Owner
Josh Randall
Ride
Silvie
(2005 Acura TL)
Meaning Behind the Name
I give my cars their names based on their colors. My silver TL is"Silvie". My old gold turbo civic is"Goldie". My blackTSX's name is "Blackie Chan". It's just a thing I do.

Ride Details

Original Cost
$4500
Build Cost
I've put around $10,000 into Silvie.
What was the inspiration?
I've always loved the 3rd gen TL's ever since they came out back in 2004. I could leave the car stock so it has turned into what it is today. I've built the car the way I wanted and not by what others have done.
How long did it take you to build?
2 years
How long have you been building?
I have been building the car now for about 2 years. It's always a work in progress so I'm sure there will be more to come in the future.
Club Affiliations
None
Your future plans?
Want to get some "Baller" 3pc wheels and maybe be a wrap on the car.
