Anyone know if the 2004-2006 TL headlight ballast is interchangeable with another car ballast? Mitsubishi I heard? Having a tough time finding a ballast for a decent price.

@Jriddle8 - I have a 07-08 base a-spec lip in WDP brand new that I want to sell. Personally, I think it looks way better than the type-s lip. I was going to color match it to my car but plans have changed. It's supposedly a very direct fit besides a little bit of trimming near the fog lights.

where to get rims in Edmonton?

Hey guys I have an acura tsx 2009 in dark grey, currently looking for gunmetal rims for my car but as a new parent my budget is not high, does anyone know of a place on where to get reasonable rims and tires in Edmonton?? I went to king of rims on the northside and for the set I liked they were charging me $2000. Or even if anyone has a used set in good shape I would be willing to look at it to see if I like it.
thanks for the help guys!
