That's such a TIIIIIIIGHT ride, man! Those wheels look awesome!!!! May I ask how much the set runs? Also, we really wish we had gotten a WDP.....although we do love our NBP...when it's clean....except for the scratches & chips that it easily shows.

Hey, I love the picture in front of the Whataburger with the sign that says "Pain"........appropriate for your TL-S!

Please give me the 411 on those wheels & tires!

Enjoy gloating w/ your TL-S!

NICE!

Whats your opinion of interior noise from the exhaust?

What is the size/offset of your rims?

Never mind question #2 you answered it at the same time I posted !

What about question number 1?

I kept the two factory resonators becuase I didnt want it loud at all...its very quiet and deep.... you hear the intake more than the exhaust....

Very nice Faz What's next? Headers? Thought about de-badging your TL and take off the front license plate? I love those Volks.

I am also anxious to see what the mystery mod is. Now you have all the go-fast goodies, don't forget to get some nice brake pads to help you in those panic, sudden decelerations

Does the spoiler that you have on your car, come with the rest of the body kit, or can you purchase the tail seperaty? How much?
Does it come painted?

I like you spoiler because it is low enough so you don't have that third brake light in the spoiler as well as in the back window.

That's the Wing's West lip spoiler... available right on this site. Click the link below and scroll down to the last section which is the Wing's West section. The lip spoiler is the last pic on the bottom right, the b&w picture.....

THANK YOU !!!
I have always wanted a classy 4dr and I had a setup like this in mind all along...I was first lookin at ABP but theres something about the WDP :p

Its H&R, the drop is 1.8 but i was told that these springs were originally made for Accord V6. since the TL is heavier, the drop ends up being 2.2....it does seem like more than 2 inches in drop..It rides excellent, just what I wanted, a nice blend of comfort and performance.

Oh yeah if you are going to take off the plate, do it NOW!!!!! Mine put at thin wear line in the paint after being on for barely a day, although it would be a lot less noticeable on your color. .
