This weekend I made a trip down to College Station, Tx and I decided to take as many back roads/farm to market roads as I could on this 3.5 hour journey. I always take the interstate, which is really flat and straight the entire way which is boring. On my way back today I took my time and stopped to enjoy some of the countryside and took a few pictures.They were taken with my phone and edited a little bit in photoshop with my non existent art/photography skills.

tobwac

holllly thats a lot of bugs lol

ssjoeboe9

Mr. NC

PyroDave

you can tell that from the reflection in the bumper? lmfao

MC MiYoung3269

haxx, but how often do you see an asian person wearing shorts? LOL

opboarding

He's right, I'm not asian. Pretty hard to tell in that picture, maybe it was the hair that gave it away? Maybe he pulled some high tech CSI stuff on it. Enhance!

ed_423

what's wrong with asians?

MC MiYoung3269

LOL
du ma, stupid thing wont let me all caps lol by itself -_-

opboarding

I know there is already a thread for these in the photography sub thread but I wanted to also document these here. You know, because they are awesome.
































And while I'm at it here's one from last weekend in Houston with justnspace and I are LEGEND.

newkidd

hey probably a dumb question but why are your DRL/highbeam blue? is that with it on? or is that the headlight thing that's supposed to be silver but you tinted it? thanks

MC MiYoung3269

It's the bulb. No reflector in there. It's still a Halogen bulb so it still produces a warm color, but with the blue tint on the bulb it produces a more white color.

ed_423

wheres the crabman himself?

Mr. NC

That TL be squinting haaaaard lol.

OPB your car reminds me of the Shield TL's in the avengers movie maybe just cuz everything is blacked out.

So I just spent the last 9 hours installing the coils. I am completely spent. Doing this by yourself and not having the right tools is not the way I should have approached this. I lowered around 1" on front and back, but if they settle any it might be more like 1.1" or something. I didn't have time to install the control arms, maybe next weekend. I finished when it was dark so I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

ed_423

damn bro you did it alone?? good job man haha. no way in hell i could've done it alone without my friend's help.

FYI coils dont really settle too much. i didnt notice much settling for mine

opboarding

As much I hate having to look at other people terrible quality phone pictures, this is all I have, so deal with it. Before and after pictures of coilovers. Didn't have time to put spacers on, but they will be on soon. I am about 1.1" rear and 1.2" front according to my crappy "before" measurements. Could be a little inaccurate but now we'll never know for sure. I am thinking about either going .1"-.2" lower in the front(or raising the rear that much) to give a little more of a rake look. I already scraped my bumper on the steep garage entry at my work today, so lower in the front might be a bad idea. Its really hard to take it at enough of an angle the way the garage
is laid out...

















Got some camber (15mm spacers going on this weekend)




And I found this mischievous little guy while installing the coils...

drivedata

did you scrape the front of the bumper or just the tabs?

opboarding

Theres a light scrape across most of the bottom of the front bumper. You cant see it since its underneath so its not a big deal to me.

ssjoeboe9

100% better bro.The moderate drop looks great! I loved how mine looked when I installed my springs! Can't believe you did the install by yourself. It's the engineer in you.

ed_423

looks awesome, +1 on going lower, ima go lower as well haha

gonzo08452

looks better espcially w/ the painted wheels/grill

opb, how did you do your front license? a small drop really does wonders for the look.

and damn doing the install all by yourself? what? you got no friends??

KillerG

today, in this thread, the obvious was stated

ttk5

Looks great man. And that really does look mischievous

opboarding

Everyone I know doesnt care about cars all that much, especially not enough to want to spend hours helping me mod mine. And the one guy I know who has an actual interest in cars was working all day.

I cut squares that were about 4" wide out of a cheap sheet of aluminum. I drilled a hole in them and put them behind the bottom mesh, then used bolts to attach to the plate frame.



Today: killerg feels like he isnt annoying enough as he is. Decides to use large text.

opboarding

I installed my new 5k HID bulbs this weekend and got a chance to take a picture of my ghetto license plate brackets for you and any others interested. I just reused the threaded clips/nuts on it instead of putting new ones on.

opboarding

Oh and I also installed the J power 3 piece rear control arms this weekend too. I didnt have time to do the front ball joints but I'll put them on in the next week or two. The rear arms feel just like factory did. Car is driving great so far.
