Ah! I walked around the parking lot a bit and even ran into a couple buddies from Pohanka. The new 2016 Accord looked pretty sweet! I did end up having the car aligned. They did a good job and I got to sneak back there for a bit to watch! That Honda dealer is so nice & brand new!!
I got you guys! This in ground lift was fucking beautiful!

Quan, you need one of those in-ground lifts at your place!

Glad to hear it Quan, thanks for your business. Our alignment rack is gaining popularity from our clients with lowered vehicles and those in general that prefer that type of lift. Again, thanks!

Yup! I sure loved it. I'll definitely be back for another alignment when I need one! Plus the service adviser hooked me up 
The car is still floating on 4 jack stands at the moment, haven't had time this week with work and everything else to finish it up. Thank god for beater cars.
I got the aspec side skirts and rear lip installed. Also installed the Jpipe so I'm pretty damn satisfied with myself. It only took me 2 different jpipes and two different TLs to finally sack up and install one myself
I was pretty satisfied and it wasn't all that bad, especially after installing the rear exhaust a few weeks back.
All in all, I think I've only paid for labor on this car for a handful of things. Rolling fenders, alignment, PDR, I think that's about it. I'm pretty damn proud of myself
Pics tomorrow, I promise guys.

congrats on another man, love the mod list so far. and ya I agree my exhaust was one of my first mods on my car that I bought, absolutely love it. I got the XLR8 quads resonated, love the sound, but most of all the looks. I get compliments all the time

Pics as promised. Finally got the car on the ground this morning before work. So far, no rasp.
ATLP+Aspec =love... although the exhaust does appear to need some adjustment. That 1/4" on the right side is killing me already.

I was thinking getting OEM all weathers but I just love the look of the regular carpets. I'm usually the only one in the car anyways & keep my shoes pretty clean getting in & out

Well on my previous TLs, I always had both carpet as well as all weather ones. If I come across a set of the all weather ones again I'd probably pick them up and throw them in for the winter. Hopefully we don't get snow for another couple of months at least though 
If I don't come across another set I honestly don't care too much, I really love and prefer the look of carpet mats, especially when they're new. It just makes the whole car feel cleaner inside. I got really lucky on this set since I got them as part of a trade with some other parts. I held off on putting them in for a while but I installed my CT short shifter this weekend and vacuumed the car so I decided to throw them in. Love it!!

I'm all weather all the time...I haven't spent an hour trying vacuum the last grain of sand in years...
B's SRX, S2000 AND the TL are all weather. Initially, I did think it looked too rugged for a high end car, but I've grown to love the look.

if you ever want to go back to carpets, what I do is wack the carpets against the ground and brush the carpet so all the crap is loosened up & ready to be vac'd. If you have access to compressed air that works too but from a safe distance or else you get weird marks that take forever to remove

New floormats always renew your excitement for the car.

for a "luxury" car. I think they lasted maybe two days in the car before I took them out and resold them. In our 4runner though which is our beater/tow rig, we love them. I guess another reason why I dont care for the all weather ones is because every other time the TL was my daily driver. I daily it a lot even now, but I have a beater gas saver that I drive a lot of times. If any snow hits, the TL will be parked

Yup! I always smack them against a pole or other hard object to get rid of a lot of the loose dirt/dust.

Also, I lowered the front end another 1/4 inch in an effort to get a more even drop.
Centered the front license plate for now as well. Can't say how long it'll stay but it's growing on me. Before sparking the rho plate debate, I still love the RHO plate but am also loving this new found symmetry to the front end
In all seriousness I'm tyying to decide what to do about the bumper. Either I will repaint and install my aspec kit since it has some scratches, or leave it as is for now until the spring, then repaint and add aspec lip.
Or lastly, do something different, maybe even custom.
