Your paint is easy to match.

Got the bumper at speed concept too btw.

So if any of you need parts from Acura, go talk to JJ. All my shit came from Ron Tonkin, for a lot a lot less.


Also PAGE 75!!!

 

ok so I get down and out and what not but WTF:
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/19x10-5-28-wtfbbq-56k-please-cook-some-steak-714323/

that honestly looks like the hispanic guy I see on my way to work with a surburban dumped with those little wheels sticking way out.

 

Called Mexi-Flush

 

^^ you're our resident expert on stance Kyle, wtf is that! that should get a stance fail lol

 

I wouldnt say expert.... but those are not his wheels if you read into his thread. Was just messing around with a friends set.

The offset is right, just too wide of a wheel.

 

wow i am getting flash backs of 1995ish when lowrider magazine was popular.. all its missing is the cow stickers on the sides of the door

 

Side note since we are on the bumper subject.. i wonder how hard it would be to put a TL bumper on a tsx... the lights are close to the same its the grill part that would be diff..

 

mine's pretty bad. its got a chunk of paint missing the size of a dime and spiderwebs all over it... think my brother ran into something with it before i took over the payments... and, and and also, and also. i waan da lip

how much for lip only?????

 

i think the TL has longer headlights... from side to side.. iuno but that'd be sick to see a conversion

 

really would not be worth the time. Better off just getting like the voltage front end or the spoon front end

 

I see, im not sure if im gonna get rid of the bumper yet or not. Ill let you know though. I planned on keeping it as a "winter" bumper

mmmm spooooooon


--------

More new parts showed up today.

VLED fog lights.

Gonna use only one of them on the rear as a rear facing fog light.

Also, paid for a new steering wheel last night, should ship monday.
CSL spoiler should be here by monday.

 

so will you have it on before the spring meet?

 

Hopefully ill have the spoiler put on. Ive got to get my trunk repainted still, but that will be for free. So when that is getting done im gonna ask what it will cost to mold it in.

Bumper probably wont be on, unless all i paint is the bumper and i dont blend it. But then again, i dont have the lip or fog lights yet.

Steering wheel...still need to find a place to wrap it.

Rear fog...yea that will be done soon.

 

dynamats are expensive but they are bulletproof on quality.
years ago, i used fatmat on my tsx and when weather got sizzling hot, fatmat (tarp) melted and leaked down the seams on few doors.
after that incident, i only used dynamat even though they are pricey.

 

haha..
oem4less @ speeds


tl's bumper will look too bulky on nimbler looking tsx. you have better choice such as 04/05 Mugen, 06/up Mugen, and Spoon.


your wdp will be one helluva unique tl

 

Ha, i think we just screwed over Tonkin now that we know Speed has a account with them.


I hope these new mods will help out, im tired of doing as much as i do and every time i show it, it gets no coverage or people think its a TSX (not trying to bash on TSX's)

Also Min, one of the guys on Team Vanquish lives right by you, says hes waved at you a couple times thinking you were me. Was tell me that he saw my car with a police sticker on the back window. He drives a Yellow/Carbon Fiber WRX on Black RPF1's

 

people who still thinks tl = tsx are dumbfucks.. funny thing is if your in tsx, people asks if its tl. some guys thought my tsx was tl, and now they think tl is tsx.

yellow wrx? i haven't noticed it yet.. maybe i was too carried away doing something. i saw your brother yesterday though. black rsx with black volks and yellow fogs on.


btw... i was bored today and went through my old threads for some pics.
take a look at my old tsx if you guys are bored too

people think my car looks like some POS TL I don't get it

Min - saw your TSX in person!

 

i think your the only one left in azine that actually saw my tsx

 

nice tsx min.. what did you use to add the aftermarket stereo?

 

Pfff....its those POS TL-S wheels....

 

its been a while so i'm not pretty sure. i was so into stereo and can't believe i forgot all those things after few years...

i know i used aux adapter (may be from shonda?) and ground loop isolator to eliminate ground noise. used jl e6450(?) 6 channel to power 10 speakers and two subs in the trunk.

this is a later setup. ditched alpine for eclipse 2din unit

https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-tsx-photograph-gallery-127/eclipse-avn-5435-installed-672247/

 

how much did car toys charge to make the double din slot? i am looking to do the same just dont know if i want to do it there or have them take out the stereo and make a custom slot in its place.. (its were i draw the line with fiberglassing)

 

Brandon, i just posted in the Spring Meet thread. Has a couple pointers to get it made into a sticky so there isnt 2 pages of bumps

 

CSL Spoiler is here

 

sweet thanks

 

i believe it was around $500 for the install and fiberglassing. i didn't like how others' came out where they fiberglassed it on stock stereo spot. also if you just add on navi like what i did, you still can use stock cd changer, sattlelite radio, etc...




i'll be totally jealous when you mold it on.

 

I think im gonna go to Tualatin Auto Body on tuesday to see what they can do. My trunk is getting repainted by them anyways, so hopefully they only try to charge me for the molding and not the paint.

 

probably you can get a package deal by painting roof too.
or for the shows, get faux carbon fiber overlays for the roof. it'll sure catch people's attention.

 

kyle, not gonna order one of this??

 

If anything i would wrap the roof, but at like 300-450 to wrap the roof in vinyl, that goes on the back burner.

I stopped following these after a while, how much are they going for?

 

Dont mind the dirt.

But here is what the spoiler looks like just mocked up on the trunk. Tomorrow ill work on some photoshop's of it molded on.










Also found a place for my rear facing fog light were its only visible from about 10+ ft away from the car, and its nice and low to cut through any evil fog when it comes to be that time of year again.

 

looks cool

 

your ride will deff be 1 of a kind when its done

 

also to update I PMed Ron A to stick the meet doesnt look like he got around to it yet

 

Thanks guys, it needs a little work. there are some low spots in the spoiler that needs to be leveled out. Also the area the comes around the rear "A" isnt centered. All simple fixes, and luckily its not carbon fiber.

 

Spring Meet is a sticky now. So dont spend a ton of time looking for it and not finding it. Its at the top of the page now.

 

they are only 150. i paid off remaining balance yesterday. finally i can adjust my konis without taking off strut bar every single time.


it already looks hot just like that

 

Got a link?? I may wait to see yours before i order.

 

I noticed

there is a meet today at sonic 12 30 then they are taking germantown rd to some place then back to sonic
