I liked the RJ Legends when I first saw them but then it started to lose it's appeal. But on this color it looks fantastic for some reason. I don't get tired of looking at it. Smoked sidemarkers, everything clean. The car is just done right. Years later the look is still fresh.

thanks! lol didnt notice how tight it was. that's what she said
thanks! the color definitely grew on me and looks a lot nicer with the proper lip kit
nope! i had my oem 2005 exhaust mid muffler removed before this, so going to this tl-s exhaust with the mid muffler still intact made my car quieter.
thanks! was thinking of wrapping the rear lip exhaust ducts in carbon fiber or smoking the white parts of the tails.
someone from heeltoe was trying to drum up support for these trim pieces but wanted $250
. I want to try to do this with the rear lip with vinyl.

I love what you've done with the car. I've always thought the less common colors have more wow-factor and really stand out with the mods.
Props especially for the type s front lip - I am super jealous!

Very nice - can you do a couple before/after comparison shots? I have the a-spec trunk spoiler but really wanted the type s, not sure how different they really are though lol

thanks all! Never imagined i'd be doing a tl-s conversion, but I got the itch and couldnt stop buying parts LOL.
I'm going to install my fogs and blackhouse my headlights when I have time next month.
Unless i get a sick deal on wheels and suspension, it's probably going to be looking like this for quite a while.

picked up a tl-s cluster and clock, real simple install
since i have an 05 with no tpms, the TPMS error shows up on the MID when i start the car, but i just click out of it. The notification icon was always lit and the airbag sensor light is on when I did this so I opened up the cluster and taped off the notification icon and the airbag icon. I can live with the TPMS warning as this looks sick!
everything works!
this is the only thing that shows when i start the car. other than that, nothing different form my old stock cluster!
