maybe you are almost tucking cause these tires are fatter? possibly unlevel ground. the 30 goodies look good man. those headlights will set your car off nice. glad you got rid of the weirdly tinted roadlamps.

yeah maybe the tires...and the tinted lamps didnt grow on me one bit. but too bad i took it off because a couple days later, something hit it, and it shattered...go figure huh.

oh and you guys see the sponsored BM...a guys blacking out headlights, but i might do it myself, with the glue he recammends using. since it sits under the cover all week.

I am a fan of the TL wheels better, although I think the TSX wheels are very fitting - it might just be the gunmetal

no i dont think the time or money would be worth it, theres not that much of a difference.

like i said thier only temporary, i thought my TL rims were bent or the tires were out of balance so i threw these on to see if it was still happenening, and it is, so i know its not the rims or tires....just trying to eliminate things.

Befinately like the TSX wheels. Not sure about the spray paint. As for the car cover....just a quick word....A friend of mine did that as well and it only helped the assholes that broke into his car. Since it's covered, no one will know until the cover is removed if someone vandalized or broke into your car.

I kinda like it but I think I liked the TL wheels a little better. Props for finally doing something with those though.

hum never thought about that...some asshat already messed with it, pulling it halfway off . but its right under my window and i keep a pretty good eye on it, so hopefully it wont get broken into again.

i definatly like the TL rims soo much more but a little variety is cool. im just messin around with them. hopefully i can get them refinished maybe a light gumetal

NO. Water marks come off. Some asshole keying your car because he thinks you are arrogant for keeping your car covered does not come off as easily.

Either way ur car looks good. You can actually see the difference in drop between the tsx and the tl wheel. I like the tl setup better. The tsx setup looks to low for me. I want to go with Eibach Pro Kit Plus but 2" is low. It seems like u have to go with a wider, flatter tire so it doesn't look tucked in.
