At the very least it was good to hear when I'd scrape that to know I was too low/close to something.
Agreed. I took mine off two weeks ago and kind of miss the scrape. it was a sure-fire way to know when i was pushing the limit. Without it, I just have to hope I don't hit my front lip or J-pipe.
Supposedly it routes air up...but there's debate on it. I never chose to remove it before, but now that i have, it looks cleaner.

Haha really? I always thought it was a scrape warning since the TL-S has an oddly long nose that makes clearance an issue even at stock height sometimes.
Definitely helps with steep curbs/driveways to know if I'm doing it right
This car reminds me of Knight Rider for some reason...but updated and way more aggressive looking. Great setup and surprised the wheels fit so well. I considered going with that same setup in the V718 but was told by VMR there would be more poke than I would want and thus convinced me to stick with the 8.5. Looking at yours almost makes me want to have pushed for the 9.5 though...it fits so well on your setup.

Thank you for your kind word sir.
So last night was a bad night for me. Was exiting a freeway off ramp and there was blocks of wood waiting for me all over. Ran over it. Huge rock hit my right front wheel. Lucky there wasn't any body damage.
Now I have to repair my wheel tomorrow...

Wsup guys! Sorry I've been MIA. Work schedule is keeping me busy! Well, here's what I just got done with the TLS since we last talked.
Got myself some Stop-Tech Sport slotted rotors all 4 corners. And picked up Akebono Performance Pads in the fronts and Pro-Act in the rears.
Also painted my calipers red with Por15 kit.
Here are the results.
... As of right now, I kind of not liking it due to the POP action. Also another reason I'm not liking it is because the rotors size is not filling up my 19's. I either have to downsize on wheels or switch to BBK to be satisfied.
Here is a picture before I did the paint job.
I'm liking more of the stealth look compare to the pop look.
I've never been a fan of red brakes on any car but I agree it pops in a negative way. I like your old setup better. Have you considered a nice silver or something?
on a related note don't you love the minimal brake dust from those pads?! I recommend that setup to everyone that asks for brakes
Haha, I might switch back to black or more of a darker shade of gray.
I was kind of disappointed when I saw the end results.
I can't say on the pads yet because I just got it done today. Give me a few days and I'll get a review. But, you are right, the reason I got these pads are because of the low brake dust. So let's see if it works wonders. Lol
I hate red calipers, but they look well done, and match the red accents on the car from the rear.
I'd rock them like that for a while. Maybe your mind will change.
About no pop...I don't like NON bbk to pop...but we have BBK...so I like to see them behind the wheels. I'd sleep on it.
what about a burnt copper/orange to match your turning signals? i think that would flow well with your wheels and headlights!
if i ever change up my teal brembo color i'll for sure go burnt copper/orange to match the headlights
