Acura TL Build Thread - redhavocxj - 01-08-2018

This is going to be a thread for anyone who is interested to see the progress of my Acura, as well as something to look back upon for myself.

Must have taken notes on how to create the proper thread from Scott.

RE: Acura TL Build Thread - Senor_Taylor - 01-08-2018

Has anyone mentioned how he has like a 1000 hp Corvette now and hasn't posted it?

No, I'm going to keep it active. I just need to scavenge up some beginning pics, I lost some from my old phone. Hopefully Facebook has some. Big Grin

Here's a pic from when I first bought it and drove it down to VB.

Found some much better stock pics.

Factory Enkei wheels got painted with Rustoleum gloss black enamel.

Next, I baked and painted the interior chrome of my headlight housings, and removed the hideous amber reflectors.

Factory red taillights were swapped out for some clear lens, smoked reflector, black interior headlights.

And, my most recent mod, a knockoff double din stereo I got for free. I have Harmony Audio speakers to go in all around, and already have two Kicker Comp R's in the trunk (12").

RE: Acura TL Build Thread - redhavocxj - 02-07-2018

No new mods recently besides double DIN, but this weekend I plan to cut apart my OEM red tails and mod them. I will make sure to post progress pics.

I ended up leaving JMU and forgot about this forum, but this car has been sold, Deeply miss it and want another some day, but I did update some things on my time away.

Reopened headlights and added switchback 70mm halos and LED strips.

Also, to Senor Taylor's dismay, I added the HIC roof spoiler to the car.

Almost forgot about the black housing/clear lens side markers I purchased to match the tail lights and headlights. Also, my homebrew CAI of which I have no pictures of, but was basically an intake resonator delete with a short piece of tubing ran to the bumper grille on the driver side.
