I went with the 15mm ones that IND Distribution sells. They sell the kit from Future Classic. The kit is 100% top quality and install is straight forward. While I had the wheels off, I deep cleaned, wax and ceramic coated the wheels, barrels and calipers. I also have wheel spacers on my Acura. I paid more for those because they were custom made and I wanted the best quality spacers. I did 15mm all around on my Acura as well.

I did ask IND which mm most buy. They told me almost everyone buys 15mm all around. Some do 15mm up front and 20mm in the back. I wanted the stance to look the same all around.

I wanted to remove all the cerium, but I left whatever was left as a contrast touch. I may end up doing the rest, not sure yet.

Toodalu · 04-10-2020, 07:25 AM

Small update,

Custom plates finally arrived!

The ///M rear door sills from Amazon also arrived yesterday. I plan on installing everything once the weather clears up. I'm waiting for the rear 3D Design carbon fiber diffuser to arrive in the next 2-3 weeks.

I went same route. Black grilles, carbon mirrors to really pop. The Cirium on the fromt boomerangs, side vents and badges is a good contrast and on white it doesn't take away from anything. I'm not a part of the whole "Cirium delete" party because some of it can look okay.

Toodalu · 04-22-2020, 10:03 AM

Had a moment to install the plates and the rear door sills.

dcchris311 · 04-23-2020, 09:37 AM

Wow! Beautiful X3!!! I'm aiming for a similar look once my M40i comes in....they need to hurry up and open the plant back up!

TX3M · 04-23-2020, 09:48 AM

Wow, your 13 year old Acura is mint!

Thank you! I've owned it for 13 years now. It's a 2004, so 16 years old. It's one of the most pristine 2004-2008 Acura TL's out there.

Firedog550 · 04-23-2020, 02:44 PM

Quick question. Your mirror caps... are they the BMW ones, or the autotecknic ones from IND? If the BMW ones I’m sure the figment was good but if it was the autotecknic, I was wondering about how they fit. I ordered the autotecknic and the grills like yours and received the grills but not the mirror caps. Just received an email from IND about the mirror caps.

They are the Autotecknic ones IND sells. The fitment and quality is 100%

Firedog550 · 04-23-2020, 10:58 PM

Sweet thank you. According to their email they should be getting them back in stock in May so I have a couple of weeks before they ship to me. I gotta say though that front lip looks really good!

and it was the last Acura model that interest me

Excellent X3 and nice mods

Thank you and awesome man! You will love them! The install is start forward. I started on the bottom side, far outer end and worked my way in little by little.The CF lip was a big improvement to the front end look. Lots of compliments from others when they see it in person. I should have the rear CF diffuser by next week, if not the following week. That will be the next big upgrade.

Thank you! Yes, one of the BEST sedans that Acura produced. The manual transmission ones, sell higher than their value. The Type-s with a manual and low miles can still sell as much as 18K and they eventually do sell. If I was to every sell my TL, I would list it on Bring A trailer.

Will be doing an update soon! I'm waiting for the rear carbon fiber diffuser to come and closing a deal on M699 wheels.

Toodalu · 04-30-2020, 06:05 PM

Great news! 699M wheels will be mounted over the weekend and IND has confirmed my 3D design rear carbon fiber diffuser has arrived to them and they were inspecting / getting ready to ship out to me. Diffuser will be in on Monday!

Toodalu · 05-02-2020, 04:45 PM

A small update.

Got the 699M wheels mounted on and the 3D Design carbon fiber rear diffuser installed. Will take SLR photos tomorrow.
