One day i smile - jesse TL

[801wvk]

did you paint the inside of your headlights? did any paint end up chipping when you took off the Tl and Acura symbol?

[illskills1988]

@801wvk Yea i spray painted the headlight housings black and no i used goo-gone and dental floss to remove the signs then you can rub off the residue

[Sabiel167]

Back at it for some more questioning.

When it comes to choosing coilover systems how do you know which is good to choose? Or is it just preference.

And also what made you choose Megan over Tein (being that when it comes to dropping a car alot of ppls choose that 'riding the wave' of course) ?

[illskills1988]

@Sabiel167 Lol as far as choosing coilovers sometimes you have to go with your gut lol or sometimes ask around. But for me I've always heard that Megan Coilovers were good and dependable and more affordable than other coilovers, Plus they have a 32 way ride adjustability vs tein's 16 way adjustment and Megan coilovers go up to 3inches low while Teins go 2.5. Look up the specs and see which one would be more satisfying for you lol.

[bballa235]

Is this in palm beach?

[illskills1988]

@bballa235 Lol yea it is.

[Sabiel167]

Lol ok i see,

What's the benefit or the purpose of having to stretch the rear tires?

*i'm mostlikely asking rhetorical questions here as to some this is common sense, but i'm more like a guy that knows what looks good as far as exterior/interior and also installations of anything that has to do with visual and lighting, but suspension? Hellz naa

I must admit, your replies is quick and on point and i appreciate that you're able to kindly take time out your day to actually respond to my questi

[illskills1988]

@Sabiel167Usually stretched tires are good when you're trying to fit wider wheels, and it allows you to flush the car more, going lower lol in other words a cleaner look lol. And I'm an all around guy a little of everything lol and no problem lol i like giving feedback as fast as i could lol I'm usually busy tho.

[Sabiel167]

After rolling the fenders it eliminates any type of rubbing completely or just reduces it?

And am guessing your tire wear span and my tire wear span would b different as my TL is my daily driver BUT my business is literally 1 block away from me so the car stays parked unless needed, therefore in the 1yr that i've owned it i put alittle over 2thousand miles, not much i know... i tend to baby her alittle too much.

[illskills1988]

@Sabiel167 After rolling the fenders it reduces it, but the rear lip kit still rubs. try stretching the tires and see if that will work when you get the wheels....and mine is my daily also wish i could have a project car to work on lol but i take care of mine like a baby also lol

[Sabiel167]

Ok so with that setup how's the tire wear?

& also inches was that badboy dropped?

-this TL is my motivation, your car has EVERYTHING i have in mind besides different rims of course, planning on going for the DONZ Genovese 20" 8.5F & 10R but i rather drop it first then cop her new shoes or vise versa ?

[illskills1988]

@Sabiel167 I'll say drop it first and roll the fenders because with 20s you're gonna rub like crazy in the rear, especially if you have the bodykit lol and you're also gonna have to stretch the tires in the rear lol In the video i had it about 2 inches in the front and like 2.3 in the rear i think lol right now i'm lower and i'm back on stock wheels lol tire wear is about 6months or more lol just got a new set after i put in the skunk2s lol.

[Sabiel167]

Besides dropping it on megan coilovers, what other suspension setup (as far as camber kits & etc) did you use to bring about that lovely stance ?

Beautiful TL btw :)

[illskills1988]

@Sabiel167 Oh haha In that video i had an adjustable front ball joint and rear camberkit rods, now i have skunk2 front camberkits cause balljoints suck!!! lol And thank you :)

[JayDayFilms211]

im gone have my shit looking the same bro. where u located MIA?

[illskills1988]

@JayDayFilms211 nice i hope i can see a video of your progress and yea i stay in Palm Beach like 40mins away.

[JayDayFilms211]

@illskills1988 hows the ride with those coilovers?

[illskills1988]

@JayDayFilms211 It rides wayyyy smoother than the stock suspension, because my coilovers have a 32 way ride adjustment, so no matter how low you go you can still have your luxury.

[Treeysuur]

did u coilover or complete suspension.

[illskills1988]

@Treeysuur Megan Racing Full Coilovers.

[somevtec4u]

how did you do the tail lights? film or paint?

[illskills1988]

@luisito31710 Yea I installed it myself, It's pretty easy to do once you have time to do it, It takes about 20mins to install the kit.

[mastandrea8]

what video editing software are you using and how did you get the clips to switch back and forth in sync with the beat of the music

[illskills1988]

@mastandrea8 I used Final Cut pro x for mac and i had to keep cutting each part to match the beat lol

[mastandrea8]

@illskills1988 damn man final cut is so expensive might have to get it from a friend lol

but man good shit with the video great editing and awsome car

[illskills1988]

@mastandrea8 Lol hell yea it is!! That's what i had to do, get it from a "friend" lol

[luisito31710]

yo brother where can i find those side lights look great

[illskills1988]

@luisito31710 you can get them from vleds.com or ebay for about 35$ they are switchback leds......also when you install them make sure you buy a resonator to slow down the blink speed.

[Raskal4life7126]

[illskills1988]

@Raskal4life7126 go to axis wheels.com and look for there other company exe wheels, i don't think they make my pattern anymore tho. My wheels was the Exe Image.

[maldo3489]

really good for a first video. just next time on the parked shots either keep the wheel straight or angled so the face of the wheel is toward the camera and not the tire
