nice pink shirt

KillerG

pink shirts are reserved for the manliest of all dudes ed.

Oh, and gay dudes.

kowloonsniperhk

thanks killer, i recorded this before going to lunch with a gal pal.

KillerG

hey kowloon when you said you kinda sometimes wish you went the a-spec route did you mean just the wheels or did you mean the wheels and the roof spoiler?

kowloonsniperhk

Oh just saying instead of having a wing spoiler, just going for the lip spoiler and roof spoiler.

KillerG

MMmm.. mmm i see.

I really love the lip spoiler too. Wouldve gotten an ebay one but too bad ebay grigio spoilers dont exist for some strange reason -_-

Maybe you could swap trunk lids with someone one day

kowloonsniperhk

yeah, i know my best friend loves my wing spoiler. He said his set up would almost be exactly like mine in PWP, possibly different rims, 6spd and a mugen spoiler lol.

I chose the wing spoiler when I got this car since on my old TSX, I had a lip spoiler on it so at the time I really wanted a wing. Now I want to go back to the classy look. Too bad, it'll be a waste of money if I remove since I have to plug up the holes.

installed these this week. I stripped the self tapping screws that came with it, so had to go buy some. Anyways thanks to killer g for getting these and posting pictures. Love em.

ed_423

looks good, might have to add that to my mod list

defconskylude

i need to get a set of those too. this is the TL set right? what do you guys recommend for a matching dead pedal?

KillerG

aluminum foil with raisins or weathertech mats like me and kowloon have haha.

Sadly theres no proper dead pedal out that i know of. If one comes out ill buy it seperately though :S

Froglet

the grill part is sick.. very clean =)

KillerG

hey broski i attempted the muffler modz but i had a hard ass time getting the bolts off. I thought i was gonna tear out the entire damn things so i stopped :S

KillerG

oh btw, i had a rattle on startup in my car even without touching the muffler. If you have CAI, eurobro, it might be your cai knocking against a metal piece near the lower position of the pipe on startup. I just put a small piece of double sided tape on the area where it was hitting and now no more startup rattle

kowloonsniperhk

yeah it was hard. no rattling

Your car is flawless! I've contemplated doing all those mods possibly my car too because I really wanted to see it murdered out. It's nice to see them done on another car. All tastefully done. How did the plasti dip work out? Didn't like it?

kowloonsniperhk

I wanted to see how murdering it out would look like. So I only did it to one side. after having it on today few weeks, I decided to not go with it and now pursuing for the classy look. this post is being typed from my phone at Formula D right now hehe

magicfan3

Yeah I mean it was a cool thought but after seeing it I like the chrome handles and trim. Like you said the more classy look. As for the tail lights I'm still doing those. Possibly thinking of smoking the headlights a little bit too after I clear the amber out from them. The only thing is I'd be using the vht nightshade and then a clear coat. How are your overlays keeping up? If you don't mind me asking where'd you get them from and for how much? And what's formula d?

KillerG

a gay bar

kowloonsniperhk

i took off my overlays. I had them done by a local tint shop where I work. I had them done for $40. Formula Drift. They were in SoFL the past two days. First time they ever held it here.

What did you have done?!?
You had the overlays removed and then had them retinted?!?! picture please!!!

Hope you're well btw!

kowloonsniperhk

no, i just removed them. i might do red overlays over my rear turn signals. These past weekends down here would've made a great day for a meet lol. How's everything with you?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

No complaints, man...installed some stuff this weekend. Bought a Canon DSLR finally, so want to learn how to use it.

We should get together some time soon.

you know what's ironic, I had those USR clear tails...and I TOTALLY missed the contrast of the red no the black. I think all red or your oem tails probably look best!

kowloonsniperhk

nice which model? T3i? I need to upgrade my camera body. mine is old school circa 2005 lol


Actually one of the reasons why I took my vinyl off. I was looking through old pictures of when I got my car and actually liked the red and black contrast but at the time, wanted to pursue the blacked out look. But seeing it's been overdone way too many times.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Yeah man...trust me, I know what you mean. I keep looking at old photos and I see something that makes me change back. I like it with red tails much better, for sure. Even seeing it in person, I wasn't a fan of the overlay.

About the camera, I'm a beginner so I picked up a 30D from a member on here to start. So far, it takes good shots. We'll see...had an upgraded 18-55 lens with autofocus. Not sure what year it's from though.

kowloonsniperhk

Yeah i still rock the 18-55 without it. I probably just need a new lens but i really hate my Rebel XT microscopic lcd screen

ha ha...gotcha...I actually get annoyed that mine doesn't swap the picture automatically from landscape to portrait when I flip the camera!

kowloonsniperhk

A tiny update. I just bought the iJDMtoy LED DRL. install took 10mins. Love the white over the yellow. Replaced my Cobra with an Escort Passport 8500. I also have the red Lamin-x tail light overlays in the mail coming in this week. Going to get rid of the white part of the turn signals.

Cell phone picture

ed_423

looks nice man. had those, but decided it doesnt really show much in the day time, so sold it haha.

kowloonsniperhk

Yeah, I just wanted to get rid of the yellow. Biggest thing that bothered me.

loner

How did the LED DRLs affect your high beam output?

HondoGermany

What type of bulbs you guys in the US have in the DRL, seems much brighter than mine. I have T10 5W in this.

live2hit01

Post pics of the lamin-x. I was looking into doing the same thing. I think the clear turn signal looks like butt.

kowloonsniperhk

The high beams work but the throw is less than the traditional halogen bulbs but I never used my high beams even before having halogen bulbs.

our high beam is 9005

Should be getting in this week. as for the clear turn signals, to each their own. I love em' and so did many others that cleared it after

live2hit01

Lol, I was referring to the rear turn signal, the one you'll be covering with lamin-x

kowloonsniperhk

oh ok. yeah its not that bad but itll look better with the vinyl
