PA represent - Post your whips! (Plan photoshoots, meets & cruises)

What's up AcuraZine

I've had my 06 TL since last year and haven't posted anything and figured this would be a way meet some AZers and plan some photoshoots, meets & cruises. I'm in the Harrisburg area and hope to meet up with some people soon.

So let's keep this clean and not hate on anyone.

Post pics, maybe some details about your car and we can some meets!

Thanks,
Khai

POST YOUR HWIPS!

My 06 NBP 5AT w/Navi & Black Interior

Haha car looks like mine! Yeah, i have some knicks and scratches - hopefully getting a full detail soon.

Car actually rides the same as stock. I just need to get an alignment first to get things tweaked. So i'll keep you up to date. I got the springs as a bonus for buying my spare wheel, so I just got kyb gr2's for the front now. Other bills to pay so no coils! But I do want TL-s wheelsss

Word. I saw the old thread that Pitt, HBG, Philly wanted to have a PA meet. Pretty sure we can arrange that some time. PICS!

just now checking out this thread, Duongbros. I'm rolling to this meet/car show in two weeks. If you can, you should attend or who ever else wants to come.. We can roll down together.
https://acurazine.com/forums/mid-atlantic-311/2011-university-maryland-spring-meet-may-1st-2011-a-813687/

Kwikhas, your 4G is clean. With 15% tint have had any problems with the police? I just got 50%, (yeah 50!, almost nothing). I don't want to stand out, but I wanted to get tint.


It's dirty




updated pics coming soon

I've had tinted rides for the last 10 years in PA with no issues here. I work in cherry hill NJ as well and I have yet to encounter any issues there either and they are much more strict about it. I'm sure i've had my plates run by cops plenty of times but since nothing bad comes up on my record, they leave me alone.

My friend has a website called http://www.maxpowercustoms.net/ that runs a little higher than what you may find on Ebay but his customer service is top notch and he stands by his products. A few years back when i bought some HID's with the fat ballasts an they began to fail a few months later, I made one call and had new slim fit ballasts in 3 days.

I'm trying to see if there are any discount codes out there. I'll get back.

If your still interested, he created a coupon code "Qwik" thats good for $10 off a kit or replacement bulbs.

I just moved to DE from Reading, PA...only 30-40 minutes from Philly and I'm definitely down for a Philly meet if anything ever materializes. My 07 CGP TSX is in the shop right now so no pics unfortunately.

Sounds good man. Then we'll go for a cruise.

Turtle, sounds like you're real close to me. I'm behind the east mall. Maybe we can meet up and go eat and chill somewhere.

Let's do this!

I had the bumper off for a few weeks (H/lights being modded)
If you don't have 1,get a Dremel. some precise cutting and filing to get them to fit. Not hard, just time consuming. Don't cut too much, they need to be secure and angled correctly.

IMO, the Honda fogs are too small for the TL. I've been thinking about getting the 07-08 fogs. not sure how hard it will be to get them to fit.

I can help with some of your mods. I have not done any (and don't plan on) engine mods. I did most of mine, suspension, fogs, camber kit, (front and rear).
