I'm curious, how did he get the yellow DRL? Is it vinyl film?

TE37's

One of my favorite wheels. They literally look amazing on everything.. RX7's, STi's, NSX's, etc...
If only they weren't so damned expensive
Looking forward to progress pictures, don't think I've ever seen TE37's on a TL.

I've always wanted to do vents like he did on his! Maybe one day!

BTW, the yellow DRL he baked the lights and sprayed the back of the housing with yellow window tint. Pretty cool stuff, but non reversible like vinyl.

That front lip/side skirt/rear bumper kit looks really good. Especially that rear end.

It's a decent game overall. Wish they had a better selection cars like more Acuras, AMG's, BMWs, Audi's etc..

But they do have the NSX Concept car, and with the Logitech G25/G27 wheel, it's pretty good.

BC coils because racecar.

BC coils and ISC are the only two that retains stock characteristics, because they are a full bodied threaded shock, you can control droop and preload.
Also, BC racing lets me choose the spring rates for front and rear.

A fwd vehicle will be front end happy from the factory.
most aftermarket spring companies keep this under steer bias.
I want the car to be neutral and balanced and will choose a balanced spring rate between the front and rear

mod list:
- thicker rear sway bar
- took maybe about 100lbs out of the car...worthless weights and what not
- light weight wheels!
- aspec springs with koni yellow shocks...damping balanced between front and rear. rear is pretty much full stiff

I suspect the BC coils to lower it a bit while retaining stock characteristics, but at a much stiffer rate that produces a balanced handling car.
Will be fun to whip the car into corners.

the OG's of acurazine would make up an elaborate post under the guise of celebrating a mile stone.

by the end of the whole scheme, you've realized you've been had

I just dont care about my post count, contrary to what Robbp says.
