done. I guess anyone can answer that please....thanks!

Black out or Clear


Here are mine, I Did it myself... but i have alot of experience in doing headlights... If you are not confident, contact JnC.... You have to bake the headlight in the oven, to open it... paint/customize/etc... then bake it again to close... easy task, but precision is KEY.. and patience is a MUST...







Good luck with the ride

P.S. (name is blackura, b/c i had a black tl years ago)

Thanks Blackura. I will likely contact JnC...I dont have any experience with headlights. Your headlights look great! I can see what you are talking about now. It looks like you tinted the lower lights in front too right? The ones below the headlights? Looks great man! Thanks again for the advice!

Keep the suspension the way it is for now and if you feel confident in dropping it at a later time, do it then. Enjoy the car for what it is now even though the mod bug will bite you in the ass very soon

no he didn't tint them, he has SH-AWD, we don't have the reflectors like the FWD.

Here is a pic of JnC's work.

Looks great, the oem body kit is starting to appeal to me more and more. Still think I need to hold out to see if ronjon goes with a front lip.

If you want to see what a fwd looks like with eibach springs, check out my thread here.

I have Teins now, and am planning to upload some pics hopefully tommorow, with Tein/Ronjon grille updates.

Venom - Your headlights look great! Ill definitely contact him and see what he can do for my headlights. Im assuming that I will need to take them out and send them to him. Sucks not being able to drive the car during that time.....but I can see its worth it. Oh ok...I see the difference now between the reflectors on the FWD and the SH AWD....thanks.

Buck - I like the drop on your car, it looks great....but you had the 17" rims. Do you have larger rims now? Does the drop work well with 19" rims and the body kit?

Yea, you will need to send your lights to JnC... eventually, he may invest in a set, so he can do an exchange program... that i am not sure about though

If I was going to get rims for my TL those OEM 19's are what I would get. Love them!

NV,
I wasn't a fan of the body kit until now. I think the only other thing to try is filling out the exhaust exits a bit more. Maybe the new ATLP exhaust, or even the SHAWD exhaust tips?

One hell of a ride you have there!

nice ride! You should get a drop, I have the same rims and wanna see what it looks like lowered. I find you almost need some spacers to make the rims more flush with the fenders, but just my
