    Default Left hand : Luxury, right hand: performance... put your hands together ..3G TLs

    these things are growing on me, my buddy owns a gray one with gold wheels, 6 speed, he let me drive that thing and now i know what im getting when i save up my <<<<really pennies lol, i always liked this bodystyle, but i always thought these should have been rwd, but after driving his, F that, that s*ht is NICE inside and out

    feel free to add some more of anyone you like

    this one it thought was worth the first post, owner DDs it, it's static, im not big on putting any wheels over $1K on a car but this has me thinking twice

    specs:
    18" CCW LM5
    10.5" +15f 225/40
    11" +13r 235/40

    Car looks nice, but would look better higher and less camber and less stretched tires.

    Ride height is perfect. The crooked wheels and stretched tires are ugly. Aside from those two things, this car is great.

    And, of course, I love the fact that left it an "Acura" instead of misbadging it, lolol.

    Fitment makes it look horrible. Rear camber is beyond ridiculous. In it's current state, it is offensive to look at, which is a shame, since this is a really nice car.

    I'm confused, are you saying that as if you're surprised that me personally has that opinion? Pretty sure that opinion will be shared by all.

    The only people who like that kind of fitment are the ones who have this poster hanging on their wall.


    TL is a classy car, keep it that way.

    you got ripped off man, theyre suppose to give you a free poster anytime you get a whack ass alignment job like that done. Go back to the tire shop and ask them why they shorted you.

    do a lil search and look at my past cars. last s chassis was in 2005 and it was a 180sx in japan

    the cars i like, owned, or currently own have nothing to do with liking a certain style.
    to do what that car does, it takes just as much time as setting up a race suspension. ive done both. I enjoy it for the work put in. if you dont like the camber (which you obviously dont since you have made it your mission to let everyone know) then go the fuck away from threads with it in it and stop sounding like a broken record.

    If people with "hella flush" fitment do not like the criticism, there's forums specifically for that interest where they can all share in likeness. This is a car forum, anytime i feel inclined to comment on a car, good or bad.... i will do just that.

    I'll take "broken record" and "made it my mission to let everyone know" as a compliment, seeing as how the car pics section is probably where i spend the least of my time and make the least amount of comments on this entire forum. You just remember my comments. Glad to know my "assholeness" has had such an effect on you. Mission accomplished.

    your "assholeness" is really pathetic and could be much better.

    i just think you are an idiot and have no real idea about anything except the looks. But its ok. There are retards everywhere that dont really know what they are talking about.

    I don't think so. To me, they're the perfect size.

    18x10.5 +15 w/ 235/40/18 all around would look way better in my opinion.

    I like everything aside from the wheel fitment, diameter, and ride height. If the wheels were bigger (19" perhaps), not staggered, and fit better in the rear, I could fully get on board. All things considered, it is still pretty hot though.
