Nice...
I need to do the sway bar as well. Big fan of this car, just sucks you cant ride like that year round, the car is to good looking for it not to stay like that.

Def worth it!! Yea sucks! But I wouldn't be able to get anywhere once the snow starts hitting.. Also gives me a chance to either refinish the rims or go with a diff set for spring

Just polish the headlight clean and your good to go. shouldnt need new ones. or send em to JnC!!!

I say order another set of your rear wheels and put them up front. the 2G TL fronts can take wide wheels quite well.

haha thanks yea already grabbed new heads and fogs.. updated pics are on page 2..

def good to hear though, this was my first stab at going low and stanced with an aggressive wheel setup... didn't wanna go too crazy at first without the experience.. def learned alot though.. and am looking to go more aggressive when spring rolls back around... appreciate the love though !! can't wait to see the work your putting in !

lol nopeee, everytime i think i have a free day to get it done something always pops up... also just grabbed some valve covers I'm getting powder coated so it makes sense to wait on them rather then tear it apart twice!

Looks fantastic man. I agree with every other compliment already stated. Need to vinyl wrap that hood piece of the grill so it's all black and wrap your door trim and handles. Trust me once it's alllll black it'll look even more amazing. I think it's the wheels that really set it off. The stance and size is just perfect. Well done

Because they're not as great as everyone makes them out to be

Not the first ATLP product I've seen rust badly(if that is rust), but I'm pretty sure they guarantee against it though.

not really rusting.. tips jus need a good cleaning.. flanges are a little rough... but I've had them seen the first batch so i think they've held up good for a couple years worth of NY winters (salt, snow, ice, etc.)

hehe, some tinkering, mostly legwork.. just sent a spare set of runners out to get ported, and trying to find a good powdercoater in my area to do valve covers/intake/strut brace/... so thats whats holding up my manifold install

gotta get back into winter mode this weekend, so stockies and raising/alignment.. snow will be here sooner or later
