not feeling those tails really. Other than that, sharp looking car

 

Sweet

Unique

 

What PROBLEMS did you have?

Your car is looking great

 

looking sick

 

The white tails and white interior pieces are a bit much IMO, but I love everything else. I really like your taillight renderings.

 

I'm with everyone on the tail lights
and interior paint. Makes the car look cheap
and
No offense to ACK he does great work.

Whatever you like though

 

I'm going to thumbs down those tails as well.

 

Car looks eerily familiar, I have the exact same tails. I think ours got done at the same time. I have a plasti dipped grill also and ASPEC.

 

Love the way the tails came out! Very fresh looking.

 

Thank you very much! glad you like em =)

even I needed to adjust to them LOL but i love em to death.
I was actually thinking about refinishing them myself either a dark gunmetal or gloss black, but the plastidip helped alot hiding the wear on the aspecs. The chrome was peeling off

yea seems like its either a love or hate sort of colorway lol
the interior pieces are wrapped in matte white vinyl not painted..
and yes Ack does greaaaat work!

scroll down a bit more for some big time repair bill..

Bruce did tell me one other person had this done by him. And also from what I know deathmetal, you, another member, and myself are the only ones rocking these tails.
Do you have a pic of yours? I would love to look

Thank you Mr. Bell!! Oh yea I requested up top for a thread name change to "Byomes' WDP TL-S Progress Thread" thanks in advanced

So heres a list of what has been done! (First time writing up a list and I surprised myself!)
1. Full Aspec kit
2. Ksport Kontrol Pro coilovers
2. Roof painted gloss black
3. Cleared headlight amber diffusers
4. Bought a V1 radar + hardwire kit and using this amazing diy. the install ended up flawless
5. Plastidipped emblem + grill + rims
6. Color matched tails by Acktl
7. 3M 1080 Matte white vinyl wrapped interior pieces
8. F+R dome lights 6k, vanity 5k, doors red LEDs, and reverse lights with 6k from vleds (should have done these babies first!)
9. Picked up oem window visors + ballasts from Acktl
10. Swapped out the shitty stock battery to an Interstate Megatron II

 

So I went to Park Ave Acura in Maywood, NJ the other day and look what they showed me...



+5k in repairs????!?!?!?!

I'm guessing the LCA bushing are torn bc of my ride height being low without a camber kit... anyone out there that had similar problems, want to throw in some help?? I know I'm definitely going to find a local mechanic for the fixes, IF they are even an issue..

 

your TL in the original post was freaking dope. loved the aspec wheels. not sure what happened afterwards..

 

Title name changed, as requested.

 

Damn LOL @ repairs. I think they are trying to pull a quick one on you. A member by the name of Gus works at Park Ave as a tech....PM him. https://acurazine.com/forums/members/04wdpsedan-205639/

 

Thank you, but afterwards I think, "I myself" happened LOLOL

yup... just sent him a PM, thanks for the info!

 

My first performance mod! Acurazine sticker with +10 whp!

Did not realize the sticker would come in black.. so went I a little unique and placed it under the window trim.

 

Unique placement indeed...

but knowing you guys, this picture has enough info to figure out what i ate for breakfast

Nice! Looking forward to the installation.

 

Due to the interest in the teaser shot (1 person: Mr. Steven Bell), i decided to get busy this past weekend.

Last weekend I picked up a set of varrstoen es2 Front:18x9.5 +12 215/40 Rear:18x10.5 +15 on federal 595s.

this was the test fit


found a shop in jersey city (tstraction) to roll my rear fenders for me, Amyn (below) took great care of the paint and was very thorough with the job. Great guy + prices.


2nd test fit after fender roll


side


eyeing camber + toe and a couple hours later


going in for an alignment real soon + more photos this week!

 

Looks good, man! I'm glad I could be a little extra motivation for you.

 

 

Those look great. Only thing I'm not a fan of are the tail lights, buts that just me...
What's next on the list?

 

Those tails, bro..

The way the TL was in your first photoshoot is sex. Now it's meh.

To each his own.

 

lol, I should make a poll for my tails huh? I'm quite curious how many dislike em. If i recall correctly general consensus liked them on deathmetal's wdp, but not on mine =/

Next on the list is to adjust my ride height. My rears are rubbing on bumps, inclines, etc. Maybe change up my tires up front. The 215/40s are pretty damn thin... to close for comfort. I'm also on a hunt for an exhaust and some white lug nuts (cant seem to find em other than ).

 

I'm not a fan of deathmetal's tails either. But you're car is certainly far far away from "meh"


As long as you're pleased with them, that all that matters. They just aren't my taste. Haha




And holy shit that's a thin tire.

 

absolutely gorgeous. the new rims definitely enhance the overall swag of the car!

 

sexy as hell!! keep it up sir! rims made a huge difference.

 

That first pic....

 

Sweet ride!

 

Anything ever come of those taillight renderings?

 

Hey man how much did you pay to get your fenders rolled? Im not to far from jersey city might head over to the shop you recommended need to make my new wheels fit

 

Nice ride.....

 

Little behind the thread but huge fan of your taillights!!! They look great!

 

i've seen you driving around the area, your car looks nicely done in person so im a fan. Don't know if you put a front plate on but i've got an RJ kit on my car and have refused to put a front plate on. If you put the plate in your windshield you should be okay if you're willing to get defensive when a cop gives you trouble. The law in jersey essentially only requires that a front plate be at a certain height and facing forward but does not ever state that it must be on the front bumper. Happy modding nd st pattys day

 

Was going through the pictures, thought Matt created a thread or something, went up to check the thread creater again

Black and White everywhere.. I like that

 

unfortunately no...I really wanted to make a mold for new headlights but my interests went elsewhere lol

hey man didn't see or update this thread in awhile, if you are still interested let me know.



thank you very much

lol I want to say I had em first! theres more of the skunk colorway on the way





Sup azine, its been awhile!
So after a couple of nasty potholes and hidden train tracks, my passenger rear coilover (k-sports) decided to blow on me. After riding on a blown suspension for about a month I decided to pull the trigger on a set of tein SS from the BM. Dear lord, I should have just bought em in the first place. The ride is much better.
I also sold the varrstoen 2.2.1s bc they were too aggressive for a dd

BUT i got something else to share
