Hey guys,
It's been a short 4 months since I joined, but I've dropped enough $ to buy a new computer on the TL. I have learned so much it's great~ Thanks to everyone who has helped me out (@cur@-tl, fsttmys, ou sig, hzm, darkdj, to name a few) since day 1, really appreciate it!

Anyway, did a little photoshoot today after washing my baby, enjoy!

Yeah, looks sweet. Stick around the boards and you get bitten by the Mod bug, I swore I would only do wheels when I first got my car, now I have almost every mod available. That kit does wonders evn though its so subtle in design.

The car looks good. I've always thought that HMM was SSM. Oh well.

What's your plan for the car? Time to lower it with TEIN SS.

subtledreamer

thanks ron!

appreciate the comment bro.
still debating on Tein SS or Tein HighTech Springs w/ aftermarket shocks (Illuminas, Yellows, Blues). but see the thing about Tein SS is I would want to get the dampering control (EVDC?) to fully utilize the controls, and that = even more $. also i am dead broke right now and will be for the next few months so no drop in the near future.

ou sig

nice bud, no problem for the help - thats what we are all here for! How do you like those tires? I am due for some new ones, trying to see what I should get.

Go with the tein SS with edfc, its soooo worth it. just wait a bit longer to afford it so you don't look back and regret it. whats a few extra hundred dollars, your gonna spend it anyway, lol. Smooth like a luxury car with the soft settings, and handles like its on rails with the stiff setting.

Jput

nice now go for the tein ss that's my next mod

GoldTL

looks great man!

i absolutely love these tires. while i havent tried others i can honestly tell you they are soo much better than the stock michelin's. tire squeek-gone! grip-totally improved. road noise-slightly lower too.

thanks bud.
btw what happened to your rep? its bloody red!

more votes for the Tein SS eh?
guess i'll really need to work on the side to earn some serious $ for it.

GoldTL

yeh in the black market I commented on an ericsson product a mod was selling and I said that me and a few others have had bad experiences with their products. Now everyone and their mother is giving me red lol.

subtledreamer

oh man, sucks for being too honest eh

GoldTL

lol yeh, oh well no biggy...just a little red.

Your car makes me want to put a body kit on my naples gold, though I doubt it will look nearly as good as yours.

I am worried now that with even a tein luxury drop (1.5"/1", f/b) I would scrape the bottom or sides of my car because of all the potholes here, etc...With a body kit I would definitely scrape.

Car looks great. What kind of camera are you using? The pictures look fantastic!

subtledreamer

Thank you!

The camera im using is the Canon S50. I bought it for the manual controls like aperture, exposure, etc., and of course superior image quality.
I used a tripod for all but the last shot (which took my shakey hands 4 times to get it right)

ride is looking hot, i got heather mist also how much did u pay for the kit/painted? and where ya get it? im looking to get one by the end of november early dec

subtledreamer

*adds carputer to my ever-increasing wishlist*

Thanks bro.

Got my kit painted and shipped from Tim at Ray Laks Acura in NY (1-888-RAY-LAKS) for $829. I've referred a couple of forum members to get their kits from him but heard that he's running out of stock because Acura had stopped producing it over a year ago. In fact, the kit is increasingly hard to find everywhere else, but I guess it doesn't hurt to give him a call and see. Good luck in your search!
