after:

 

looks really good. how's the ride?

 

That looks REALLY freakin' good, man!


I have a question though... Do those TL wheels stick out at all?? Before it was lowered, I was thinking they did. however, now that it's lowered, it doesn't look like that anymore. What's the deal?

 

And do they rub?

 

Yeah you can see that they stick out, but it doesn't look that bad.

 

mucho better

 

wheels are sticking out a bit... but to keepin it clean.

 

Looks way better than I previously anticipated. Good job.

 

 

Looks good I plan on droppin mine real soon too but keep procrastinatin you know what I mean! But my 2003 clp is a construction in progress. Keep up the customizations bro.

 

actually i thought they would, but they dont! only if i take a hard ass turn they slightly rub...but nothing significant.

the ride is awesome....i have it on firmest all around, and it rides really smooth. it is like a night and day difference.

the TL rims dont stick out.....they tuck in there perfectly!! i set her off the jacks and they were straight as an arrow...so no need for my SPC kit.

 

it's quite obvious from your pics the wheels stick out and don't tuck at all.

don't get ur panties in a wad and start lying to yourself, it's not a big deal.

 

whether or not you rub is a yes or no question.

just answer " I rub."

 

^^ do you have to be such a fucking dickhead all the time?

 

the before pic's weather makes the car look ugly. 2nd pic: good weather.

 

Very clean man, real nice.

 

uhm, who are you

 

better hang onto that spc kit. the springs aren't settled yet, and it might look different once you drive for a few days.

 

i bought the springs used so they're settled a bit. altho i wouldnt mind it a bit lower

 

thats exactly what i thought too....it must have done some secret jedi mind trick to us? heres another B4 & after.....

 

How is the ride on the Illumina's vs. stock? I have H&R sports and Illuminas to install and wonder what to set the rears on so I dont have to take out the rear seats all the time.

 

i put them on 5 all around, just for fun....and turns out thats not too rough at all. i love it...but im sure anything else will be just fine, im gonna mess around with them here in a few days

 

Jedi mind trick for sure... It looks fine to me.

What's the offset on those wheels again? Aren't they 17x8 too?

 

yep...17x8, +45

 

Nice!

 

holy spiderwebs batman!

 

yeah i know, a lil help from previous owner, but you know how are paint job is...investing in some zaino soon to hopefully help that issue...it just got the perfect angle where it hit the sun.

 

Mine looks like hell too. I think some lady with a small kid owned mine before me. The whole car is pretty jacked. I try but it will never be perfect again.

 

tru that....cuz these retards dont give a flyin flip bout there own cars and just spray er down and wipe er off...using the cheapest shit they can find at the best bargain, thinking, oh that shits all the same...and what happens? they jack the car up and not even realize why theres big circles in there doors...oooo it makes me sooo flippin mad!!!! careless people

sorry, just venting

 

hey stealth,, why dont you tell us what you really think..

 

I feel what you're saying, man. Vent on!

 

yeah my bad..your paints not jacked?? you got a NBP

 

Fresh paint job.. It was jacked.. Im real picky.. I just like it when someone rants like i think..

 

tru that man..im probably the pickiest person when it comes to my car espesially my paint! if someone touches it i flip out then they try to wipe the print off with their shirt and i blow it!! im so scared of those lil scratches on our POS paint job. id love to repaint mine but im 18 and broke so that doesnt really work out too good.

 

liquid glass works wonders on the nbp..

 

Looks a lot better dropped. I must say, I'm suprised you don't rub.

 

that makes two of us! thanks ravi, i got a set of TSX rims too just in case....looks like i wont be needing them anymore

 

I stilll say you should get those TSX wheels powder coated.

 

u wanna pay 4 it?? j/k.. i wish i had the money to do that
