I took a couple pics today, it was raining, but I haven't posted pics of how the car currently sits

I had a roll of yellow tint that I bought a while back and never used, how does it look?






And I painted the stock wheels the other day, I haven't got around to putting them on yet, but I will probably tomorrow; then I will take more pictures. They are a little curbed up, but I think they look better painted

 

nice truck

 

lower the car and it'll look sickk, i like your stockies more than your aftermarket ones.

 

The famous phrase "drop that thing!"

 

4X4

 

not bad. I think if you dropped it a couple inches or so in the front and a little bit less in the back, it would set it off. The yellow.... ehh its okay. Not bad, but not great.

 

throw some 3K in your fogs and watch how sick the light output looks, blackhousing headlights is a must. Most important slam that bitch, you could rock the kitless look or kit look either way you would be shittin. Just bring that bitch down to the ground

 

...oh but who am i to laugh i have a truck too...

 

Thanks!

I knew I would be told to lower the car, but I am not going to. It is my dd and I have had too many lowered cars that I daily drove and I don't like it at all! I have tein s-tech's with tokico Illumina's on it, and it rides decent, but if I drive that for a few days, then get the TL it sits and rides like I would like a dd to, I don't want to change that!

I got them cheap, but I am thinking about swapping the wheels between the TL and my Mr2; that has 17" Konig Imagine




Can anyone photoshop and swap the wheels on the cars?

 

Same bolt pattern?

 

time for the fog light mod =D and other mods too haha...

 

aftermarket 17's dont look good on the TL... stock type S's look good for OEMs... but you gotta go with 18+ for aftermarket...

 

Yes, I'm not sure if the offset is correct though, the 17's on my TL are slighty too wide for stock(I bought them from someone on here because he lowered his TL after he bought the wheels and they rubbed) and the Mr2 does not have a lot of room in the wheel well! I would like more tire on my Mr2 becuase the power it makes, and the aftermarket 17's on the TL are 8" wide, so I would be able to squeeze 255's on it if the offset it right!

Fog light mod?

What other mods do you think? I want to paint the headlight housings black, and get a lip kit, that's the only thing I want to do; other than 6spd, if I do that I would do some major performance upgrade because I have access to HIGH quality Honda work for next to nothing

 

He probably meant to take out the yellow film or something lol.

 

If you don't like the rough ride, try Tein H Techs. It will get rid of your truck stance with a minimal drop, while retaining the ride quality.

 

good start, the type-s wheels will look better then the aftermarkets IMO.

 

you suck for not coming to our meets bro....but nice whip...

 

Thanks! I know I got a PM about the meet, but I forgot to check the days. Are there meets every year, or was that a rare occasion?

 

their always goin on in the summer...as a matter of fact theirs one coming up in November..check out the Regions Section under Chicago..

 

did you have these installed in your past cars??



Tein SS are really close to stock.. they're not harsh at all..

 

^^ I had a civic a few years ago that I lowered 4" with some crappy coilovers that a friend found, I don't know what kind of car they were for, but the car could have went down another 1.5" and it probably would have only been a little worse if i put those on!

 

Put on painted stock wheels and took a few more pictures today

 

whats with the backwards pic?

 

haha, I did that accidently when I was photoshopping out the plates, and I thought it kinda looked cool; so I left it

 

Looks great man but I wouldn't judge the quality of all coilovers based on a bad experience or two. I have Tein Basics on mine lowered a reasonable amount and I can't even tell if the ride is worse than stock. It's pretty much identical, if not better because the struts are newer. I also daily drive my car and it still feels fantastic. Even my Dad said that it felt quite nice to him considering it was lowered. Trust me, a drop is the BEST mod looks wise for our cars and if you can afford to get the setup I have and be happy with it.

Nonetheless, enjoy your TL as much as we do ours. Have fun with the little mods and what not.

 

very clean.. and what i ment by other mods also is a nice drop and lip kit =)

 

kit, drop, debadge, clear headlights = looking good. Looks great though so far
