Those are some beautiful looking cars you had yourself rockstar, love the attention to detail on the 04.

Navyman, congrats on the new purchase and thanks for your services! We can't really help you with the door sill lighting, but we have tons of parts for that car on our store. The Jpipe might be worth thinking about if you haven't already, those offer some pretty decent gains for a piece under $500. You can see our online store here: Excelerate's Honda & Acura Store - Japanese Performance Specialist - Homepage

Enjoy the car!

Damn! �� Those are beautiful cars! That's why I love the 3G TL that body looks timeless.

And thanks XLR8 I've been doing a lot of research and most def gonna go with a J pipe from y'all site already priced it out! But couldn't find out if my car would pass CA smog emissions. And your welcome for the service would do it all over again.

Sounds like a plan to me, we have them in stock!

Everything is technically sold "for off road use only" which means there aren't any CARB exemption/approval numbers on those pieces, so for a tough emissions state like CA I'd recommend keeping your stock Jpipe too; this way you always have something to fall back on. The Jpipe doesn't throw any check engine codes so when/if they do a plug in scan you'll be fine, however, you may fail the visual inspection if they notice the third cat is MIA.

Hope that helps you out!
