Oostevey's progress thread updated 8/28/15

Hey guys,
I'll post better pictures and some before and after pictures very shortly I'm just posting this from my iPhone for now lol. We just finished it two nights ago and I was at a local show in Toronto called Importfest yesterday so I'll try my best to update this.

Took you long enough....









Looks good. At the ride height you were at with coils, AIR is what you needed.

Stevey, I hope everyone that rides in your car is VERY lightweight. Any lower and you're officially dragging!

Steven, you DO realize he is on AIR right? He has a daily ride height, then dumps it when parked.

Nothing touches but the smallest bump in the road will scrape the exhaust pipes. We cut out a but into the strut tower to make it go that low. Ps...deca your car is my dream TL!

Hey! Our cars look alike . Are those 18's or 19's? Also is that black trim molding you have on your lips? Not to be mean or anything, but IMO your car would look cleaner without them.

His lip kit was purchased from a local non dealer place. It is fiberglass and fitment is sub par. I think it was like 3 - 4 for the kit plus paint.

It came out alright but he could of had a perfect factory aspec kit for the same price

Thanks for the reply Paul! He was right. It's going in for a complete paint job this winter. So the terrible fitment will be corrected. Lol. I'll try to update this page tonight with before and after shots!

The tips I got at a local exhaust shop. They had them in stock for pretty cheap!

I live in the west mountain by Ancaster. Keep in touch and we can definitely meet up once I bring the car back out from the shop.

As for the luxury abstract wheels...I had a horseshoe up my ass and won a set at a raffle held at "Black 3" which is a ViP themed car show in New Jersey! Definitely one of the happier moments in life
