I put on the splash guards today and took a few pics. Decided to share with the community. (photo skills aren't the best)

looks awesome!!

SmokeTL

Funny, that's what I like the most, Thanks!

GOOD GRIEF! It looks amazing! I especially like the 6th photo - the rear 3/4 looks incredible in this "wet" shot! Then in the last one, do you see how the BWP just stands out completely among the other cars!? Absolutely stunning! (and this is from someone who does not usually like white cars!!!)

Edward'TLS

Very nice wheels.

The car will definitely look even better with a drop.

luckyjakob

Looks good. I'm diggin the rims!

Treblig

Looks great! Noticed you changed wiper blades, what did you go with?

Nice looking ride, Smoke. I like your wheels.

SmokeTL

Thanks for the responses!

@ Treblig: they are Bosch Icons. Love them at speed, seems like they work better the faster you go. Safely..lol

Ride looks dope man.. Im def contemplating the same wheels with the wifes car.. I think once you have a drop you will be in business! Keep it up man!

I agree-- wheels are nice, but they will look 100x better with a drop

I am looking at wheels right now, same specs.. 20x9 +35... any rubbing issues yet?

How do you plan on dropping it? Also...FWD or AWD? I hate how you can't tell right away on the MMC 2012+ TL.

SmokeTL

No Rubbing, wheels turn lock to lock no rubbing.

Dropping it...not sure how I am gonna do it. I want a small gap eliminating drop. I am not sold on just doing springs....not sure how that will hold up...its a daily driver. I don't think the small drop I want is worth the Tiens expense.


Its FWD, Tech. I am about to put the advance wheels on for the winter....maybe if my girl loves me she will get me the Teins

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

LOL... I've had Teins on both my 3Gs... expensive, and a little bouncy... but definitely a controllable ride height

I put H&Rs on both my 4Gs... they've really held up well... unfortunately, they dont make aftermarket shocks just yet, to counteract the extra spring load...

I think H&Rs makes a set for the FWD now... I had eibachs springs on my 07 TL-S and 04 TSX once, and i HATED them.

OmAy2006

Very nice...I like....

Question: Are the splash guards easy to put on...I have had mine in the trunk for almost a year now.

njsimons

Extremely easy. All you need is a Philips screwdriver.

SmokeTL

I purchased a hand ajustable ratchet it looks like a sun dial. I was able to get in and screw/un screw with out taking off the back wheel. I did have to jack the back up to access the screw on the top of the splash guard. The dealer wanted $120 to install. I paid $11 and 30 mins of my time. Very easy.

njsimons

Those are the wheels I wanted for my car. Great choice they definately look good on your car.

B.G.

Did you have the option of picking from lower offsets? Did you ever contemplate running the 10.5" rear?

OmAy2006

...ok so this can be done without taking the back tires off...I will foresure than try it this weekend...I always thought back tires needed to be taken off...Thanks

SmokeTL

I thought about it for 2 seconds. Then I realized it might look good but, I am gonna drive this everyday. So tire rotation was a consideration.

I don't remember the other offset choice I had for this wheel. I think it was in the 20's. Way to aggresive for 20x9. I wasn't willing to trade function for looks.

I can always adm
ire the hot rides on azine...lol. you guys are gonna make me go broke.

FYI if you are going with springs you are limited to Eibach, H-Tech, and Tein S-Tech. H&R has a modle number for the FWD but it is not available for sale yet. I called H&R and they said this part is still in R&D and not released yet. I was disapointed because these guys had sold on H&Rs. I have a set of H-Techs on order. I decided to go with H-tech because of they are less agressive than the other two options and Easy has them and gave a good review said the road like stock.

damn....sexy

was always a fan of the vossens....looks great Smoke...future plans ?

SmokeTL

Thank you sir!

The only thing I may do is the rear window spoiler. I wanna see how it looks with out the skirts before I do it though. Gonna keep it simple.

Besides, I am gonna need money for my next baby...a Victory Hammer.

jspagna1

Went the same route with my wife's TL. Added the splash guards and a rear roof spoiler and I think it looks great. You have the rims so car looks just right imo. Anymore would be too much.
I also wouldn't drop it that much.

FYAH TL

Nice wheels and your car look sweet...With all that space showing between the wheel a BBK kit will show nicely. Keep it up!

I love it!

Please drop it after winter

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Yep, I'd do the drop too....don't know if I could wait until after winter though.

Edward'TLS

Does a BBK kit exist for the 4G TL ?

FYAH TL

, Brembo can make one on request and Rotora has a complete BBK kit for the 4G front and rear. In fact you can have it customize to your liking such as 6 piston caliper for the front and 4 piston caliper rear with 15 inch rotors....I have a set on order which i'll post pics when i install it.

SmokeTL

^^^^ I swear you guys are dangerous!!!

Nice looking wheels, was actually looking to get the same ones, but all 4 of the rears Any chance of some closeup pics of how much the wheels poke out compared to the fenders?

Edward'TLS

I checked the Rotora website. There is nothing available for the 4G TL. No BBK. Not even drilled and/or slotted rotors.

Please give me your link.

fk sexy bro congrats.....

FYAH TL

Rotora does have a BBK setup for 4G TL but there website is not updated with the new products. They have recently changed and upgraded there calipers. The part #'s for the BBK i had them make for me is RFK.311.01 for the front and RFK 312.01 for the rear. Call Steve @ Rotora (909)590-1712 ext. 106...for all the kits that's available or can be made for the 4G TL.

SmokeTL

The 1st 2 pics are as close as I got. The wheels don't stick out at all. Also they aren't the 10.5's they are the 9's. I have seen the 10.5 all around on a accord.....looks ok...but i am not sure how functional it is in the front.

I took the rims off already for the winter.....a little qucker than I wanted to. I got a 2 inch scratch on the front left wheel.....If I can't get it repaired, I am buying a wheel.

Thank you sir.

That set up is gonna be crazy on your car!!!!!!
For me..not sure if it makes sense. During the winter I run the Advance 18's. I fit a finger between caliper and rim.
