Good News!
I got the easiest part of the way first and the color doesn't appear to be as different as I was anticipating (can't even tell a difference in the pics). It really looks good so far!

Wow what kind of reverse lights do you all have in these pictures? Factory Halogens? VLEDs? Which VLEDs if it's VLEDs?

Andy and I have 5k VLEDs found here:

Not sure what Luke has. The way that the camera took this picture makes mine (on the right) look more yellow than everyone else's.

I've been on Clubrsx.com for several years and this is the first time I've gone through every page to follow progression. For your age (and entirely regardless of age, also), you've done a great job with the updates. Good job kid.

My thoughts while reading this also.

At your age, with my TL, there is no way I could have done half the stuff you've done to it. Great work man! The car looks amazing. And the A-Spec kit is going to really top the look off.

I have these CREE bulbs. I read that they were better for people w/out a back-up cam. I love 'em, especially with my tailgater switch! http://store.ijdmtoy.com/25W-CREE-Hi...led-sku319.htm

Pics pics pics!

Alright, sorry for the delay guys. I've had the full kit installed for 2 weeks, just haven't had time to update this.

It looks INCREDIBLE! I can't believe I waited this long to finally buy it. The color isn't perfect (surprise, surprise), but it's completely tolerable. This was a necessary addition to the car for sure. I should've listened sooner!

Couple more pics with sideskirts only (It's Godzilla, come on!)



Ok, here we go. Full kit pics in 3...2...1...




















If you remember from the first post of this thread, I bought the car completely stock from my older brother. He's been car-less ever since then (shares 2012 MDX w/ wife), and finally got a new whip. He just couldn't take it anymore after seeing how much my car has evolved. They look pretty sick together! He says he wants to keep it mostly stock. I know that won't last long :wink: 2011 BMW 335i with X-Drive and M-Sport Package.


















Soooo... What do you think?

I like your car =)

Reminds me very much of Tyler's TL

Blacked out grill including the A badge, a-spec rims, black roof, black trunk emblem, no trunk lip. You just need to go lower, and add a ATLP exhaust and you're his twin lol

btw polish the exhaust tips

Thanks a lot man! I know our cars are really similar, but like you said, we obviously both just have good taste

Also, thanks for not letting up on me about the A-Spec Kit! I'm so glad I finally went through with it, and you definitely helped push me in that direction.

Late night update

Not quite as exciting as the last thread update, but in addition to the recently installed A-Spec Kit, I've been busy with more maintenance related things too (both installing stuff, and also buying stuff for future installs)

I did my 4th and final tranny flush with Redline fluid (figured I'd do an extra one just because), and also replaced the tranny filter. Must...Save...Tranny!!!


I bought all new tranny mounts, XLR8 62A motor mounts, and compliance bushings. I'm in the process of deciding how many of these parts I want to install myself



Tonight I started the mission of replacing all my burnt out bulbs in the dash, steering wheel, etc. I thought about LEDs, but wimped out. Hopefully more bulbs don't start dying right after I get everything buttoned back up, lol.




Just a couple randoms I took on this very wet and cold evening.

Car looks great man, I really like what you've done with it. A-Spec seems to be a difficult decision for some people, but I've yet to read about someone who was on the fence regretting it afterwards. Keep up the good work!

I know for sure the side motor mount is completely shot, and I'm guessing the front and rear are also. As far as I know, they've never been replaced and I'm at 131,500 right now. I'll definitely report back with my first impressions.

Looks Great Luke!

Damn, that filter was dirty! I just replaced mine for the second time, at only ~65K, and mine wasn't even half as dirty! Good preventative maintenance tho! Did you also change your pressure switches for (3rd & 4th)?

Frosty what is your friends KBP TL-S sitting on? The stance is perfect and I'd love to do the same.

amazing looking ride too Frosty, seriously, the A-Spec kit just knocked it out of the park.

Makes me miss my WDP!

Damn OP. great job for such a young kid, you've got a knack! I got my WDP Type S just recently too and have been on the fence about A Spec kit and wheels. Also that gloss black roof and plastidip grill, you're doing all the hard work for me! I can simply look at your entire thread and picture how my car will be, keep up the good work!

interesting…

so if I read this correctly you bought base TL springs and are using on your S?
and the koni's are lowest perch all around?

looks super dope, love the wider tires too.
