New member/Introduction w/pics...

Hello everyone-

I'm fairly new to the site and although I've PM'ed a few of you guys, I never really took the time to introduce myself..
I have owned nothing but Hondas/Acuras and sold my latest project (04 TL) about a month ago:






Picked up my car in the beginning of February and told myself I would start piecing things together and throw everything on around the end of this month.

My project timeline:

Night I took home my car from the dealer:



A week and a half later, these showed up:



Week after that:




First week of March, took a trip to a local shop for a little fender rolling before I went to my buddy's house for the suspension install:




Next morning, took a trip to grab some tires and throw the wheels on (Note to self: I don't have as much room in my car as the TL)



Later on in the day, went to the same shop to install rear camber arms/toe bolts and alignment:



By the end of the day, the result:



Did a little debadging that weekend:





This past weekend a couple more goodies came in (JDM clear lenses/Subwoofer enclosure):




Did a little test fitting before I throw the amp in:



Took a few pics before I get it all cleaned up and do a quick mini shoot in the next week or so:




NEXT MOD- Hopefully the dealer will get my plates soon-Enjoy!

I've been using the same screen name since '98 on just about everything that requires a login haha..It was from an old setup I ran in one of my projects.

Thanks for the input guys- The height and offsets are definitely on my next agenda. Since I've had the coilovers on for a little bit over two weeks now, I was gonna give it a bit more to settle. Then I'll go from there. As far as the spacers go, I wanted to get my camber/toe all set first to figure out my clearance. Love the neg. camber look, but it's not for me personally. I'm just deciding now between 10-15mm in the front.

haha I'm kidding, welcome to the site, that TL is clean. I've always been partial to those (that body style in particular).

Enjoy your stay.

Thanks, I have a pair of impul sides sitting in my garage ready to be painted, but that's only if I find a front. We'll see...

I have to say I'm very impressed so far. I've got the damper set about 1/3 of the way and the ride quality is perfect for my daily driving
