After some issues with my previous set of custom RGB tail lights, I decided to rework them. I had many concepts. But this is probably one of my favorites. These are my 1 of 1 custom tails that I offically dub.."NSX Base Style". They consist of the NSX style tails, while embracing the 04-06 base tails, along with custom LED's for lighting.

I got a tl had a Rsx for years man this tl is quick !!!!
Yooo your car is dope!! How did u paint the grill and the top and the rims ??? lol looks sick!!! Can u telll me which pain ?
Sharkmouth grill was vinyl wrapped
Weres all the 2003 tl type s aspecs i own one never see them around much all kinds of type s but no a specs
Whats the name of the metal clip in 8:40 mine flew into the car and I cant find it.
No idea what the name of that clip is. Def an OEM part, so you're gonna have to do your own research to source it
Sold my Tl but still enjoy your videos. Do a video on your drift Sim!!
Would this work on the 07 auto base
Yup. Should work with any 3rd gen TL
bro got ac in his TL lucky
Can you send me the info where you got your Air Intake System. The eBay link you posted is no longer.
Bro I have a second gen Tsx 2009 And I want to get that exact rims set up, what upgrades you made in the suspension to made them fit
Coilovers is all you need, so you can go as low as you want
@@thecarfiend11 thanks!
Do I need to upgrade rear sway bar if I have an 07 type s?
you gonna have to drop a link to those power steering lines/ hoses cuz i have the same problem 😭
🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️🇦🇬🇩🇲
so the 2.25” inlet is the correct size for the tips?
I can't figure out from your instructions if the tapered washer goes on before sliding on the dust boot? Or is it after sliding in the boot and the 2 washers are touching?
The TL goat is back!!
glad to see you back man!
I retrofitted an android radio in the Navi spot and moved the control boards where radio was they now sell a setup with the android radio built in to Navi spot and it’s not the Tesla model.
Sell that thing asap while everything is working
this channel is living proof of honda reliability
Tune required?
Not required. But it would help with gas mileage, get some more extra HP, and run better. As long as it's tuned properly
I just replaced my oil pump seal as same time as timing belt
Massachusetts rust is a real problem
Let’s fucking go twinnn!!!!!
i just replaced that same line. i went to the junkyard and got a new one i recommend dropping the front right subframe bolt to get more wiggle room
lets gooo, im a real fan of tl's and your videos are amazing I hope you upload alot
Got an 02. Plz send sm though,s
I’m looking to buy a 2008 TL and I’ve looked at two already and they both were slow to start when turning it on. Is that just a TL thing or possibly something wrong?
Where did you get your saw tool?
Its a basic dremel tool, with a cutting disc. You can get that anywhere, a hardware store should have it, even Walmart
Did you get any drone in city and highway driving with this set up?
It's been a long time since i've had this setup. So I don't remember well. But it what I can say.. it's more of a mild setup. A couple steps above an OEM setup. But still sounds very nice and tame. No drone from what I remember
@@thecarfiend11 Thanks. At 1:22 what brand, color, and size of alloys did you install? Looks pretty sick.
it’s been a month , are you still using this product? how’s it holding up so far ?
Still holding up well, no issues besides it heating up on hot days. Doesn't shut down or anything. It just displays a warning for the device being too hot (it's summer and hot, so it makes sense). Still running strong
I gotta 2006 TL with 120k on it. I’ve always wanted to start working on it but never got the knowledge or time to do so, you’ve motivated me to start looking into it. Should I scrap the one I have now and find a new one or do you think it’s worth keeping? Has 2 noticeable dents I’d have to work out eventually lol
What's up! 120K is on the lower side for TL's, in my opinion. If you look for a newer TL, you'll find ones that have way more mileage that what you currently have
Nice video and thanks for showing the dashcam recording 👍
this is nasty bro🤝🔥
What did u use to secure it to silicone? Super glue?
What silicon and where? I don't think I used silicon anywhere
@@thecarfiend11sry I meant the silicone coupler, how does the sensor stay in place?
I don't have anything holding it in place. It's been super tight, no clamp or zip tie needed yet
1 HP gain. haha
sure sure👍
are yall in the boston area? or anywhere in mass
Yup, we're located in Mass. I'm in the north shore area
Did you install the IT sensor to silicone coupler?
yup! Didnt want the hassle of drilling or getting a new intake, etc. a bit costly, but made install super easy
Clean ass TL
Yeah i realized when i seen the video. Lol. I got rl swap on mines.. love um but only issue is they are prone to warp early. No buenoooo
Yoo i had my rl set for years now i love it but i gotta ask. U getting rotor warping issues? Mines warp like sooner than they should. U?
No issues, besides the StopTech calipers prematurely paint chipping off
What if you already have a 3.7
Are the bolts on the inside of the intake manifold gasket 10mm as well ?
yes. I reused all the bolt
TheCarFiend nah its the TheTechFiend! awesome review man! also the greeting chime🫦
You’re the chrisfix for the tl community
I'm not on that level yet haha. But I appreciate the compliment
Nav and radio on the fritz and works when it wants to. Cracks finally on the dash. 3rd gear pop out.
yup, definitely some common issues. I use GM Syncromesh Friction Modified MTF to help alleviate that 3rd gear grind/pop out
@thecarfiend11 yup, I have 3 bottles down in the basement. I just haven't gotten around to it.
How much horsepower does this add to the base 3.2tl?
Not sure, as I did not do any dyno before and after. Should add 5-10 Hp, in theory. Also could be even more if you add complimenting mods, like a cold air intake and intake runners
2005❤
What did you do to do the Brembo swap?? I want to do that to mine too
3G TL's with a manual transmission came standard with Brembo calipers in the front
17" wheels such as TE37, some Advans and similar barreled wheels will fit. Waffles not sure but 5 spokes OEMs definitely don't.
I appreciate the input. Good to see you're back. I still get people asking and usually refer them to you
On the inside its a crackhouse, but on the outside…😎
