Ya ill try replacing them, I am installing the headlights this weekend so I will post some pictures after. I like the grille they got me. lol...



@Ricky - What kind of aftermarket hood did you get? Is it carbon fiber? haha[/quote]

HAHA it wouldn't be a problem if it was carbon fiber! Its a steel hood, not sure what the OEM is but it was def lighter.

Yeah the wheel is all good.

at what mileage should we get our timing belts changed?

i know in the states they got the 105k service, whats the equivalent to ours?

v|nsan|ty

For us it's at about 100k since we're considered to be living in "extreme" weather conditions. I did mine at about 110k I think.

riicky

Did mine at 134k ish and it had no signs of wear. Anyone of you get your valve set done? When interval is it suppose to be done at?

riicky

AZ fellows...I am so confused on picking a color for my wheels, need assistance. Any suggestions? Got a 04 WDP TL. And axis hiro wheels, 19 by 8.5.

^Or you can buy my BBS

Ricky - Do them up in mag blue. Would look so sick.

riicky

^^^ Mag blue almost looks like black, how ever it does look sick!! but ill see what my options are...thanks bro

Darkness.

100k-120k is the usual zone to get it done in. I did mine at 160k, no signs of wear at all, who knows though, it could just randomly snap at anytime.

Dealership told me every 50k for valve lash adjustment, I havent done one yet on mine, I plan to in the spring.

The current color looked awesome. Stick to a shade if you are going to change it, dont go with a color, it would loose the luxury style that it currently has imo.

Price!

@Ricky - White on white! haha

@Arthur - When were you leaving again? haha

hello all, new to the site. 2006 acura tl.
any one know where i can find a front bumper for my baby?
Had a lil run in with a snowbank last night.

EDMGenerTL

Hello all . Im brand new to the site.
Have a 2006 TL.
Live in Edmonton.
Wonder if you can help? Had a run in with a snow bank last night, looking for a bumper now.
Any ideas on where i can find one in Eds?

you8myrice

the vendors on here might be able too give it too you for a good price, PM ackTL05 about it.
maybe upgrade to 07/08 bumper while you're at it?

v|nsan|ty

^What he said. I wouldn't expect to get it at a reasonable cost anywhere locally.

riicky

What they said. Only thing is if you upgrade to an 07/08 bumper your gonna have to buy fog lights and different lower bumper grille. Which means more $$$! Do your research before pulling the trigger on anything.

EDMGenerTL

ya, i was hoping to get a TL-S bumper.
Since it is much better looking.
Plus the fog lights would be a nice addition.
Shouldnt be too hard to install myself.
if anyone in the area knows a shop that deals with wrecks, i may be able to find one with a decent used bumper.

EDMGenerTL

I found a bumper through AMP Panels that is only $315.
Trouble is its only a basic one, doesnt even have the Acura logo on it . lol
And i would have to paint it. which means more $$$$$$.

Darkness.

You're going to have to paint the bumper regardless. Usually if its an aftermarket bumper, you will not see "acura" in the front of the bumper.

Foglight housings are super cheap on ebay, they arent glass though. Which is better IMO.

My TL-S's bumper was broken for over a year because I was waiting to find one from the wreckers, no luck in that department.

Sanjay, I'm letting the BBS go for 2500$ for Acurazine members. This deal includes the Project Kics spacers and burning blue extended lug nuts from Muteki. So you will basically get similar stance I had last summer. It has brand new front tires with less than 2000 kms on them.

I will put it up on kijiji shortly for 2700$ without the spacers and lug nuts.

Jeff, around last week of June.

you8myrice

i believe you can have a new oem bumper from vendors on here for under $300, still gotta paint it though. If you go the 07/08 route, i have fog light grills i can sell you

EdmTSX

@arthur - what size tires you running on them again?

v|nsan|ty

Major +1 to that. The glass ones will get pitted and eventually get cracked by a rock. Mine cracked on the day I bought the car. Switched it over to lexan a few months ago and it's been fine since.

EDMGenerTL

well, i managed to fix the broken bumper up a bit.
couple of holes and some mechanics wire.
That will hold it together for awhile.
At least until after winter is over with.
if anyone sees a bumper come up let me know.
Much appreciate it

edmua6

225/40/18 for the front and 234/40/18 for the rear.

EdmTSX

@EDMGenerTL - You can always check junk yards like hondatoy or blackgold auto import for bumpers as well.

EDMGenerTL

ya, already checked with them.
Guess i will just keep looking eh!
i probably wont fix until spring now anyway

ArenHam

Arthur, dont forget your springs are mine.

EdmTSX

@ricky - where did you get an aftermarket hood from?

riicky

Not sure, the shop got it for me. I replaced the hood struts and it solved the problem. They must have got damaged from the accident.

Silence*

Was getting bored and had to buy something... so yeah.I'll just leave this here...

riicky

hahahaha!!!

Darkness.

Told youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuu

EdmTSX

@ricky - what happened to the car?

jbond2099

iTrader: (1)

lol hey guys any one wanna by some axis shines lol 500 needs tires bad lol

riicky

Got in accident back in November and yes Sanjay lol

Silence*

Blowing more money this weekend going down south to pick up some Tein S Techs and maybe am exhaust lol.

Also stuck on what lip I wanna buy... First I wanted the A Spec, then I saw the Mugen, now I'm on the fence



...Help? =P

Darkness.

Ill buy them, again.... haha.

riicky

^ those wheels have been going around Edmonton like a slut!! haha

v|nsan|ty

@Jordan - Hands down grab the Mugen lip. The a-spec lip looks just like the TL-S front lip, not a fan. Get some orange wheels while you're at it

@Sanjay - Lol what happened to getting a new set of wheels that have yet to be released? How was the fitment when you had the shines on your ride? Did you need spacers to clear brembo's? If you don't buy them I would seriously consider depending on how they fit.
