I started a progress thread so i can mod my car with Pride and opinions, Here she is all washed up and clean. I got her about 2 months ago and will start modding her as soon as i can.


1st mod:6000K HID all around,Yellow fogs,Blue DRL'S

2nd mod: Tein SS With EDFC, Ordered and received last week will install in 2 weeks cause im on Vacation.

Im going to be using my current 20 inch rims while i look around i have a few in mind but undecided.

Future mods: OEM bodykit, ATLP full exaust resonated version.



Sorry Mod i started thread in wrong section can you move it, and how do you fix the huge photos.

Moved, but your pictures are not working. Open up a free account on Photobucket.com, load your pictures there. Then copy the IMG code to post on Acurazine.

Thanks Soni,That's right it's from Paragon Acura. I Would of never purchased my car there because of all the horror stories I've heard but it wasn't that bad. The sales man is my best friend Jose Perez and he got me a really good deal.

I got them at a local autosound place in my neighborhood and i have no clue who makes them. I actually had them in my 09 FWD and they are about 3 years old. Got my money worth on those.

Those second set of pics where posted at work and my internet was freezing so the next set of pics will be in better order.sorry about that.

^^^ yes for labor, so I went there this morning with a 8:30 appointment and waited and waited till 9:30 and no one showed up. Kind of pissed cause i was late to work and didn't get anything done. I'm not doing business with these guys so I'll have to find someone else to install these for me, they lost a customer.

My guy can work on it on the weekends. Sunday included. He'll probably charge you less than $350. I think he charged me $200 but I didn't have EDFC. Work doesn't take longer than 2 hours to install. Just takes long to adjust the heights the first time around.

PM me if you interested I'll set you up with him

Fan, those pictures are just fine-they're not oversized. There's nothing wrong with Photobucket. I've used it since I joined Acurazine and have never had any problems with it.


Your drop looks excellent. Perfect for the TL.

Thanks man, I still have some adjusting to do if you look at some of the pics the front is maybe a mm higher than the rear.
