Im looking to get those same rims on my TL.
are those 19x8.5 or 19x10?
I have many questions about all your mods i got a 6mt tl and wanted to get the quad exhaust. how much did those cost you with the rear bumper?

Thanks you and great job on your TL!

.TODD

the bags will be in shortly they take FOREVER. air struts are a month out from buying and ordering. finally they should be here any day now will post.


next upgrades cold air intake that should be in here today
LED full interior and exterior upgrade
and a STOP tech big brake kit im thinking either that or wilwood
build a nice trunk setup for show and that's should do her.
and DEF A ALTERNATOR UPGRADE! I mean shes working but sometimes I drop to 13.1 with the 2 amps and the AZ compressor at 30 amps draw is really gonna piss the alternator off not that I will hit the air much. more so a convenience






19x8.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear


I saved a good 500.00 between paid and bumper by just adding the type s lip to my base rear bumper and it came out good as oem I was shocked on how perfect it came out. there is a diy on it that another member did that I followed along and that was very helpful. my costs were approx. as follows


I bought the front s bumper front and rear and side skirts aspec signal mirrors from an 08 and tail lights from a type s plus had to get all painted oem
your talking around 2500.00
ATLP V2 1000.00
wheels and tires I got a steel for I paid about 1500.00 for everything
not including the bag system and management and all the materials im gonna need to build it to a nice show set up


a lot of money has been invested in this car and the maintenance I am crazy about but hey you buy this stuff one time you never have to buy it again.

Todd-you've got a good plan in place. I hope it all goes fast!

to see what it's going to look like next...

Good job so far!

fabioCT

you did drop some money on it but from what i see your doing it right the first time so you don't have to worry about it later. which is smart!

thats the thing i did think about getting the type s lip for the rear bumper, but I'm not a fan o the front aspec type-s lip. but at the same time i think it would look weird if i just add the lip to the back and not the front.

thanks for the help. have an idea of how much to save up!

Im also thinking about dropping. but not too much, ill keep checking to see once your is dropped to see how it looks. but I'm thinking about getting the rims within the next month or so. Ima go with the gun metal (my tl is the same color as yours). i was thinking about the niche rims but i like the concave vossen look.

iTrader: (3)

Nice mods so far. I usually am against those rims because so many people have them on so many different cars but I must admit they do look real good on your car. Nice work!

.TODD

I just got a really good deal on these I couldn't pass up.i was originally going to go with hhr mrr wheels





thanks these came in today for her ill install them this weekend stay tuned







small project last weekend cold air mostly for cosmetics and better air flow not really power but does have a nice slight whistle
















I would like to powder coat the alternator throttle body and v tech cover and reservoir to bring it together nothing crazy haven't decided on a cover.


after that big brake kit haven't decided on a brand yet tho. slotted ported rotors just for cosmetics I don't drive my car too crazy

Love the progress Todd!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures of it on bags

.TODD

going to start on my trunk setup. going to grab some MDF and start making some trunk plans to accommodate for the tank ,compressor, 2 amps and 2 subs just hoping my battery and alternator can handle that kind of draw. its a high performance auto craft AGM platinum supposed to be top of the line if not I always have an extra XS power battery hanging around here.


thanks I appreciate it kinda running out of things too do big difference from a year ago when I first got it. I plan on keeping this car till im old lol so im putting my heart into it trying not to take any short cuts but im thinking I may need a boosted alternator. I guess will see


thanks bro slowly but surly.

Car looks good especially the fenders touching the wheel lips. Where in PA are you from? I'm so close to tucking my front wheels in.

.TODD

im in wilkes barre. thanks for the love im a little torn with the stance on one hand I love dumping low tucking the wheels with no camber kit. on the other hand I love that bulky flush look BUT cant drop it on its nuts tho once you hit the rim that's it. but I love pulling up parking and dumping way down so fuck ill deal with it not to mention with factory sways links ect its a breeze to move to the winter set up when the time comes so its good I guess. just really not happy with PA its a shitty whether state. this car belongs on a beach somewhere.
