I've heard about the TL's tranny...but I'm not doing any more swaps, a friend and I did a complete h22 5spd swap into my automatic accord almost 6-7 years ago, when the h22 was the beast engine of honda.

Where did you get your lip from? Or did it come with the car???

What ya'll think about the Lip-kits.com lip?? I want to be a little different, even though the OEM looks awesome... Tell me what ya'll think

the whole kit is hideous.
the lines do not flow at all.

OEM is worth it, go mess around in the 2G TL section and see for yourself.

shane's car has my old sides and rear, and he bought his front lip from the dealer, just like you should.

the Resonator HAS to be removed in order to install a CAI...
removing this part also increases sound from the front of the car, much like an intake does.

That's what I was looking at (lines not flowing). I couldn't find a really good pic of the kit to see it for myself. I know the OEM is worth it. Do they have any dealers on here that can get really good prices on the front lip???

the legends look good on 3G's.. there are 1 or 2 people on here with legends on the 99-03.. im personally not a fan.
but in the end its whatever feels right.. i'll dig up those 2 guys on here with them.

here they are on 3G.


if you're looking for a mesh style wheel and can spend the same cash as the legends.. there are tons of better options.

you can even get Work VS-XX now for a really good price used..

I just put my 20's back on after cutting about 3 inches off the back lip where the top screw screws on to the back bumper. It still rubs on the driver side due to the added weight from the gas tank and my fat butt when I hit dips and what not. I knew I should have just gotten rid of the 20's other then buying new tires for them and putting them back on the ride lOl...

I would say any casino, but maybe The Palace (my work place) haha and maybe the Grand. I think Hard Rock, Beau Rivage, Imperial Palace, and possibly Isle of Capri would be good places to stay depending on your price range I guess.

Hey I have a extra room at my place I can rent out to you while your're here lOl... jk Casino wise it just depends on what you plan on doing. Hard Rock definitely if you want to just chill out and have some drinks. The Beau is good for a really good buffet and on Wednesdays I hear they have a good ladies night. I hardly go to the casinos anymore. I don't gamble and since I've been married I can't go out much anymore lOl... How long are you going to be in town for?
