Looks great Ross! Did you not get the side skirts?

iTrader: (2)

Sweet man!! looks really good but please cover the hole of the rear under spoiler...

rossv1

Thanks guys!

The guy that I bought it from didnt have the side skirts or the rear grille. I'll probably buy them a little later on but I'm happy with how it looks.

And the pinstripe will never come off.

Who's that? My girlfriend hates pinstripes. She took them off of her last car and helped me remove them on mine.

So what's next after the side A-Specs?
Roof?

rossv1

Spacers are next on the list. And if I can grow a pair I'd really like to open up my tails and do something like Rockstar did with his.

I like the pinstripe on your car so keep them!

about the hole, gotta get the grille soon or else you are going to get fingered by every car that drives behind you! LOL

Remove the stripe!

Car looks great, Ross, you must have been holding the brake and idling down that clay road.

rossv1

24no7 gets it; pinstripe will never come off. I think it looks good on my car and not many people have the pinstripe on.


Funny you mention it Austin, I literally went 3 MPH down the dirt road so it wouldn't kick up any dust.

DAT WDP!

Your pinstripe actually isn't bad at all. Its the vinyl ones that are all crooked and cock eyed that annoy me.

Very nice

I do about 5-10 mph down my dirt road Luckily it's only 2 steets till I hit pavement.

Hey Tyler, the best part about my pictures has to be the lack of snow right?

ebelp

I actually kinda like the way the painted mudflaps look. I never knew they worked with the Aspec side skirts...or are those not Aspec skirts? I can't tell.

Undying Dreams

Reading > John

quanaman

iTrader: (4)

I didn't read either but they look like the regular sideskirts.

IF you have the rear aspec though you can't have the mudflaps, which is the case here. I like mudflaps but if you can't put on all 4, I wouldn't put on any.

Although they certainly are functional

rossv1

And that's why I'm not worried about the Aspec sides. Most people won't be able to tell a difference, like John.



Front mudflaps will come off when I've got time. Will there be any marks leftover from where they were on?

KJ TL-S

iTrader: (9)

I didn't have much in the way of marks. I had to clean mine a bit and use some wax, but no big deal.

Nice pics! And spacers will make a huge visual difference in your stance

rossv1

Thanks for the info. I may try to get it done tomorrow.

About the spacers, will I have to get a camber kit when I get the spacers?




And I've been considering repainting my Brembos a different color. Any suggestions? I want something that'll stand out, but not look ricey.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

What size spacers are you getting? What size are your tires? With my 245s on a 8.5" wide wheel I rubbed, even with rolled rear fenders.

Personally I would keep your Brembos black since you have other black elements on the car such as the emblems and the dookie ass pinstripe

If you really want to change them up, I've always loved the blue that Rotora offers on their BBK. I think it would look phenomenal on WDP.

rossv1

My tires are 235's. I've thought about going with a 15f/20r but I'd need to get my fenders rolled with those. If I went with 15 all around, I wouldn't need to roll but then they wouldn't be as flush as I'd like. And Tyler, my Brembos are silver. I already repainted them but want to switch them out.


And that blue looks great. I'll have to check Autozone or somewhere and see if they have a color that's close.

What about green? I've thrown that idea around too.

Roll your fenders and do 15/20

I don't think green would look good TBH.

I know Austin

quanaman

iTrader: (4)

Yeah, 20/25 or 15/20 f/r are the best setups for stock wheels. You may be able to get away with not rolling your fenders with 15/20, but for 20/25 you'll definitely want to have them rolled

I have the same problem; trying to figure out what color to paint my brembos. Silver and white are top on my list.

rossv1

Where do you get fender rollers from and how much do they usually run to rent?

quanaman

iTrader: (4)

I honestly don't trust myself doing it cause I know it's possible to mess things up if you don't know what you're doing. I ended up paying a professional in my area 80$ for both rear fenders. He came to my house and did it. I follow him on FB and IG and hes well known in my area for doing great work (he works on cars much nicer than my TL). He heated up the fender slightly with a heat gun and checked the temp. regularly with a laser temperature scanner. I'm pretty sure that was done to make sure the paint didn't crack while the he was rolling and slightly pulling the fenders.

I've read theres websites that charge 50$ for rental:

rossv1

The paint cracking is the only thing I'm worried about. $80 isn't bad for a little extra piece of mind.

Will the spacers cause me to need camber kits?

quanaman

iTrader: (4)

No, they don't change anything as far as your suspension so it won't change your alignment settings; no need for a camber kit.


Whats that sticker on your rear bumper? My TLS has the same one and came that way from the previous owner. IDK what it means lol.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Ross are you part of any local car forums? I found a guy who lives just a few miles from my parents and he did both of mine for $20. Local ftw.

rossv1

The blue and black sticker just shows that there's a law enforcement officer in the family. It sometimes helps with getting out of a ticket.


Acurazine is the only forum I'm a member of. I wouldn't even know where to look for local forums.

Where the eff is that sticker?! I don't see it anywhere on your car.
