Well I did a few updates even though it's still winter time. I got the modding urge and threw inhibitions to the wind and said fack it!
The Brembo have been painted for a little while now, but I don't think I have taken any pics of them, so there's that.
By some stroke of amazing luck I came across a FS thread in the BM of someone selling a full CBP Type-S ASPEC kit AND he was from NJ. Come to find out he also owns an S2000 too, so that definitely sealed the deal, so I jumped on that as quick as I could and picked it up shortly after.
I also got around to installing the Tein SS coilovers I bought from another member on the BM a little while back. I was originally going to wait until Spring, but winter here in NJ has been pretty mild except for the huge storm we got a couple weeks ago and then it all melted within a week.
Last but not least, I bought John's (ebelp) Advan RS rims since he was selling his car and needed to unload them. I really couldn't beat the price he was giving me either so lets just say it was an offer I couldn't refuse.
The end result......

Thanks!
Thank you Sir, and for the title update as well.
Lol, thanks brother!
Thanks!
Thank you. Being CBP, there aren't too many color choices I can do the brakes so I thought this would match the side markers and turn signals well.
Thanks man! I am thinking I am going to lower the rear a tad more to even it out some. Not by much though, maybe another 1/4". Definitely not as low as my last TL, so this one rides so much nicer and I don't scrape anything or hit the damn shock tower at all!

Thanks D! Sometimes I can't believe I bought another TL when there are so many other cars to choose from, but even for an 8-9 year old car to me it still looks way better than most of the stuff some of these manufacturers are putting out.
Thank you, Tyler!
Thanks man! I used VHT Burnt Copper for the Brembo. It's extremely tough to work with though. You need to do VERY light coats and make sure the calipers are super clean. Otherwise you will get a ton of runs and the paint won't want to stick in certain spots. Also, I have the TRS (theretrofitsource) HID fog light kit with 3k bulbs.
Lol, thanks Steven, stop back as often as you'd like!

Did a little work to the S2000 while she was just sitting in the garage.

What size are those advans?
One of the most gorgeous TL's I've ever seen. What offset/size wheels are you running to fit the brembos? Any fender work you had to get done to fit them properly? Keep up these amazing posts

Thanks! I sold my TL-S about a year ago, but the offset of the wheels were 18x9 +35. I ran 5mm spacers in the rear and nothing up front. I had the fenders rolled in the back and front although I don’t believe it was super necessary.
