Proud + New owner of a 2007 WDP TL-S

Hello fellow members. Registered for a new account due to the fact that my old one was linked to my facebook which I am proud to say that I quit.

On 2/7/12, I took delivery of a 2007 WDP TL-S AT with 42,100 on the clock.
Bought her for a great price, including the following mods..

A-spec chrome rims (peeling )
A-spec front, rear, skirts
Black Painted roof
Tein Basics lowered 1.5" (planning on raising .5" due to the fact my damn driveway is a slope)
Cleared headlights

The car came with a few cosmetic flaws. But the one thing that concerned me was the A-spec bodykit. It seems as if the previous owner painted the edges of the kit with the bumper and rear. I wouldn't complain if it was a nice job, but there are some signs of cracks here and there. Will post pics when I can. Is this common?

I have many plans for the car and was wondering if anyone who are located in the tri-state area would want to swap suspensions? I am willing to throw down some cash along with it. The main reason being is that the Tein Basics cannot be tuned unless revalved by Tein.

OTHER than that, without further ado...

Congrats! Welcome to Azine! Did the previous owner mold the A-Spec kit to the bumper? Like no crack where the lip kit meets the bumper? This is not normal, but if done correctly would look great. Nice low miles, And it's WDP!

+1. If the ASPEC kit was molded I wonder if the car used to belong to Xsclusiv (sp?)?

Thank you! Im from Northern Bergen County. I've seen the NY/NJ threads and planning on going to the Menlo meets sometime next week. Its about an hour drive for me though.. but hopefully once i pick up my valentine one, i will get there in no time!

As for mods, gna go for cosmetic mods first.
-HID fogs, blacking out grill, blacking out rear emblem, some new shoes (I've been displeased about the chrome aspecs.. possibly going on budget with 18" xxr 527s or 530s), white out taillights similar deathmetal's (PIC HERE!) hope he will be okay for using his pic, bc his ride and the pic is HOT.

Will post a full future plan later!

I am guessing the previous owner has molded the kit. Not so great job though :thumbsdow
