The JDM moel comes with them but the USD F sport does not, you can put the JDM ones in but there is not even a spot for it on the staulk. You have to take the steering wheel off to change it all or put a little rocker panel switch in.

Thanks BG, I will say I am happy about the gs, there is no fender to roll, so that's a good feeling, just lower and slap some wheels. Give me a year, love this car!!!!!

I think you should turn this into your Lexus progress thread...
what are your plans for this one, Brian. You already know you can't leave it stock!

I think it will be left stock. I really think the car looks great as is and the headache of modding it just isn't there for me.

If anything I would do the f-sport lowering springs but that would be it. I paid a little extra for the fsport because of the styling.

Brian, we'll revisit this convo in 4 months from now...let me know if you need an extra set of hands for any modding that occurs in during that time...I'm always up for learning a new brand/car and how they go together...

My name is Brian and I would like to introduce my Acura TL and its progress so far. Here is the day I bought my Basque Red Pearl 2010 TL, November 7, 2010. I got it for 34,300. It has the 18'' wheels with the Tech Package.





Here are some pictures before the slight modifications began.






Then I couldn't stand the grille much longer, so out came the paint gun. Well, the paint gun comes out every weekend anyway's. =)






Then I ordered and installed the OEM lip kit. Not crazy about the front but oh well. Also added 3M 20% Tint.





I really hated the long clear strip, so I tined half of it to resemble the AWD covers, then I just replaced them. I also waxed and sealed the paint.










Now I am at the next phase of my progression. I have ordered TEIN SS, TEIN EDFC, which will be molded into the dash where the empty slots are. I also purchased Front and Rear camber/toe kits from SPC. I like to do things the correct way so I am not replacing tires sooner then I need to.





I ordered wheel adapters from Ichiba through a vendor, only to find they don't make them for our car. I will have custom made wheel adapters soon, to make my Stock wheels flush with my fenders.


Future Mods:
  • Install my suspension, summer time
  • Order Spacers
  • Ron Jon Front Lip OR 2012 Front Conversion
  • 2012 Rear Tails (Undecided)
Thanks for the post. I have a '10 TL in Gregio and need to replace a wheel well. Do you get your parts mostly through Tien?

^^It would be be pretty boring, besides buying a new wheel since i rashed it, nothing much has been going on!

I do have an update for this thread though, someone is buying my front coversion and I am repainting the color of their car. So pictures are coming!

But a thread dedicated to the GS-F would help us pressure you into modding it
