Twin Cities Acuras
So I saw on Facebook today that Ricekillers is having a meet this Saturday from 4-7 at Wagners... Anyone wanna go?!
Not too sure if you all will have your cars out by then *cough* Jorge *cough*, but I'd be down to cruise over there and at least check it out.
Still debating to put the summer wheels on or wait a little while longer.. I'm not sure how the weather is going to hold up for the next few weeks so I'm not too sure if I want to put them on now and risk it.

Personally, I would wait to put on your summer wheels until they clean the roads of salt and fill the potholes

Besides inthe last RK meet the fat guy put you and I in the back and put that rust bucket DEL SOL in the front with that nice black Camaro. I might get lucky with my paseo.
Tomorrow night is the night bud. 
And I know right?! wtf?? That Del Sol with a 4 inch lift kit was SAWEEEEEEET though.. 
So does that mean you're in to go there?? If so, meet at the movie theater of 252 at 3:45??

I have all the parts sitting in my basement just waiting to be installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated and it would mean a lot to me! I will work around your guys' schedules; just let me know what date works best for you guys. I'll make sure to get everything so we can have a grill out You're always down to help out your fellow AZiners Jorge; I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say we greatly appreciate that! It's hard getting people together for an install meet. I have tried a couple times, but have had no success

I still want some Type S Tails... bad.....Grrr
And smoked Headlights.... LOL
As long as you're cool with Depo, you can pick up a set for like $240 or so on Ebay... Personally I just tinted my stock 08's, but will be looking to pick up one of Ack's blacked out sets one of these days.. also need to do the headlight clearing and black out
Nate, Do you think thats something you could install as well 
I could come to you if that were the case, buy you dinner or bring some stuff to grill. What do you think the damage would be to do my headlights/tail lights? I have the factory red ones now, would i need to snag Jorges to mod them?

A set of brand NEW Type S'rs are only 230 for a set. Hmm so much to think about
But I know I want new tails...
XMRadio
I was trying so hard to not give XM anymore money but, missing the satellite feed thru small town driving.
So called them up today and got 6months for 47$ Since the car normally sits in the wintertime, the 77$ a year promo doesn't benefit me.
They even waived the reactivation fee, so thats cool.
call... and be persistent.
They had a 3month promo for 25$ but That didn't make sense to me.

un installing and installing of the headlights are fairly simple. They have a DIY on the garage section. I would need a few days to actually do your headlights since I'd have to wait for paint to dry.
Materials, such as primer, paint, clear coat if you want them glossy, ZKW-r clear lens if you wanted to go that route. I should have some butyl left over from the pair i'm doing today.

Check this thread out. It shows the difference between stock lenses and ZKW clear lenses. It increases the crisp of the cut off line and increases light intensity.

With the turn signals, we can either Niteshade them, or we can just completely remove them altogether.

It'll be much crisper, almost like a razor blade lol.
This is what my Authentic ZKW clear lenses look like.

This is what my ZKW-replicas looked like.


This is my stock lenses when I first got the car.

They could look like this:

Ok so what would the cost be for the lenses you have?
I like the razor sharp lines

I am... still scared... to take my headlamps out LOL
The xterra no biggie.. Can't mess those up..
This picky technology things that could go wrong with the tl however scare me.
Well, I like the lower headlights better. But I just want to make sure i don't get haggled for them. Are they street legal?

Here's the link for the ZKW-r lenses.

Also, if you haven't had new bulbs since the car was new, I'd recommend getting a new pair.

It's extremely simple. Look at the DIY for bumper removal in the garage. The headlights only have 4 connectors from the wiring harness. Extremely simple. The only thing I can see you having troubles with is getting access to the ballast mounts on the passengers side, you have to remove the windshield washer reservoir to get to them.
I really wished I would have kept my old lights and just traded with someone. I had mine cleared with ZKW lenses. They were sweet on an SSM.
Now, some random ass rich kid has my car - and he has no idea about any of the shit thats on it probably.

I'm actually a little bummed about the wheels.. There is a little more curb rash than the pictures led on to.. There is a little on a couple of the spokes as well, that's the most noticeable part.. He touched up majority of it with some paint, but it still kind of bugs me. I think if it gets to me towards the middle of summer I'm gonna get them fixed up and power coated..
it is still there your reply was I would get more for my car with the lights
NOT!!!!

Cant wait to have Janik clean up my car Saturday. Will let you guys know how he does *wink*
MN plates suck. I have always been upset that I had to drill into my bumper (didnt have to in Kansas City) Any suggestions on what I should do? Grab one of those tinted License Plate Covers? Get a chrome Acura Rim cover?
