Had the car for almost a year and a half now. Went much much faster modding it than I did with the Accords. (It's nice to be outta school and working fulltime ) So far I have temporarily hit a plateau with mods.

I am considering swapping the Comptech Springs for Tein Coilovers, and I am definitely interested in a brake upgrade of at least rotors and pads, possibly in more audio upgrades. I am also thinking about converting my foglights to 6000k HID's. The Comptech Supercharger is around here; we'll see. Shout out to all the guys on H-A.net, A-TL.com, and A-CL.com for all their help, advice, and support.

Yeah! Something a little different...

The lip kit is very suttle, I like it a lot. Those wheels have a factory touch to them, they look really good.

Great car!

smokedogg · 07-02-02, 01:29 AM

"X-pel and Custom Clear Bra for the entore front end and sideskirts "....got more info on that?

Ferio Man · 07-02-02, 03:53 PM

wow

stephan · 07-02-02, 04:09 PM

me like the clear headlights! we need a better picture of the rear and interior though! Im curious as to how the PS2 is mounted

dom93hatch · 07-02-02, 04:29 PM

Awesome ride!

Much props!

rb6teg · 07-02-02, 04:39 PM

more pics please!!!!! beautiful car......

**Mr Hyde** · 07-02-02, 07:55 PM

Thanx guys, I have some more pics in this thread

http://honda-acura.net/forums/showth...&threadid=4937

And I'll try to post some more up later.

The X-pel kit wasnt big enough for me and neither was mostof the prefab kits out there, so I had the installer custom cut pieces for my hood, sideskirts, and front lip spoiler. I went with the X-pel kit for the Headlights, Fogs, and Bumper. If I ha dto do it all over again, I would have kept my custom pieces, but replaced the front bumper with the ArmorFend kit. This was one install I watched from start to finish and I am very glad I did not do myself. It is not like tints especially on tough curves like the headlights and lower lip.

The PS2 is under my passenger seat, and not permanently mount ed which is what I wanted. I remove it whenever i want to, and only had to buy an additional powerline and A-V cable. The PowerInverter is hardwired under the same seat as well.

**Mr Hyde** · 07-02-02, 07:58 PM

For the lazy ones

P.S. HID fogs are on the way as I write this.

integra_Gs · 07-02-02, 08:54 PM

that is one of the nicest acura TL-S i've ever seen. keep it up.

:splooge:

SweetAccord · 07-02-02, 11:38 PM

Maybe I should stop looking at your car pics...everytime I see them it makes me

a lot.

EliteAccord · 07-03-02, 12:31 AM

Very clean

If you get HID fog that means I'll have to consider upgrading too.

**airon** · 07-03-02, 03:08 AM

Beautiful ride Hyde. Wanna switch cars for a little while?

Mr. Spec V · 07-03-02, 09:43 PM

f-ing nice man...... sweet car.

Jay Jay · 07-03-02, 10:20 PM

This is a stupid question, but do those wheels come in 16/17in sizes?

Nicest TL ever!

ur31337 · 07-04-02, 12:07 AM

I can honestly say if I wanted a TL, it would look pretty much like this one here. Amazing

SpoonFedType7 · 07-04-02, 01:43 AM

Very CLEAN I'm glad you kept the Rice in the bag

yianni64 · 07-04-02, 10:29 AM

Very very nice, the exterior mods are fairly subtle but when you look at the car up close they look great.

As for performance, it's frickin fast already, and those headers are like what, 32hp? That more than all the bolts on for other cars put together. If you get that supercharger, mmmmmmmm.
