DO NOT PM ME ASKING FOR PARTS
A LINK HAS BEEN LISTED BELOW WITH AN AVAILABLE PARTS THREAD

I have been on Acurazine since I purchased my 04 AM MT TL in May of 2010. I have been doing mods to this car ever since I got it. I have only owned Hondas (Integra GSR, H22 Prelude, 04 MT TL, 97 CRV and now a 2010 MT SH-AWD TL), all of which have had some type of modifications. On 9/24/2013 I was involved in an accident which “totaled” my 3G TL- It was a green light (with no arrows), I was going straight and the car in the opposite direction was taking a left. Well he took the left too late and we hit head on. The damage to the car is shown below in the pictures but here is a quick list: fenders, hood, driver & pass airbag, dash, driver headlight, front bumper, driver fog light, windshield, radiator, radiator shroud, radiator support, battery tray, right side apron and some other things such as driver headlight mounting brackets.

I am currently putting the car back to stock (most of which is complete) and repairing the car, as I will be selling it. The other drivers insurance company has paid me for the car which I choice to keep, as the salvage value was way less than what the parts are worth (actually even less than what the TE37 SL’s are worth). The title is staying clean, as the car is over 6 years old and it is an owner retain (FYI there was no loan/lein on the title). The laws on the title are different from state to state, I'm in Colorado. I just purchased a 2010 6SPD MT SH-AWD TL that will be my daily driver, I will be posting in the 4G TL section soon with a list of my mods.

I wanted to show people what the car looked like before the accident (which I was planning to do after I put on a C-Mod grille and Carbon Fiber hood). I also wanted to compile a list of mods showing what was done to the car. Here are the mods to the car:

The most recent accident:

 

Sorry to hear about your accidents :/ hope you're ok.

I have a question for you, in those pics above, the aspec suspension closed up that wheel gap? Looks like you got a decent drop out of it

 

After the first accident I (with some friends) actually drove the car 22 hours straight basically from Wyoming to Mexico (Fort Collins, CO to South Padre Island, TX). A lady was driving down a double yellow about 1/8 mile from a light, traffic was stopped and I was taking a left out of a shopping center, traffic had not blocked the intersection so I could go through it. She comes down the median and instead of swerving she slams her brakes. I had just got the car from getting an alignment as I was preparing for my long road trip

Other than an air bag burn from the second I am fine.

The front wheel does not show the correct gap as there was no engine in the car at that time. But yes the rear resembles closer to what it would drop.

 

 

Ouch! Sorry about the accident man. Hope everything ends up well. On another note, where on earth did you get all that real carbon fiber dash stuff!? That looks awesome. Would so be in for a buy on that!

 

I'd like to know where you got the c/f dash trim too, or did you wrap the original?

 

I have posted links above to the carbon fiber thread and the fs thread (which still has some of the CF stuff for sale).

 

So sorry to hear about this. It was a great car but I'm sure the new TL is even better!

 

Sorry to hear about what happened man, and sorry to bring up somewhat of an old thread, but what kind of shift knob did you have?

 

Its listed above under drivetrain. But its a Stainless Maven Knob from Heeltoe. Can be found here:

I would recommend the whole package:

Ouch!!

 

The car has been fixed and is now posted for sale. It doesn't have any Type S parts left on it, just the fully built engine and some other misc items. The FS thread can be found here:
