What's up guys? My name is Jon I'm hailing from Vancouver BC... I used to be very active on the forums years ago when I had my first car - a CB7 Honda Accord... good times... Modded that thing from stock, kept it clean.

Big part of me missed the car scene when I stopped being so active on forums, stopped Going to the Revscene meets or car specific meetups (I drove from Vancouver BC to Portland OR once for a Car Meet)

Just recently got a 3rd gen TL in 6spd stick with only 138k kms on it.

Don't know what came over me but as soon as I sat in it, it reminded me of my Accord. (Maybe because it's based off the Accord lol) so that night I ordered the TL Type S wheels and taillights along with a subtle rear roof spoiler. Want to keep it mostly OEM looking with subtle modifications for a clean look. See pics below...

I'm pretty stoked. For mods on this one... I'm Not sure if I want to lower it.

I'd like to get the grey rear side markers for them and install an OEM navigation system in it. Browsed through the forums it seems like a huge pain in the @$$ or $2000. Thoughts?

I would also love to blackhouse my headlights or do something about that overwhelming amount of Amber in the lenses.

Definitely want to get the TL A Spec Lip kit. So clean!

Ordering a dash cam (Suggestions? Still need to do my research)

Any other TL enthusiasts from Vancouver?

Hope that helps. I normally woud stay away from ebay stuff but did a bit of research and found those sellers pretty reputable and recommended by some members here as well. Looking back, I think I may have overpayed a bit for the ASpec kit ($1600CAD Painted and Delivered to my door) but IDGAF cause they're gonna make it look SWEET.

And thanks for the compliment THoiBoi although yeah not my car but just an inspiration. It will look VERY close to that, minus the exhaust (I actually love the square exhaust - looks very unique, and I like it quiet) and it wont be dropped. I am prob going to leave it stock ride height with just some spacers.
If the wheel gap is bugging me, then I may opt to lower it slightly.
