            Yeah, I mean all criticism is constructive criticism, just depends on how you take it. Thanks for your honesty. However, there really isnt a whole lot I can do with it, outside of suspension, wheels, and lip kit...there just isnt too much support for the UA5 chassis TL. Lack of Japanese OEM parts kills most of my fun (ALL 99-current TL's are made in Marysville Ohio, even the J-spec and every other foreign market model), because minus the badging (either Inspire or Saber, and an 'H') everything else is identical.

            The only thing I would like to do that would be worth while to it would be to swap a J35 from a 07ish TL Type S (315 hp, 265 lb ft?) and a six speed trans from the 03 CL Type S, but the trans swap alone will set me back somewhere in the neighborhood of $4k, and I dont even wanna know what that paicular J35 will cost me, so I'm gonna wait a bit, lol.

            Thanks for looking. I'll try to get some concurrent pics up, those are almost a year old.

                Wheels look better now, the suspension settled in and it tucks a little. Coilovers, I'm out I think, the OEM suspension rode so harsh because its so stiff, I don't want to make a track car out of it, thinking seriously of going VIP with air and everything, like this...


                BTW, thats the OEM lip lit I'm talking about...^^

                  I would aim at fixing that ACURA badge on the back, its all wrong the letters are way to close together.

                  And i would also get some different wheels, my main gripe with them is how tiny the brakes look inside of them

                    Well I'm sorry the brakes look small, but I can't do anything about that, except. It a big brake kit, qhich is stupid, imho. Alas, it isn't your car so you don't have to worry about it. Oh, sorry that it isn't perfect and appealing in all facets, I mean I did say it was a PROJECT. Thank you.
