1 pic of my TL

Just took 1 pic of my TL with my iphone. Hopefully get some good shots soon.
Nothing too crazy, it's my daily driver. Just thought I'd post it up.

I'll get some more soon. Gotta get a new camera.

I have a little bit of tweaking to do on the front. Need about a 10mm spacer.

Those look very proper on the TL. How thick of an adapter are you running?

The rear sits good enough for me. Front is a little sunk in but I didn't know what to expect since I'm pretty new to TL's

Looks real good man! You're right, a spacer up front would make it perfect.

i have to say the TL is the first car i DONT like these wheels on, but the rear fitment is perfect..i just think the shape of the tl (more specifically the sharp front end) isnt the best fit.

nice!

May i ask, how long have you had the car? Reason why i ask, is cause the rear half of the car you can tell was repainted. Not sure if you know about the accident or not. But that is a hard core flop in tint.

I thought the same thing but I work right next to an Acura dealership and every 3g TL does the same exact thing. My roommates white TL type S does the same exact thing. I've looked at 100+ TLs where depending on the light the car is different colors. If you look at the front bumper, compared to the fender, compared to the a pillar, compared to the rear bumper, the rear door its all different in that pic

good example

really!!.. conspiracy i tell you haha. they must paint part of it in separate areas. I doubt it is different material too.. cause people who say depending on what the surface is it can very in color.. That is just an excuse to say we dont use the same colored sealer before we paint it.

wow.. just saw the edit with the pics.. that is crazy. Someone needs to adjust their robotics to paint in the same pattern as the rest of the car. It was like the bumper was facing upward and they went side to side with the paint. so when they put it on. It doesnt flow with the rest of the car cause of the flop in the paint. Unless they are using a different sealer for different parts. Like the sealer is lighter where in other parts it is darker. Thus making the paint lighter in spots. total weak.

But none the less, I like yours though.

How did you get the wheels to 5x114? I love these wheels and want them on my RL. Any info on how you got this done would be appreciated.

Sorry for the delayed response guys, I haven't been on the net at all lately.

It's lowered on ksport coilovers for an accord.

As for the wheels, they were redrilled by Ralph Wright of Wright wheels in Orange County.

Thanks for all the kind words. :)
