How about pre muffler? It should be fine at the header, a leak will have a different sound than a full open system...I hope... It would just be funny when I see a Camaro and mustang rev at each other at light...Flip the switch and BAM All 6 cylinders of mighty VTEC yapping back at them.

Now to install NOS for some real street cred and exhaust flame system

 

I think they would have a heart attack or freak out and run over a curb and hit a wall. That makes this project even more tempting...

 

I'll come and watch and learn, maybe even offer a hand if needed. Are the OEM spark plugs NGK?

 

We Houstonians call that a Justin

Agree that project is tempting

 

lol at a Justin. What freaked him out?

A small compressor would fit nicely in that awkward part of the trunk backing into the back seat.

My wife is going to kill me when we get our tax return and start seriously looking into the possibility of this...Totally worth it!

 

Your nuts...lol...I'm gonna get the la coo~coo racha horn lol...

 

OOOOO you fancy! Do it and bring it out to Cars and Coffee!! As they're busy being entertained by your horn, I'll freak them out with mine.

 

Idk high ppl get freak out easliy

You probably already know about just curbing his car but if not ask him; thus the nickname Justnjacks

 

When/where is c&c held now...

 

Awe shucks

When will you be working on your car tomorrow? I may drop by for an hour or so.

 

It's the 2nd Saturday of every month at the Lowes in the Rim.

 

Jeremy, let me know when you wanna come scoop up that rear aspec

 

What year is this rear aspec for ? PM me ur number

 

^is your name Jeremy???????

 

07 types S im askin $500 for just the rear, PM if interested

nah jk, i already offered it to TLluver, sorry. Its got a ding in it that he is going to repair, so not sure you would have wanted to deal with that anyways

 

Lol guess I haven't signed in in a couple days lol picked it up yesterday AS nice try ...thanks again beez gonna try & drop it off before the weekend for paint... plasti dip my wheels day or two ago I like the way they look doing my type s right now installing the fogs should be done tonight.... hey def hit me up we need to meet up at k1 so you could check out my plasti dip it came out pretty good also have my bumper going on right now; I'll be in Colorado over the weekend though...

 

whats up fellas! just dropping in haha Jeremy we have the worst timing lmao

 

Yea every time lol...didn't even get to show you my car the first time....

 

Did someone say headlight day in November?!?

 

I'm down. ..

 

Champ screw your body shop they quoted me $450 laughed at the guy & went down the street for $199...I return to sa Monday night so will probably pick up Tuesday thanks again beez...just need to figure out tips now...

 

Well they'd do it cheaper I told you to let me know first and I'll call.

And be quick to question the $199 price as you have no idea the work quality they have.

 

No the saw my front bumper parked backwards at the other place lol. ... and I talked him down to that price. .. when I told your guy I could get it new for $250 he was like "ooh" well maybe just paint 200...heavy older white guy looked like he could be owner/manager... he saw my car & wanted my money mistake I made was saying I knew it was pearl paint before he mentioned it...

 

Now you're just confusing me

 

I think them seeing my front bumper made them wanna charge me more so I parked backwards at the second place...I talked the second place down to 199 when I said I can get a new one for 250...when I told your guy I could get it new for 250 that I'm trying to pay 200 or less he said "ooh can maybe do just paint for 200... So that's + $250 more for a couple ounces of bondo?!...I got him caught up in his own BS not a person I would want to do business with even if he did it at my price...them seeing my car made him wanna charge me that's why I kinda wanted to go when I was stock...

 

Oh well just letting you know to be careful with the other place because $200 + fixing bumper + paint is too low for anyone to charge.

I don't know if it $200+ to fix the bumper, but I wouldn't call him BS... Any other place would've charged you nearly double that. :/ He gave you a price to paint and fix the bumper at $450 which is reasonable. When he only charged me $175-$200 he was just charging me to re-paint my bumper which is what the price I spoke with you about. It is usually cheaper to replace an A SPEC to fix it broken. Just IMO

 

Ya its all good; i know our paint is special but I just think $450 is too high to paint anything... they have to repair I'm sure 9.5 out of 10 bumpers that need to be painted need repair. .thanks to azine we can get such a low price one guy got quoted like $600 for a Focus front lip at the dealership...

 

Anyone have or know someone selling the ASPEC kit for the 07 TLS ?

 

^ Check our vendor Ack05TL

 

Ya he'll do $250 shipped but depending on what piece you want (front/rear); it might only come black or white (nbp/wdp)... & champ I don't thik the place I went to knew it was pearl they just wrote down the paint code & said ok well take care of it... but I signed on the dotted line for the price they quoted me...

 

TL Luver, Normal cost of repainting a bumper is around $400. They have to strip the old paint, primer it, sand, paint it. It is a more time consuming process repainting a bumper vs buying one not painted and prepping/painting it.

You can try to give a friend of mine a call that did our MDX repairs. Alamo Heights Paint and Body. Carlos Jr. Let him know I sent you (real name).

 

Cool thanks to know for the future but its already a done deal; should be ready for pickup on monday $199 with tax...their a smaller shop with low overhead...and I trust them is because that's my old neighborhood I use to see that spot for years never changed names...I always see all kinds of cars parked newer an old and always see them working fixing cars so I trust them plus I didn't have to pay anything upfront I won't have to pay until I agree on the work...

 

I'm not one to pay much for anything...I got my last rims with one kind of bad tire for $400...I'm sure it will look fine or else I wont; accept it. ..the last time I went to the body shop it was called econo paint and body and had a bad experience with them already in that building they messed up my propane on my second Lexus I know it's a different company now but I already have had problems with them people from the beginning and not to be racist it was a white guy at choice and a Mexican guy at the place I went to...

The Houston guys are making me jealous; anyone down to go to K1 sometime this week or weekend?...

 

And y'all can criticize my $200 paint job then lol...


does anyone here know how to photoshop I want to post a thread that I'll pay $5 for anybody to Photoshop me dual base muffler tips on a rear type s aspec preferably in NBP...

I have two sets of base tips: and my idea is to cut one a little short like a couple inches and weld it to the outer side of a full tip maybe even a little staggered creating one single dual base tip...I'll just paint them black...

where should I post for this black market rambling thread I just don't know where I should post but if wanted I'll pay someone like 5 bucks threw pay pal...

getting rear lip put on probably within the next couple days in gonna look stupid with regular base tips...
