03 wdp tl-s

Got my new shoes.

Lowered on "Falken" Springs from eBay
stock struts.
AEM CAI
Custom cat-back exhaust
3G wheels painted black.

I am also looking for suggestions on what to do with my center caps and lugs, IM thinking blacking out the caps and color match the A emblem WDP. Thoughts?

Also, my headlights are both crystal clear the sun just hit the passenger side at a funny angle

eBay link - Those are the exact springs I have. Ride is good, not great. My stock struts were still in very good shape so It's not bouncy at all, just not as stiff as I'd like. After settling the drop ended up being about 2.25" front and back

Removed stock resonator and replaced with AERO AR25 Resonator
Removed Mid Muffler
REmoved OEM exhaust and replaced with Magnaflow "Racing" Mufflers which are straight through.

Slight droning from 1800-2200k, nothing I nor my GF can't deal with.

Pay attention after the camera lifts up a bit, exhaust at first was blowing straight into mic

I love how your car looks but I think that if you blacked out the headlights and tinted the front windows you would be straight.

Yes blacking out the headlights makes the WDP TL stand out beautifully.

I see you are in Elk Grove, I go out there a few times a week during the day for work, and usually hit up the 24 hour fitness off Calvine while I'm in EG.
