TL is a great car to work on as well!
I know everyone likes to talk shit about your ride, but I think you picked up a good one.

Are you planing on raising the ride height back closer to standard and putting the wheels back where they belong?

Car looks pretty good I like the color with the wheels. I advise to not tint your headlights if you actually like seeing where you are going at night and it does not look good. Did you wet sand and buff the lights? If not do that first and if you did already do that I would then use a UV protectant that some restoration kits include that will make the headlights very clear, or you can carefully spray a clear coat over the restored lights. Good luck with your project

Is my car cursed or am i?
Its been a while since i updated the community on my car but as you can see it hasnt been too good first my dumb ass backed into a pole and broke my tail light 100% my fault so i order some so i can replace bith while im at it then my rim cracked the following weekend which was another expense of about 700 to get some genuine acura rims from a guy i know. I was happy i got my tail light fixed new rims in a week and then im at the gas station and a brand new car backed right into me and fucked up my bumper and grill and since she was on her fucking phone she didnt see my car in her fucking back up camera. How stupid do you have to be to back into a car when you have a camera that shows exactly what is behind you? Im quite certain at this paoint that the universe hates me

its my first car so i expected a bit of a fix it car and for only $1800 its was a steal i put about $50 into the engine in new bolts and gaskets. Just got some new wheels just need to raise the car a bit more for a fit that wont scrape and as for the bumper i was already thinking of getting a new one so its not to big of a loss. Trust me once i pick up a second job ill be able to buy all the cosmetic parts needed and possibly a vinyl wrap my baby will be looking better than the day it was driven off the lot
