its a start...

alright guys, finally had a chance to do a few things to the TL. so far i have an ipod deck, headrest dvd players, debadge of 3.2TL, the wheels and the F2 type ones will be here next week. on to the pics, sorry theyre from my BB.

as she sat yesterday...


was able to use my "A" center caps...

the tires are tall as shit, but whatever, i got the package for 600 bucks.



dvd headrests

alpine ipod deck


if you were going to ask about the spoiler, i didnt do it, this was my father in laws car since 03, he since put a 1999 olds alero spoiler on it. it actually doesnt look toooo bad lol also, for anyone that is nice enought to photoshop this witha nice drop for me, that would be great! see what im looking forward to next week!

ummmm....just got these rims, not gonna get tsx rims. these are the 8 gen accord wheels made by enkei. 18x8 +55. i wonder when i put the coilovers on, would i need to roll the rears? they look pretty close if i was to put it down 3 inches or so.

ya i know. until i can either get a new trunk or fill the holes and paint it, im gonna leave it. anyways so the tires are 235/45r18, pretty tall im just wondering when the F2s get here how do i know without a huge amount of trial and error, where to set them at for some tucking action?

sorry ive had airbags before but never coilovers so im not savvy with them yet.

thanks man. ya im eagerly anticipating the coilovers definitely. as far as the tires, i planned on maybe getting different tires, dont know what size to get. i know itll mess with the speedo, these tires are bang on, i tested the speedo last night so it kind of sucks i may need to get rid of them for max drop. what size tires should i run on these type of wheels?

closest to stock tires, that wont throw your speedo off, is 235-40-18....when speedo reads 60mph actual speed will be 59.7mph...0.5% slower.... but +55...235 might rub on the inside...but when you space them out, they might rub the outside

My suggestion would be for you to get some 225-40-18's...when speedo reads 60mph actual speed will be 59mph...1.7% slower.... WITH SOME 10-15mm SPACERS... and you wont have any rubbing on the inside or outside with tabs cut and fenders rolled

Not sure how you tested the speedo with those tires...235-45-18 will make it so your speedo reads 60mph but actual speed will be 61.9mph...3.2% faster ....aprox 2 mph too slow

I know its not a lot but I would rather have my speedo say I am doing faster that I actually am rather than slower

ya im thinking about getting rid of them, theyre almost brand new though. i tested it by being behind my buddy on his bike, i might be off by maybe 1 mph maybe less from what i saw.

also i keep hearing about cutting tabs etc, to which tabs are you referring because i have no idea...

Once you drop it and get some better fitting tires, it'll look sick!

225/40 would be a nice fit on those rims.

225-45-18.......When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 61mph (98.2km/h): 1.7% faster. Its all up to you on how you want them to sit.... recommended size would be 225-40-18 to get the proper look
