My first TL-S photo shoot

Did a full tune up today on my TL-S..washed,clayed and polished my baby..fixed the gap between the driver side fender and bumpers which was sagging ...seems the tab on my bumper that holds up with 1 screw got ripped off..adjusted my coilover to fully slammed spec just for this photo shoot and since i havent yet posted a picture of my ride on this forum. heres just my plain slammed TL-S..

808 is back at it again. sorry it just seems that all you guys are achieving VIP status lol.

very nice ride and i love the slammed look. how is it driving it that slammed though. i'd be scared to hit bumps and driveways.

any other mods other than suspension? i'd invest in an intake next - but it's all up to you. lookin good so far.

i don't know which is more amazing...how clean the engine bay is, or how low your car is.

What coilovers do you have? I've got an '03 Type-s and it would be amazing to be able to bring it that low

Now that is slammed! I wouldn't keep it that low though, unless you live in the flattest part of the country with the best roads.

Agreed WDP looks nice but one thing I hate to see is people on the road and they have nice cars but b/c they slam it so much they have to drive 30 mph to avoid any potholes in the road. Just be care when your driving fast, extreme drop may F up your suspension.

overall nice whip though.

What coilovers do you have? I've got an '03 Type-s and it would be amazing to be able to bring it that low
back then I use to work for a detail shop so it grew on me to keep my engine bay clean as possible...

You can get the same effect w/ replacement springs from Tein specifically for the SS', correct?

Ive done that before with my other cars, but you will have to get the correct spring rate on your specified vehicle or the ride will suck...

Screw= sorry to put it more clear ...one of the perce that hold up the coil...i removed the bottom one...I suggest you do not do this only if you don want to risk damaging your suspension...but from my experiences...its been all but good for me so far...

anythings possible...I drive it slammed and no bumps or pothole can stop me BTW the roads here in hawaii are near perfect now that the state and county made it a priority to fixed and repair all potholes a.s.a.p....to much complaints and claims on damage rims here...I damaged 3 different rims in the past and made a claim...got free replacements with tires....

the factory jack barley can fit under the car...I just tell someone to lift up the car buy the fender just a bit so i can fit the jack underneth...if worse comes to worse...rolling over 2x4 ply wood will do the trick..
