You live in Hampton roads right? I saw a full set of 05 TL wheels with tires on them (about 6/32 tread left on each) at Crazy Rays here in Mount Airy MD. They looked in pretty good condition. The guy at the counter said I could take it all for $80. Unfortunately I couldn't get them as it was starting to rain and all were still on the car with rusty lugs and I didn't have a drill with me. This was about 2 weeks ago, there's a chance they are still there. So if you are willing to make the trip than i'd say it's worth it.
^^ yea thats a good deal. but those wheels arent perement i just was getting them to get tires and wheels for winter im getting better wheels come tax time. those are just temp wheels lol but im leaning towards the tl wheels in northern va set of 5 in perfect shape no bends or curbage with brand new tires for 350
^^ yea i cant seem to have any luck with tl wheels man. trust me if i can find a set i would use them for winter wheels, but every set i seem to find the person backs out and wants to keep them lol. but these tsw wheels seem to be best bet right now lol
dont know if you figured out the suspension setup yet, but this might help...

^^ thanks for the info. yea i have been researching for a while. im most likely just going with 91-95 legend coils and just driling 2 holes with forks. seems alot easier to do lol.
as for update on my wheels. looks like no wheels for me for a bit lol. i sold some stuff had money but hour before i hit up both dudes with tsw and tl wheels both got sold
. so no wheels for now just going to pick up some new tires for oem rl wheels and possibly paint them and dress them up a little bit lol.thinking of painting them and maybe leaving the lip silver on it. painting the center spokes teal. just a thought lol. or all black or white.
also finally got my driver side fog light working took out bulb wiped it down and put it back now works

alright so update on my thread. going to install my lip hopefully this weekend. and ordered some new tires ordered some 225/45/17 nankang tires for now so i can get these wheels put on here is a pic of what im doing. this is happening in a few weeks lol so will give the car a little better look lol.
^^ yea i have noticed reason i just went with home depot lip lol. but wheels and lip are both installed, and extremely happy with outcome. to dark to post pics but will have pics posted tomorrow morning when i get some light.
actually its off of ebay i paid like $35 for it came with double sided tape already on it and everything. and you just fit it to the bumper didnt use a heat guy or anything just followed along nicely. here is what i ordered. but you can get the garage door stuff from home depot or lowes. but you shouldnt have to use a heat gun lol. should follow nicely

I've seen that before but does it bolt on or fasten on or is it strictly double sided adhesive?
The Home Depot lip is what i went with and I've torn the hell out of this thing and never had a problem. I'd be worried with the adhesive lip it'd get torn off possibly.

Ok, I was curious. I know with my Home Depot lip... it started out about an inch tall from the bottom of the front bumper to the bottom of the lip...
I might have shaved off 1/4" already. and it is still holding strong.

haha nice. yea this one doesnt hang down to low. and i have scrapped it on some drive ways and speed bumps pretty good so far driving around this past weekend and its still holding pretty good with just double sided tape.
RL lips are rare and expensive... if you find one, they are normally $800 before shipping costs from Japan.
When i called MemoryFab about the Evolution Aero lip, it was that much at least... I've been looking for a lip for this chassis for years and that was the first glimpse of hope

yea my home depot lip is about 2 inches from bumper to bottom, my friend has a sheet of plastic where i work so i might just cut some out and use it as the facade of my lip since one side is textured and the back is smooth.
Maybe i'll extend the lip another 2 inches lolz... i love being bagged haha
