Thanks! Means a lot, especially since I'm still on my stockies/winters . I was with my buddy at Santouka ramen grabbing a bite to eat.

Sigh, just as I was about to put on my summers, I've been told we're about to experience a polar vortex, bringing temps back down to -8C or so

Just take the dive and pay the $170 for the Tritons, that way you know they are new, the harness has not been messed with, and you have support if anything goes wrong with them.

Hm last I checked the V3 Tritons were on back order..... but still, $170 USD? Kinda steep for LEDs no? I guess they are the best switchbacks. I sense a gotta-pay-to-play reply coming...

I also put them off ever since I knew about the bixenons... but let's face it, those things cost an arm and a leg.

Yeah it's steep.. That's why I never bought them lol along with the fact that I already wired mine with the resistors, and didn't wanna go through the hassle of taking the bumper off again..

My bumper has a good 10mm gap to the headlights now because of how many times I hve taken that stupid thing off lol

lol Ohio is weird, 25 is my county number, they provide it for both front and rear plates, but only 1 sticker for registration

I know it's weird... Also my CTE rear license frame on my tsx has the cut-outs for registration up top instead of the bottom, so you can only see half of the sticker.. Im sure I will get yelled at for that eventually..

Current mods:
  • TEIN Street Basis
  • 18x9.5 +45 VMR V710 on 235/40/18 Hankook Ventus V12
  • LED license plate lights

I had a few complications along the way... the shop that did the redrilling screwed up the rebore on one of my wheels... so I had to use 3x 66.6 ->
64.1mm rings and one 74.1 -> 64.1mm ring. Had to buy 2 damn sets of hub rings . Anyway... I won't name any names, definitely was frustrating to say the least, having my wheels and tires in storage while I wait for damn rings to arrive. But in the mean time, I ordered my TEIN Street Basis .

I (tried to) installed the TEIN Street Basis myself, with the help of my awesome girlfriend hahah. It was taking way too long though, so my dad and eventually even my brother started helping me out. I actually needed all the help I could get with the rears... the stock shocks were so difficult to take out... but we eventually did it. The whole process took like 7 hours in total LOL.


Future mods:
  • 30% FormulaOne Pinnacle tint all around
  • Plastidip fog covers
  • Smoke vinyl the chrome trim and rear chrome bar
  • Spacers for the rears (dunno what size!)
  • OEM RL BBK??! (dunno what colour would look nice when refinished though)

I'm a total noob, so I don't have many photos that show progress of my car. So, I'll just start with photos of her as she is right now.

Front (not a very good picture )


Rear


Fender pics for VR1

Front driver side


Rear driver side (beadssss)


I know I need spacers for my rears... but I don't wanna roll my fenders either . Yeah I'm soft.... shh. Any recommendations for spacer size?

Special thanks to MC MiYoung for the China license plate LEDs , chris_cu2 for showcasing these wheels on his BWP with these specs, saucy for his awesome TEIN SS DIY which I used for installing my TEIN Street Basis, and to robpp for suspension torque specs

I'd also like to thank all the 2G guys on this forum for inspiring me on what to do (and what not to do hahah) with my ride. I was a little skeptical of my new ride at first... but this forum has really gotten me to love the look and feel of my ride.

Feel free to comment/criticize/etc. Thanks for looking! And sorry for so few pics check out my IG for a couple more haha

what diy mods did you do to the Tein basics ??
