Been wanting to start one of these for a while. Finally have gotten around to start my own thread! I'm fairly new to the forum but have had my TL for going on 3 years. Loving it! I have done some work really just only suspension and Tires but thsi upcoming year i have alot more planned and want to share with you all!

Completely Stock 2010 Acura TL Tech



Back Tails and Markers Tinted



Going in for a Drop

Before pic of gap



After pic of drop



New Wheels Set-Up

 

Those are some nice mods. Can't wait to see the cv3's on. What are you dropped on? And to save Steven Bell some trouble you can post all your pics in 1 post.

 

what offset did you use for those wheels?

 

Spray your rotors/calipers, they're looking rusty! Do you have any full car profile pictures with the diamond cuts after the drop?

 

Nice wheel choice! Did you do 10.5 all around?

 

Vossen seems to be getting very popular with the 4G Tl's,looks great,paint your rotor like Heart TL's suggested and you will be golden.

 

Thanks I can of went the easy and cheap route for now, dropped on Tien High Tech Spring, Im gonna be going to coil overs very shorlty here i love the drop but i kind of want it a little bit more aggressive

Front was 20x9 offset 35 The back i cant remember 20x10.5 and was in the 40's. Sorry i can check my invoice here and let you know!


Yeah acutally thats my next move, Living in MN suxs, always salt and other stuff on the roads hopefully when spring comes around ill get that done! Here's a pic, it actually seems like the springs have set in even lower than this pic.




Thanks! No i went 9 in the fronts and 10.5 in the back

 

Nice 2009 TL. The stock wheels look good, but those Vossen will look deadly.

 

Tire Options in the back

Back 275/30/20



Front went with 245/35/20

Test Fitting the Rims in the rear



Found out there was alot of rubbing issues going on, found a local guy that rolled and pulled out my fenders! Did an amazing job, Very Clean work



Everything all said and Done!

 

Very nice! Would like to see a few more pics from different angles.

 

Wheels look great, how much harsher is the ride compared to the optional 19's?

 

Thanks, I'm going to try to dig up some more photos i really didnt take many just here and there my phone and stuff. Plus being winter and snow and salt on the ground I have my 19's on right now!

Here's just a rolling shot my buddy took following me



You know what with the combination of the drop and the low pro tires the ride is harsher i definitely can notice obviously driving it all the time but others really cant tell. But its still worth it really sets the car off!! i wouldnt chose i different option!


Now this is one of my big ideas i really wanna do this spring/summer. IM A HUGE FAN OF MATTE COLORS!!!! Now im sure all of you know about the wrapping a care in vinyl material. Some friendly suggestions what do you guys think of this right here!! Now as well as far as my rims, I would be repainting them as well for almost a very glossy black finish or even a matte black finish.

 

That's a whole lot of Matte!! I personally like gloss colors.

But the car all in Matte would be very unique and maybe a first for the 4G section on AZ!

Hey do have any tint on your car? If not- it would look sweet with an Aero kit too.

 

 

I like the tint on the tail lights & reflectors. Are they painted or is that a film covering them?

 

tail light looks painted.. so does the reflector..

damn i wish i can run the 275 in the rear.. but sadly i am maxed out on 255/30/20. Running 20x9.5 +12 offset on all corners really limit your tire size option.

 

I thought about rolling my fenders.... Didn't need to with the 255 tire wrapping the 10.5 rim in the rear. Glad to see you did it right with the heat gun. Seems some people seem to miss that step. Did you drop with springs or coils? Looks good though, I'm obviously a fan of the CV3's .

As far as the matte... What color? I was thinking of having my car wrapped in a satin black. If you can do it yourself I would totally do it. Me.... well I don't think I have the patience to wrap and entire car.

 

I think there's another member or here who already wrapped it in a flat black, I wasn't crazy about it, but I'd like to see it in satin.

Shuja your car is coming along nicely, are you considering getting OEM or RJ spoiler kit?

 

Nice looking TL man, I'm going with the same tires and the same specs on rims, I have Tein SS coils, do you think I'm going to rub at all or should I go with the 255 in the rear.

 

No I unfortunately dont have any tints at this time was thinking about getting it done with wrap. I really havent thought about a body kit, would really like to start looking at some options.

There film covering, holding up very well! Love em!

Yeah, I love running 275's really sticks the ass out of the car..hahaha

No I'm not nearly talented enough wrapping my own car, i have a buddy here in minneapolis thats just started specializing in wraps so pretty pumped and excited for that.

Are you going to adding a camber kit or modifying ur fenders?? If not you are for sure going to rub and i wouldnt take the risk, tires arent cheap! try the 255 again im not 100% if your still be clear but i would try to atleast get your fenders rolled.

 

Nice!

 

Where did you get the tint? I have Lamin-X on my reflectors just to test it out, and I don't love it. It kind of bubbles up over the letters on the reflectors. Looking for an alternative to use on reflectors and tail lights.

 

Love the Vossens and the rolling shot.

 

Looking good!

 

You know wish i knew what kind of Film was used. I have a buddy that owns and operates a tint place that did it for me!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Now next question! Im looking at getting a sick looking lug nuts to go with the Vossens, You guys have any suggestions? What exactly is the lug nut size used on the 4g TL's?

Your car looks awesome!

 

[QUOTE=JT4;14314022]Thank you!! Now with all that i got in my mind, including body kits, exhaust, coils, wrapping. I have no clue where to start and if my wallet allows me too! Bad idea joining this forum seeing everyones sick rides!. lol

 

I see you live in MN! Do you own a 4G TL yourself?

 

Yes i do 09 WDP.

 

Dropped the car off at the shop on saturday left for Vegas a few days and picking it up tomorrow here are some pics the shops has been sending me threw out the days of the progress of the work



The grill is not going to stay silver like that, the roof and the grill are going to be Matte Black

 

Wow. That looks pretty good so far. Props to you for wrapping the car.

 

 

looks good, ive done this on a c63.

it looks hard but infact its easy as hell

the hard parts are the door jams.

 

Very cool man maybe i'll see it rolling around MN this summer!

 

Man that's coming along nicely. Can't wait for the pics when the car is done.

 

That Blue. Good on you for trying something different.

 

Damn man I can't wait to see what that looks like when it's finished!

 

I wish you'd gotten the spoiler kit before wrapping so that could've been wrapped as well.

 

Once you add the underbody lip kit it will look perfect!

 

PLZ PLZ! dont go with different colors..stick to all one color.. it looks better like that. imho.
