By the picture, he got that M3 rear view mirror style. So 96TL is right about the 94-97 Honda Accord M3 rear view mirror style possibly fits the first gen TL. Other comments, I'd rather not say
jz983: Yah, i think the wheels are slanted, too.

My car sit around that height and my wheels are slanted like that. Usually an affect of extreme lowering, , thus extreme handling.
I like the rims, the lazy eyes, and the front spoiler , mirrors,and side skirts.
The rear spoiler completely rices out the car to death. The grill has got to go also, it looks rather awkward to me, and finally the paint job is hideous, a luxury car at heart has no business being painted fly ass yellow, I do no t care how many freakin Mods it has.
I better not here of any of you on here painting your TL this awful yellow color. I have though ,been thinking about a paint job, since the possiblility of a mugen front spoiler and wing.
BMW has this color called navarra violet. It is actually something like the color of the TL, in the MUGEN website pic, now that is more like it, maybe with a hint of silver in the paint, not YELLOW!

Also, that car is overdone.

yeah...the car is a bit on the extreme side, but the dude has set an example of what *could* be done to our rides. i personally like it, but would never go to that extreme. 'specially cause my ride is my daily driver. clear tails? they looked red to me.

Umm yes extreme handling my car does jus find. What are you talking about? I do not have uneven wear on my tires either nor am I in need for a camber correction. Car was at the dealer a week ago and I had them check everything, struts, tires, shocks.Good friend is a mechanic so trust me I 'd kow if I had any problem.
Try and say you "think" next time. Its kinda annoying when people try n tell you something is definatley wrong with your car, when in actualit there is not.

i still can't believe the dude shaved off all the door handles. just confusing how he gets into the car. but anyways just like turboTL said it's an example of what we "can" do to our cars. people say there's not that much stuff out there for our cars, that's not completely true. as long as we're creative and have plenty of cash to back up that creativity, our cars can be works of art. i personally like the sleek look that our car has. it's very elegent. the only regret is that the car doesn't have that much power. i know that we can use NOS to boost the power but to me, that's just way too dangerous. i would rather have a turbo or supercharger. i'm sure if you have the money, the parts are out there and so are the people that know how to do it. well enough of me rambling now, go out there and be UNIQUE!!!

No, seriously, think about it. The stock car comes with the wheels more or less "straight up" to promote even wear and maximum contact patch. Even intuitively speaking, a "slanted" wheel will have more wear on the inside than the outside of the tire, and have a smaller contact patch.

Yes, I agree with all of you that the car is overdone...so on and so forth. However, it's unique and maybe it's the only one like that of its type. It has turned people head... and i'm sure it will continue to do so - He got my credit for being "different"
