WannabeG

I got my rear springs in





Fronts will come in 2 weeks.

Slepybear

you put in just the backs?? haha, won't that make it look like a reverse drag car?

WannabeG

Im gettin there, Matt Ran out of time last night. I will put the fronts in over easter.

Damn matt you got a lot to get done next weekend! I'd be hesitant to clear coat the film...I would try a test piece first. Plus if you wrap the film like I mentioned adding layers of clear coat may make it difficult to fit pieces back in place afterwards. I had a little trouble with one I did. I'll be doing a few pieces this week so I'll keep you posted on tips/tricks. You should bring the hid kit by when you get it and I'll look at the connectors and I'll try to give you some ideas on hooking them up.

05TLRIDER

Out of curiousity, what are you doing with your old hood matt? I may be interested in taking it off your hands if you're just going to throw it out....it will save me a trip to the junkyard to pickup a scrap fender to practice doing body work on. Just thought I'd ask.

Slepybear

Yeah once I get the kit I will bring it over, and then you can have my hood once i switch them... Any chance you could come over saturday and help us do the install?

And I looked at the video and it seems pretty easy if you just do it after you install it, and then it should last a little longer at least.

Slepybear

I just got 12sq feet of carbon fiber vinyl, and my HID kit, hopefully the HID gets here by friday

Slepybear

I just picked up some Turtle's Chrome cleaner, amazing stuff..
I took some pictures after I did the first one and realized how much it was actually doing...

jdmben3.2

WTB 03 acura tl type s lip kit and lowering springs for 03 type s

Slepybear

Haha, I can't wait!
As soon as I get the rest of my parts installed and a real good detail done, I will be ready. I've been finding a few sick spots to do some shots at, and I'm sure you know some yourself

Carmodifier

Don't forget about me

BlackuraTL

Do you have enough to spare or sell to me of the CF vinyl? When were you gonna put it on, I could use the help.

Slepybear

Well it cost me like $100 for all that I got, and I got a lot of plans for it, but if I end up with some extra I'm not opposed to selling you some, or maybe giving you a little so you can decide wether or not to buy your own



and travis, i'm not opposed to another acura, especially such a clean one

Carmodifier

Haha, thanks buddy! Lookin' forward to the shoot!

WannabeG

Lol my car is gonna feel left out hahaha ill get my buddy josh to come with his G lol

So it's about that time I do an interior LED swap and replace the coffee color lights with some blue LEDs! I am planning on buying the kit from LEDautomotive.com. Here's the link to the kit: http://ledautomotive.com/category.php?id_category=19. I can either buy the LEDs that require me to solder a resistor and the LED into the stock bulb housing, or with no soldering required but these LEDs cost twice as much. I am probably going to go with the LEDs that require no soldering to make the install a lot easier. I know some of you have performed this swap [Kyle]. Where did you get your LEDs from? I would greatly appreciate it if you guys would help me perform this modification since I have no idea how to dissemble my dashboard.

Takata 18

Planing on doing all this tomorrow? What time are you coming over? Josh will be showing up and probably KK. Call me tonight to set things up.

Slepybear

We won't be doing it all today, but hopefully a lot of it. I will probably be coming over around 9

Takata 18

Got alot done today Slapy. If that line on your powers steering pump would have have not been damag we coud have tried to do your fogs. I do like the new bumper more.

WannabeG

SO yea, jealous i couldnt come lol i am so ready to be done with school for this year. Only one month left...

Slepybear

My car looks completely different, can't wait to hook up the fogs.

I'll post pics of everything tomorrow, I'm so tired, I just finished working on it, and we started around 10am

Carmodifier

+1 Pics [Can't wait to see it in person]

05TLRIDER

Sorry I didn't make it yesterday matt, but I fell back asleep waiting for you to send me jorges address and then your phone call woke me up yesterday afternnon. What was wrong with the power steering hose? What do you have left? When are planning on finishing everything up?

Can't wait to see pics of everything, or to see it in person!

Slepybear

The power steering pressure hose (I think thats what it was called), had a crack and leak, and was dripping the power steering fluid out onto my alternator pulley, which was causing that god awful squeal. That thing was a bitch to get out, and Jorge, my man, took it on head-on... We helped but he just went for it, and got it done, so everything is fixed in that department now.

As for the foglights I still need someone to help me do the wiring.. I have been reading some of the write-ups, and it seems that the daytime bulbs are where most people are splicing their power from... Whenever I get to get this done, I will also need to cut out a small part of my bumper that is pushing up against the new bumper cover.

I'll put up pics in just a little bit of everything so far!

Slepybear

Alright, as promised, my pics...
This weekend we got through quite a few things--
-JDM bumper
-Hood shocks
-Spark PLugs
-Carbon Fiber (Interior and B-Pillars)
-Wash
-Headlights and bulbs
-And the power steering flush, refill, and install of a new hose (PITA)
-Probably more that I can't remember

still not feeling the grill or the cf. but the jdm bumper is pure sex

my moto, real cf or gtfo. i have some fake printed cf on my hood latches and i regret getting the fake cf.

WannabeG

Im digging the CF interior. Were you gonna do the hood? Looks good man. Cant your 18s on!

Slepybear

i got a real CF hood and the mugen grill, but the hood was broken when they shipped it to me, so I am waiting for the new one before I put on the new grill.

And I think I am going to wait to put the 18's on til I get some new brakes and pads, these ones are too dusty

WannabeG

Well whens that?

Slepybear

I'm going to try to buy some new ones in the next couple days.. then install before the 10th hopefully

WannabeG

W00t.

I was wondering who was going to the Minnesota Cars & Cafe this coming Saturday, April 3rd. It is going to be located at the MotorPlex Minneapolis [8200 Audubon Road, Chanhassen, MN 55317]. Here's a link with more info.: http://www.mnsportcompacts.net/forum...ad.php?t=94678.

WannabeG

I'll shoot you a text Saturday morning. I should be there wandering around.

Now THAT looks like my kind of event. I'll be there.

05TLRIDER

^^ If you're going Saturday, I'll definitely join you!


The new bumper looks good matt. Looks like you have a couple wrinkles in the carbon fiber pillars....if you need help working them out let me know. I'd also be willing to help you with the fogs too. If it were me though, I'd pull a dedicated power source for them. I'll be working on car again this weekend and probably most nights this week. It seems like I have too many things to do and no time to do them.

Slepybear

Me and my friend Brady were looking at my engine bay last night and then impulsively did this....
