JemmieN's 04 TL Progress thread

not a girl lol
So a few of you may know that I sold my Integra. It was getting to be too much for me to handle and a money pit so I decided to let it go, even though I've always said I'll keep it forever. The guy that has it now plans to make it into a drag car, aiming for about 9 second range.

Picked up this 04 SSM TL with a 6 speed manual transmission, factory navigation, and black leather interior. A bit high mileage at 168k but drives pretty damn good for it. Sadly it has a salvaged title from a front end collision but I try not to worry about it too much.

I plan on making it just better to look at for now which means lip kit, detailing, and small little things that bug me. This car will not be slammed or stanced anywhere near in the future!

This is when I left the guy's house. Got rid of that horrid steering wheel cover. Interior felt/looked like he used tire gel to clean it up. I got most of it off but there is still some of it left.


The day after I got back to work and just took this picture of my car and my friend's IS300. We both came from red Integras and now we both have 6 cylinder, silver, sedans lol


Was working on the brakes with the help of my friend Johnny.


One of my side marker covers fell off on the way back home so I ordered a set of these DEPO crystal smoked side markers!


BEFORE
My car was missing the hood grill trim when I bought it. Don't know why. (Hood is popped)


AFTER
It looks so much better and a lot less ghetto LOL

Looks way better! That's the last Acura that looks good imo.

So did you add that steering wheel cover.

My favorite gen TL. After these year TLs and the TSX acura took a hard turn downward. I like it. I want one.

Looks good. Tegs are really starting to show their age now a days. Tell the guy who bought the teg to creat a build thread :lol:

Hell no it came with the car and I put it somewhere LOL

I love those cars! Nice upgrade and pick up!

Thanks! Wasn't really looking for a TL, wanted an IS300 (manual), GS300, or G35 (manual sedan) but I saw this and couldn't pass it up.

Much faster than the Integra lol VTEC is so strong on this car

Changed out the ugly blue lights in my car and swapped them for bright white lights.

Ewwww



After
It looks so much better and brighter now that it's no longer blue! The blue was so annoying at night!
