Looks like the Type S kit will be going on in the next 2-3 weeks, along with the decklid spoiler and quad exhaust tips.

Type S A-Spec kit is going to the paint shop tomorrow, 3.5" Quad tips have been ordered...just debating if I should get a set of wheels, coilovers or just lowering springs. Just want a nice comfortable ride for daily driving. What do you guys think?

An awesome cleanly done car. I have the same car but with body side molding and painted mud flaps. You are definitely doing to your car similar to what I'd do. Keep up good work. Suttle mods sometimes go a long way.

I would love to drive that! To me, my X-Runner was fast especially after upgraded to Long Tube Headers, full 3" cat back, URD MAF calibrator, and the URD True Cold Air Intake. The headers made a huuuge difference!

Installing just springs is pretty scary.
Good job on the spray!

Safe to say this was the most ignorant comment I've seen lately. I'm gonna be a nice guy and say that your EVO and STI money pit is shallow compared to a Z06 and a GTR monies pit.

ANY car can be a money pit.

The springs are pretty easy. just getting the back seats out was the hard part. Your TL looks nice, Im ready to see that A-spec kit on it.
