the thing about tires is that I am broke and really should sell these but I can't resist so I think I am gonna leave the tires that are on now and drive like that for a few months. If they get destroyed I will get new ones but if not, then all good hahaha

#284
Yea, you don't have to get expensive tires. As long as they are drivable.

Where's a good place in Edmonton that can fixed paint scratches. i got hit in the parking lot a couple months ago right on my driver side door and still haven't gotten time to fix it. and the vendors on the site when they sell bumpers is it painted or not? cause this winter i slid and hit a snow bank hard... now my bumper is crack and i also want to replace it lol. if you guys can help me answer these question it would be appreciated!
riicky - nice to meet you! (:
#287
Oh okay, if i do get the bumper where's a good shop to get it painted? and the scratch i'll try to take a picture tomorrow and posted on here and you guys can examine it.
#288
Lol I've PM'ed him 3 times giving him my e-mail. I might just order from a different vendor if he doesn't get back to me soon.
Raj I spotted you today in your red tsx around 4, turning onto west whitemud. You were behind me in the turning lane. I waved but don't know if you knew it was me lol.

I want to open mine up so I can either remove that amber chunk or wrap it in some 3M CF vinyl.
Lmao my gf thinks it's funny how your gf lives near her, and we both live near each other. She found it really weird when I noticed Raj in his tsx and tried to wave to him. I think she felt embarassed to be with me lolol.

sorry for doing multiple msgs lol, i replied as i read thru.. u guys went nuts on replys past 2 days lol.. if anyone needs exhaust work or headers installed, my buddy owns ABC muffler shop just off 50street and passed sherwood park fwy... lemi know if u guys need some work done i'll let him know ur coming, and he'll give u a good deal.. he deals with Magnaflo and can custom make whatever u want done!
#292
I think I was contacting ABC mufflers about creating a custom exhaust for my TL and it was something like 600$ for a full cat back which is pretty cheap. I hear good things about it from 780 members too
#293
Haha thanks Raj. Your car would be complete if you drop it. Is it just me or does the TSX look like it rides higher than a TL?
Myron I'll trade you ALL my detailing supplies for those wheels lololol.
I got my Cree LED reverse lights in the mail last night. I can't wait to install those. They're supposed to give some decent light output in comparison to HID reverse lights. Myron do you remember where you got the CCFL bulbs for the license plate? I figure I might as well get those since they're brighter and last longer, opposed to my leds I have.
Tony for scratches, someone mentioned Mr. Dent (780 993 3687) at #67, 4003 -98 Street on 780tuners. I don't know how good they are but it might be worth looking into. I might go there to get a quote on the damage I have on my rear bumper and quarter panel.

#295
Maybe see if the seller can ship via USPS. Duty usually is non-existent when you go with that carrier. They are far more Canadian friendly than other companies like UPS or Purolator.
#297
When you run your finger over the scratches, does it catch your nail?
If you're willing to wait until you're back in Edmonton, I can probably help you remove those scratches. I have an arsenal of detailing supplies. Buying a random scratch removal product may end up doing more harm than good.
Where are you living right now?

on the side note, me, ricky and arthur installed Arthur's lipkit today and WOW, his car is looking amazing with the kit, lowered and the wheels, just came together so nicely. Hopefully he installs that exhaust today too so the car is complete.
#302
oh man that exhaust looks so good on that car. I am glad I could help, it was fun, and not that hard. Glad that Ricky joined in so we could meet and it's always nice to have a helping hand.
#304
Oh that is one sexy WDP. Good job! So with three guys, how long did it take to install the a-spec kit? Any troubles cutting up the rear bumper with the dremel? Did you get the exhaust installed at a shop?
Lol maybe I'll spot you in the southside one of these days. I go to Riverbend Square every now and then with the gf or fill up gas at Shell.

Lol I'll probably see you right away knowing that you have a blue tl-s, I think they are pretty rare in edm.
Thanks! I got it from a vendor here, 830$ shipped (duties and brokerage are already included) Ricky told me there is a group buy going on right now and they are 750$. They are pretty cheap compared to the stealership price. Oh, they come painted too!
#308
^ ohh nice. i would buy it but i don't have to money right lol.
Have any of you guys installed an intake yet? if so was it hard to do? i know there a DIY for it but i'm scared that i might screw up soemthing

@edmua6...arthur that car looks sick!! it was good times doing the kit! i also learned a lot!! but keep her clean now! i wanna hear your car now...maybe u can do a fly-by :P...
@ichinese...yes i did the intake. u looking at buying the short ram or the proper kit where the filter sets in front of the left steer tire. i can give you hand with it. it was a little little difficult removing all the OEM parts but it was worth it the time at the endl!!

Yeah I've seen only a couple KBP TL-S's in the city. Definitely more NBP and WDP TL-S's around town.
Lol I know who to hit up if I ever get an a-spec kit But I'd have to get over the tl-s front lip. Maybe I need to see it in person, but in pictures it flares out a bit too much.

So Ricky told me that there is a chance that the base 07 lower grills for fog lights might be able to fit in the 04-06 with some trimming. I am gonna be on the luck out for this and update you guys if I pull the trigger on this. It might be a good solution for us non-fog light guys.

Myron, do it! :P
Vincent, I was just going to tell you guys about this meet. I think all of us should go there and represent the TL/TSX community.
Also, I just finished changing my spacers at the back (5mm less), no more rubbing issues.

yea i am down for that meet too.
I am getting 2 tires this week and then rims are probably gonna go on a week after that. Then I am gonna play with the spacers and all to see if I can run 20mm in the back and how much the fenders have to be rolled. I might just do the rear and run the 15mm back there and leave the front alone. Or roll the front and run 10mm in the front. I have 10,15, and 20mm spacers so I can play around with it.
