Amazing lowering job. However, what really strikes me is that set of wheels. They are GORGEOUS. I like the TL stock 5-spokes, but this is much nicer. We're talking serious bank here.

I thought the Mugen rear lip spoiler curves upwards at the back, which is why I didn't want to get it in the first place. Hey Unique TL, please take more pics of your Mugen trunk spoiler at different angles please. Thanks!

First of all, thank you all for your nice compliments! Now I will attempt to answer all of your questions!

1. the mats were custom made.
2. the exhaust is the custom made also, I took two tsudo porsche boxter style mufflers, and made a full cat-back out of them.
3. It is the ww lip kit w/ mugen spoiler. I will be molding a new kit on in the spring.
4.Rims are Dronnell Type II 19x8 47ot 225/35/19 falken (no rubbing whatsoever) (20's or 21's in the spring also!)
5.As for the suspension, I put about $2500 into it, to do it right, unlike the B.S. ricky racer $895 kits. (my cylinders are EAI, however they will soon be changed to the Canover, or Dropzone, due to ride quality.

I will post plenty more pics in the gallery of: the whole car, including full interior, and air-ride install.

I will also gladly give any complete info on air-ride suspensions, this is my 3rd air-ride vehicle. just p.m. me.

First of all I just want to say that is the most impressive car I've seen on this site yet! I love the dronell wheel, and the fact that you're one of the first with adjustable suspension. AWESOME CAR! E.A.I. (Eccentrix Auto Innovation a.k.a the Hack Shack). Oringinally Cain Morris (owner of the Hack Shack) developed this airride system with A.I.M., and after a long legal battle, created a new company called E.A.I. to market the cylinders. In my opinion E.A.I. aicylinders aren't that great. Not too much better than the Ricky Racer aka AIM aka dropit.org facility. I personally think the SMC air cylinders are some of the best on the market. Some have good luck with Bimbas. I was at SEMA and checked out the DropZone (Ground Zero DZ motorsports http://www.DZmotorsports.com)Accord and their cylinders are really well make. I think if you're concerned about ride quality you'll want a cylinder with a larger volume, however with clearance issues that isn't always possible in the front. The air "accumulators" actually work pretty well. If you get the DropZone cylinder I think they're brackets don't allow you to sit too low, but can be modified for an additional drop. Also, assuming you'll ever get low enough with aircylinders where your upper control arms hit the body, it's possible to trim that out and get an additional one inch lower.

Hey Unique,

I flipped when I saw pics of your car and emailed them to a buddy of mine in Toronto, He told me that he met you in Englishtown. He told me about your car and I thought he was b*llsh*tting me.
Anyways that is the nicest TL anywhere.
What's funny is that I was supposed to bag my TL but didn't because my friend bagged his Integra and had problems, and I just sold my wheels and the Dronell type 2's where one of the wheels I was considering.
At least know I know what they look like on the car! I guess I gotta find other wheels, I don't want to bite your style.

Unique, hows the handling with the airbag suspension? Is it safe to rip turns with it?? Does it handle better than stock?

The air ride suspension on most vehicles is very floaty, and have horrible handling. I have air ride on my civic, and the days of whipping around turns rapidly ended. However for some reason on the TL it is a lot better in handling and ride quality. Not nearly as smooth as stock or even Comptech springs for that matter, I would equate the ride quality to a accord or integra with a coilover sleeve setup. What is cool on the TL you can truly see how ride qualitly is effected by the height. When I have the cylinders raised fully it is very stiff, and almost wobbily on turns. At a lowering spring height it is good for driving through towns, and turns but still a little bumpy. When It is slammed most of, or all the way it handles like a race car, but as smooth as a Cadillac, however turning is minimal, or I will rip my fenders off. Keep in mind I live in NJ which probably has the worst roads in the U.S. I assume the roads in HI are much better. as my overall view of the system you can have a lot of fun with it, with a little sacrifice. I can still go 80-100 on the highway, however no more pulling of exits or semi-sharp turns at 60-70. Besides it looks the best cruisin' low and slow. Everybody is all in to racing which was very fun, but you can't pick up chicks whipping by!
