Thought I'd make a thread. 03 Acura 3.2TL

[COLOR=Red][U][B]NEW PICS ON PAGE 2 (UPDATED ON 10-28-09)[/B][/U][/COLOR]

Hello VSC! 

I thought I would only joined to buy JP curtains off a vendor here but I guess I'm here to stay. :biggthumpup:

Stock when I first received it as a gift from my dad. Slowly and I seriously mean slowly progressed with a debadge(took off the 3.2TL on the right) .. LOL

yay.... lol

moved to Arizona and then came back and started the modding. =)

btw.. Tim isn't my name.. lol. just my good friend took pictures for me

First few mods.. Eibach Prokit springs, 04-06 TL stock wheels, blacked out the headlights, headers and cold air.

Few weeks later, got my OEM front and side lip kit and WingsWest rear lip. also 18x8.5 +30 Volk LE37. Some visors and a little JDM flavor...

Background Story: I was desparate to fix my hood from having some major paint cracks. I attempted to rattle can my hood and it came out to be... FAIL. lol

Ditched the Volk LE37 and I revolked with 19x8.5 +46 GT-V. Changed out my INSPIRE front grill to the Saber front grill. Also redid my headlights since I didn't find any love for the fully blacked out headlight.

Sometime while having these wheels, I got my exhaust. =]
