why didn't you lower the car somemore? in your mods you posted that you have the Teins SS. The Advans look much better, those TSX wheels make the TL look cheap.

Nice rims

Nice rims. Personally, I would go with Chrome Niche rims. Chrome really makes the car look classy.

I'm not a big fan of chrome. I think chrome is for Luxury rides and trucks.

i wanted to but, i like the smooth ride at this height. and most of all i don't want to worry about bumps and pot holes going to do to my car!

i know it will look much better to lower some more, i sort of like the smooth ride

if that is making sense

damn, i love those rims. watch out man, one of these days im going to stalk you down in alhambra and jack those... better have the wheel locks on!

btw, i think lowering your car by another .75" front and .5" rear would look much, much better.

thats the purpose of the tein ss... you can lower the car without sacrificing ride quality... lower it about another inch all around and try it out for a few days.

also, in your sig, it says advan model VI... that would be 6, so its acutally just V. anyways, it looks great! i love those wheels.

yeah.....the TSX rims on our cars look cheap.....

If you don't want that lower much.....why u waste your money and get the Tein SS???.....just buy springs or just leave it stock....since your sound doesn't like lower much.....waste your money man....

but trust me....if u lower more,then it will look more more nice on your cars....and even u had your nice rims too....so u should go for it.....lower it more....

thanks for the kit, i give it to the paint shop for installtion this week,

and the rest of the side skirt and rear lip, will be in around 1 to 2 weeks.

i am going for the WW rear and front lip, TL-S side skirts.

i think it is going to be good, I hope

btw:

i need to know what color you want?

about the shift plate, i need u to do something first before shipping it!, you need

to remove the orginal paint from the shift plates first, Then ship to me.

So, oversea can start painting as soon as they gets it!

any questions, Call me !!



the shop charge me about $ 150.

and the rest for $400.00
is that a good deal??

I'm sure it's gonna be phat once you have everything up.
Thanks for letting me know, I guess it was my luck that My gf forgot to ship it our before the weekend. I'll have the paint stripped as soon as possible. I'd like it just regular metallic chrome on it. I guess the price you got to paint them sounds about right for just the front... But as a whole, it should have costed about 450-500 instead of 150+400.... However, if the material and job is good enough, then I guess it is okay. Remember to post a pic up once you have it installed!
My ASPECs are due to arrive this Wednesday and I'll have mine pix up as soon as I have them installed.
