alright guys, so i got it dialled in, possibly going to try a tad lower in the rear but i think i will rub. everything that i can roll/pull/cut has been done.

specs one more time....18x8 +30 fronts and 18x9 +25 rears, no camber kit. did a pre-wax, still needs a wax and clay bar and she done.

also, im no pro photographer, take it easy on me lol

Very nice man, what coilovers did you use?

cdn_rider

Function and form type 1. I'm pretty sure I have a seized rear, have to adjust it with a pipe wrench lol wonder if there is some sort of warranty? I don't think I've had them for a year yet...

there has been a few 99-01 that have done those rims, one i think had the blaze kit, more open rims would look better, the center is too close up clean but could be cleaner

You can fit 9.5 rear at +38 at an a lot lower height, I did it.

cdn_rider

ya the problem with being lower is where i live. in canada and especially where i live the roads are garbage and full of pot holes so i cant go too low.

cdn_rider

also, im not sure i want a lip kit anymore to be honest, maybe just a front lip? so, to mudflap, or not to mudflap, that is the question...

Looks great, very classy. Lips on these cars is all or nothing IMO.

Now paint those mufflers! lol

cdn_rider

Man, I knew I'd hear about the mufflers god damn it! Haha I know I need to do something on them...I wonder if plastidip is good for high heat, anyone know that?

I had a can of undercoat laying around, got the job done, lol.

If I were you, I would keep the rear mudflaps on, and take the front ones off.

cdn_rider

^^i dont have rear mudflaps, only the fronts...

lipless looks nice.. just get visors


call it a day.

^ I say go lower, and definitely go lower with tire sizes. Im pretty sure Canada's roads arent worst than NY road's. You can do definitely do it, but you just gotta drive extra slow if your willing too.

westhaventl

Car looks good! I like the lipless look as well.

all you need is a lip kit and 02-03 tails and THEN you're done

but it looks awesome man

02type-s

go to advanced suto parts, or whatever near you and pick up a can of high temp paint, its usually like $6 and there is a wide variety of colors...i say chevy orange would look good

cdn_rider

^lol chevy orange? not a chance on my car man, do it on yours first lol 02-type-s is right, im going to look for high heat paint, probably silver though.

after that it will look perfect.

at your height, you won't be scraping anything and if you do, it's barely anything. you got a nice set of rims, just gotta make them look nice by lowering it some more. you're not even tucking any tire. complete that VIP look if that's what you were looking for.

hey.. we all complain about our bad roads. but like always.. you gotta pay to play.

but then again.. if that was me, i'd clear those headlights, remove both front and rear mudflaps (having just front or rear mudflaps on is whack), 02-03 tails, visors, and a lipkit.

cdn_rider

like i said, i MIGHT go a little lower, but i have a 3 year old in the back seat and i dont want anything to happen. you guys dont know my roads, they are very uneven and not taken care of, i scrape coming off of my driveway because its so uneven.

^ I was about to post the same thing...LMFAO.

cdn_rider

LOL nice guys! anyways, i might get a double din, amp and sub(stock bose spot) 02-03 tails, clean up the mufflers and little odds and ends, but i think im going to keep it as it is on the outside.

i have another car i want to dump money into and have done and drivable for next year so i want to start on that right away and stop on the TL.

I know I'm alone on this but just never seen what people like about these wheels, I don't know I guess I'm just not a fan.
Still think with this style of wheel you have to go lower, getting there though. Good stuff.

cdn_rider

^^dont worry about it man, its not everyones taste, i get that, but if you have seen all of the cars ive had and done up over the years, you would know that i like to be different than everyone else.

heres another thing about the ride height, the front is fucking low, if i put a lip on it, its going to be stupid, its tucking tire, the rear has barely a finger gap, so its not that its high at all, i really dont think it needs to be lower.

cdn_rider

just a few quick pics so you guys dont think im dead lol enjoy!

Looks like you may have gone a tad lower?

Looks good.

nice! i think I'm at the same height you are. were you ever able to flare out the bumper tab so it would match the fender pull?

i'm gonna get a body shop to do mine because i have to get the bumper painted anyways. but if i could do it myself that would save me some money.

cdn_rider

i didnt actually drop it any further, it was the springs settling that did it. thanks though!

as for the bumper what i did was throw a shim in between the tire and bumper to match the fender and heated the shit out of it, took out the shim and it stayed like that, for the most part.

it kinda moved in a bit again, but still no issues since ive done it. hard turns ill get a slight rub but nothing major, super minor.
