So since it was a nice morning and day today snapped some quick pics of the zmonster

 

Congrats Eric!!


About time

 

In person it really catches my eye when the lights hit the little diamonds.

The cf weave is Dorthy's kindle fire cover from target lol.

I washed my car earlier and decided it doesn't need painting. It wasn't as bad as I thought.

Thanks. and thanks. I took it with my 35mm and cropped the hell out of the photo. I'm sure an actual micro lens would do a lot better.

I won't be messing with the TL bumper unless I give it to my cousin to paint again.

I love tunnels and it sucks the VA police have to be so good at what they do. I will NOT drive my TL into VA until it has renewed tags haha, and they will probably pull me for window tint as well.

What is Snowshoe?

Thanks Jack. and yes it is about time.

 

I realized the other day that the IS can share my roof rack with the purchase of some Q111 q clips for about $60.



Still dreaming about a widebody NSX with volk weeyolls.

 

 

You should not take pictures of the IS in this lighting. I can clearly see the lip doesn't match here.




Also seriously are you really planning a trip to Snowshoe? I am trying to figure out how quickly to get my skis shipped here.

 

It is so dead in this thread during the day anymore

 

Going to rain soon, glad i waxed the car the other day. So crap and dirt can bead away.

Eric, everytime you take pictures with people in the car. Maybe edit it out? Looks creepy as hell...lol

 

I hope to wash, polish, and wax the Lex this weekend if the weather works out.

 

Let's eat at rock bottom tonight.

 

Possibly but it would be later. I am going home to work on the TSX stereo now that after over a month of trying to figure it out I believe I found the issue with it last night.

 

I washed the TL yesterday even though i knew it was going to rain today. It's a shame mother nature can't precipitate like this when it's below 32.

haha in one of the photos you can see my dog poking his head up.

 

seem like everybody been washing there car latly so gonna throw a set of picture after my wash and threw the wheels on to see how they look. ignore the wheel gap, hopefully have that corrected soon, just made a deal with a guy for a set of d2 coilovers and roof rack. plus just bought the a spec lip kit, and window visor. man my pockets are burning, need to do my taxes asap!









need to polish my exhaust tips. lol

 

Hey just moved to Charlotte in May and found this thread. Going to subscribe so I can stay up to date with all the goings-on here in the Queen City!

 

TL is looking clean! Can't wait to see the difference it will make with the coilovers and lip kit. What brand roof rack are you getting?

Welcome to Charlotte!

 

It a yakima, gota get new clip since it was for a honda accord.

 

Welcome to Charlotte bigdave

t0spec the TL is looking good. The coilovers will make a huge difference

 

Damn, you're making great progress! I can't wait to see everything installed.

I'm not sure how I feel about the color of the wheels but I think it's because of all the different color lights on the front end. Look into removing the amber from the headlights and install yellow fog bulbs instead of the yellow film

 

Nice! I can't wait to see it all together. I'm sure you're anxious too haha. I always enjoy seeing the before and after pics. Go ahead and take quite a few more with the way it is now and you will really appreciate your mods once you look at the after pics.

It blows my mind how much of a difference a simple headlight mod and front lip changed the look of my girlfriend's IS.

 

And don't listen to Tyler. Colors bother Tyler haha.

 

Thanks guy really trying to get on u guy level. Hopefully decked out by import alliance since i missed it last year. Plus trying to rebuild my pride alil since i failed with my 240 build. Hopefully have a golden child in the car world. Lol

 

Tis true

 

Yes it did. Now imagine if you fixed your bumper, got those carbon winglets custom made to fit the TL, and put a spoiler on it. Imagine how much of a difference that would make. Oh and as always I have to include you should tune the engine but pretty sure that is a lost cause at this point with you.

 

Are you calling me a racist?

I just don't like when cars have so many colors that they look like this:

 

Guess I need to finish off the box. I have had grey, white, green, pink, silver, and I have a set of golds just sitting around

 

I'm going to drive over there some day and test fit all of your wheels on mah TL.

 

im not too worry about too much colors, my theme probably gonna be like Chinese new year color. gold and red. plus trying to co - accent the type s stuff like the red interior lights and gauges. i want the car to get attention, i thought about making some replica RPG to mount on top of the roof rack but i think the local police wont like too much. plus i am asian but look mexican so there really gonna gun after me. lol

and eric i about to go take some picture right now hopefully i have enough lighting after my battery charges. i been trying to take some before picture but time and weather have been holding me back. im excited but it been hard to work in these 40-50 degree weather.

 

damn...I noticed the wheel gap

 

Only half the collection is here. The other half is in PA. Your welcome to try them on. Doesn't mean they are for sale though.

 

Lemme rent dem fo a lil wyle

Have anything you think that will look good on mah whip?

 

had a great night at D&B and couldnt pass up a photo moment

 

The JPs with spacers. They actually are for sale right now. Only set that is for sale.

 

Working today. Car projects will have to wait till later I guess. Have a new mod for the F, tow hook to re-install on TSX, and some wiring cleanup I want to do as well hopefully before Megan returns.

 

^Wondered why you were posting so early on a Saturday...thought you forgot you're supposed to sleep in on Saturday .

 

Finally home from work. Between today at work and yesterdays long detail of the Lexus and working on the TSX I am exhausted. Time for a few beers and watching hockey. I wanted to work on the car more tonight but right now I don't even want to move.

 

Anyone ever recharged their A/C or completely refilled it? I don't think mine was redone after the accident and I am taking a trip to Atlanta in it in April and figure that it might be a bit useful to have. Been reading conflicting things about whether I can do it or not online.

 

They sell those refill cans. But you just cant purge whatever is in the system into the atmosphere. Just dont overcharge it, that can break stuff.

 

as civicdrivr said you can't vent it into the atmosphere, that illegal. if your a/c system is over charge then it won't work, if it undercharge the compressor usually kick on and off alot which is bad for the compressor. also after the accident did they replace any of the a/c line? if so then the refrigerant has leaked out already. i would take it to a local shop that has an a/c recover/recharge machine. also they can test the vacuum if your a/c system is fully sealed. also can test for sealant/other gases in your refrigerant.

with those a/c refill can, be careful since some of them contain some type of sealant, once your system contain sealant most shop won't want to work on your a/c system.

just been certified by MACS (mobile air conditioning society) sec 609 lol. plus just recharge the tl a/c system lost like 6 oz of refrigerant after 4-5 years.

 

argh, can't sleep so gonna post some semi edited photo i just recently took. have more but haven't really tried to edit them yet. just croped and touched up little full edit coming soon.

 

Nice work man, thanks for sharing those.
