Primetiime's Photo Thread
Bought the car in Jan 2013. 07 base with 68k Miles ASM Automatic.
First Mod I did was paint the stock rims black.
Then I had some things come up and basically was not able to do anything to the car until now.
Just the other day I got my roof in black gloss vinyl.
I also ordered Magnaflow mufflers and received them this afternoon...
Plan to remove Mid Muffler and Resonator and have these mufflers installed early this upcoming week. Should make it sound 1000000x better.
I also ordered Matte Black XXR-530 in 33 offset. Got Red Lug Nuts to go with them.
Future Plans in the next 2 weeks:
Install XXR-530 Rims/Tires
Tein Springs and new shocks (Have already ordered the springs have not decided on which shocks to get)
Roof Spoiler
Trunk Spoiler
Aftermarket Headlights and Taillights from Ack (Including Switchbacks and 6k lights, 8k DRLs and yellow 3k Hid Fogs)
Front "Acura" Bumper Sticker (already ordered)
A-Spec front and and rear lip
Possibly a completely new braking setup or at the minimum red brake calipers to match the red lug nuts
Stay turned over the next 2 weeks for lots of updates

nice wheels
don't install the sr48 lock lugs otherwise you will scratch up the inside of your rims pretty bad. there's info in the xxr thread about it. the non-locking sr48 lugs are ok i think

Nice man! I have the same color TL '08. I'm about to lower it with H&R springs(1.4 front 1.3 rear). I'm also gonna get black 18's for the car as well. It's finally nice to find a pic of a car that looks like mine, to see what my car will look like as you are doing very similar things to yours. Def interested in seeing the yellow fog lights. I can only imagine it looks dope! Keep the pics coming. Oh, how much are you lowering yours, and what size rims and spec do you have? Wondering what others are doing when they lower their car with 18's and no rubbing or issues? Thx

Well I dropped it off to be lowered since I wanted to get an alignment and all that anyway.
But all the lighting I did myself. Looks great, Will post pics once i get home from work later
Thanks man and yea the yellow fogs look bad ass. I also added the yellow tint over the foglight area to make it even more yellow
I believe I am lowered about 1.5 inches But I will get an exact measurment later. Rims are 18x8.75 + 33 offset. Tires are 235/40/18.
No rubbing noticed on the way home or into work today but that was also only a matter of about 5-10 miles.

Well between weather and work I wasent able to do all the things I wanted to so far. I have done a few some things but overall I am waiting until it gets nice outside to do more stuff.
Only things I have done since last update are Yellow Koni Shocks and Green Tein Lowering Springs. Also installed Nokya Hyper Yellow Fogs and a yellow vinyl overlay on the fogs.
Heres some pics from a massive cruise this past weekend from MD to VA.
Hoping to do the following once the weather warms up:

Nice setup. Do you have closer images of your front tires? Are you good with the drop? I have tein s springs, but I just want half an inch lower. Recent pic... Both AM TLs are on Tein s actually. My setup is with 15mm spacers on the Aspec 18x8.5. Did you go to the Skyline drive meet?

Exhaust sound
Can you please tell me what the product ID or number is for the Magnaflow exhaust you have? I would love to make mine sound like yours. Did you just remove the resonator and mid-muffler and just add the two magnaflow barrels with the stock tip welded on?? Thanks for your help!!
