Sup, Ive been getting a few PMs from people to follow up with pics from the retrofit I posted a while back.

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-1999-2003-98/ups-came-snap-whats-come-725133/

So here they are nearly complete.








Drivers side was left chrome housing and the passenger side I painted black. I think I like black better so the drivers side I gotta take apart and paint them black. I still have to adjust the height/angle on both headlights but imo worth all the work. Once I readjust them then I will update with some output pics.


These headlights I got were really foggy, Ive polished them a bit but I need to do it a few more times to clear them up.

I'm pretty happy with my car so far, I get compliments all the time, which makes all the modding well worth it. I still cant decide if I want a jdm spoiler or a mugen replica, besides that I think I'm done with the exterior. Anyways, just an update.

 

nice and very clean tl

 

holy retro headlight batman

 

Sweet, nice work, and I agree on painting the other side black also.

 

goin black is a good choice

 

sick retrofit bro!

 

wow never knew your car was so clean. great job on the exterior work so far. i would get a 3 piece mugen imo.

 

Nice work on the retros!

 

dang man looks reall clean

 

Looks really good. Can't wait for the output pics. And get the mugen rep.

 

car is coming along real nicely.
btw i have that mugen rep wing ready to ship...

 

thanks all for your feedbacks, I love feedbacks. I always wanted the mugen wing but I saw a shoot with a couple of 2g's with the JDM spoiler and it looks sick. I'm also looking into maybe painting my rear A to match the car. NOT sure about that but if it doesnt look good, not an expensive fix at all.

 

The 3-piece rep would look sick on your car! The retro-fits came out really nice.

 

Your car looks nicely modded. I say A-Spec spoiler to go with the OEM theme.

 

Thank you.. Browsed around today for the first time in awhile and wanted to shoot myself.. until I saw this refreshingly well-done TL.

 

damn thats nice as hell

 

Ya that is very nice, I have the same debadge thing going on. The A with the type s badge in the same location.

 

Looks good! Glad to see the drop all finished!

 

thanks for all your feedbacks. I'm glad I got her lowered, wheel gap was such an eye sore. The back sits a bit higher then the front, i'll snap some pics of my driveway, no way I can get in, i'm already scraping my sides.

 

lookin nice

I think she would love me...I am black on black Type S...with OEM lip kit...cleared and painted head lights...8000k HID's on....yellow fogs lights...and....shaved ass

That is really good price you got for the A spec rims they look good!

 

yeah I had to drive 3 hours to seattle to pick them up, but needless to say, I was all over it when I saw it, well I was also visiting the gf. Ive watched these rims for the longest time. lol I would love my ssm to be black, but it was a good deal and they gave me more for my car then what I would've sold it for. I actually wouldnt mind some volks te37s or a nice 3 piece for spring/summer.

 

holy moly your a smart shopper... i spent more than that alone on my kit =/... lol well assuming its fiberglass... but yeah still good, how do your coilovers ride?

 

nah man, oem kit. The front I found in seattle, 3 hours away, then the sides and rear I found locally off a wrecked 99. I would never go fiberlass on a lowered car. Coilovers are fine, they arent much different then my eibachs, especially since ground controls are made by eibach.

 

stylez got style man....y does the 02-03 look better everytime..damn you fuckers

 

last shot is soo clean!! and get the inspire wing with the camera to complete your oem look.

 

thanks for all the comments

 

Nice whip, bro.

 

You will definitely have me peekin' around craigslist for aspec wheels lol. Looks good man.

 

wow i need to check ebay more often 200 for gc's

hehe yea man, only sites you should be surfing that late are porn sites!

 

Looks really nice, love the wheels and stance!

 

nice

 

epic win man, nice job

 

the more i look at it, the more i think this is one of the cleanest looking retrofits done.. it blends in and flows pretty well unlike some others. what parts did you use?
