IMHO I like the stance of the one on the left more :P. Maybe 0.1-0.15 inches lower then that is what I'm aiming for.
But I'm not into the whole "Hellaflush" or "Camber Gang" thing.
Function > Form for me.
If the slammed one is bagged then that would be pretty sick. Couldn't drive like that static tho lol. I still scrape on stock height sometimes.

Some of the streets in some parts of houston are Hella-Steep.. Like a wrangler would probably scrape on that shit.. I also barely make it over the curbs they put in front of parking spaces a lot.
You cleared the headlights? I want to but it looks hella scary.. Parents would be like dafuk you baking the headlights for.

And yeah it depends whether it's worth it or not... I ended up not going to those 2 schools that were 60-70k, but i don't really like where i went instead so i may end up transferring lol.

And so if i take off the wind defector is it going to have more wind noise or something?

The fuck. I park like a foot away from those curbs if I go head in lol. Closer if I back dat ass up since I have cam.
I used a heatgun for clearing. I don't fuck with the oven shit, I wanna control where the heat is going lol. And iCrap, I wanna wait till I have $80 to blow on some Triton's before I actually do mine
As for the deflector, I have no idea. I just know it's there to direct the wind. No idea what's gonna happen if you take it off.

Is he 95% sure he will get into 2 of the 4 if they are mutually exclusive? Or 95% sure that if he gets into 1 of those other 4 schools then the 2nd school will only have a 5% chance of denying him entrance.
If 2 of the schools have already denied him, will his chances decrease of getting in the next 2 schools?

I Spit On You.
Looking to buy a nice car for $3500 or below as my first car. Found this, seems pretty good and it's an E-Class so it's reliable, only problem is that rust but I think I would get that fixed. I'd get a Pre purchase inspection ofc. This thing is a V8 275 HP, 295lbs of torque yet it gets 18 in the city and 25 highway premium gas... That's pretty amazing and I'm excited.

I knew how aweful it was when everyone was taking it freshman year, so I waited until my 5th year to take it and they offered an online course.... and to top it off there were only 3 tests total and the first two were take home and work with a partner lmfao. I went into the final with a 98% and failed the shit out of it in 10 minutes and walked out of the room, graduated and made a B+ in the course. It was honestly the most gratifying feeling to not give a shit about the final!

I was going to get the Goodyear ones from Costco since it's dirt cheap, but if there were some that were better performance wise and cost a little more (less than 20) I wouldn't mind going that route.
10-10-2014, 02:06 PM
i always buy wipers from autozone.
the rainx or bosh icons.
cant go wrong with oem either.

Drove a V6 TLX for about an hour today. I've come to the conclusion that I don't like it.

How does it compare to the TSX?
After seeing a few in person, it definitely looks pretty meh. Only way it looks good is with the aero kit and premium wheels but then it's too expensive for it's own good.
Acura needs to step up their game.. They have nothing enticing right now other then the new NSX whenever that comes out.

The dealer demo was a Black V6 Tech FWD with the premium 19" wheels and the aero kit. Looked great, the only problem was with those options is that it's $45k.. I'm not sure if that includes the dealer installation for the aero kit either. SHAWD is like 46-47k with the aero kit and wheels. Foglights are another $500. I can buy a BMW 335i M Sport with some options for $50-51k and have tuned to 370 hp/392 tq for $2k (with a warranty matching the rest of the length of the car's warranty). I could dump $4k into the TLX and reach maybe 320-340bhp. I could dump 4k into a 335i or S4 and get 400bhp+. Acura needs to come out with a Type S TLX.
