Thumbs up 07 KBP TLS now with A Spec

Well, I put on the A spec Suspension and Body Kit this weekend. I think it makes a huge difference in the way the car looks---much more agressive. I have the wheels in the garage right now, but will have to wait until after tax time so I can get tires.

Let me know what you guys think....

Thanks for the compliments.

tclavell,

Yes it is. Its done with 50% tint--extremely light, but it cuts out the glare of the sun and I dont have to wear sunglasses any more.

I really like the tint idea on the front windsheild, but with 5% all around, isn't it a nightmare to see out of the windows

princelybug,

Thanks. I have the 08 Ebony A Spec wheels to put on it to complete the package. I decided to go all factory this time around.

tclavell,

It can definately be challenging when it rains and there are no street lights, but I have had 5% on all of my cars since I was 16 and am kind of amuned to it at this point.

Nice looking car

and I agree, you really have to get used to the tint, I used to have 5% all around and it was a PITA until a couple weeks when I got used to it. After that, non tinted cars seemed too easy haha

you should tint the clear plastic on your sideview mirrors to complete the look. I think it would look HOT

Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback....

chris80i,

I got Body Kit, Suspension and Wheels for $2600. The ride compared to the TLS setup is just a little bit firmer, but not harsh by any means. I really like the way it rides now, and the fact that it is lower, makes it all the better.

rivera156,

I live in Lakeland...but it is a Lennar home.

dr_brains510,

Thanks! Actually the covers were from a different vendor...Rockblocker. I have had them on the car since the day I brought it home--over a year.

chris80i,

Yes, I have the new Ebony colored wheels. They are a little lighter in color than the factory TLS wheels.

Thanks again everyone for the compliments. I really like this car a lot. I also put in the Outlaw Engineering spacers and the car pulls like a freight train now.

psheu,

as2222,

Yes, it comes with sideskirts. The photos dont really show well, but there is definately a difference between them.

Looking good.
The A-Spec front and rear go over the exisiting TL-S bumpers.
Do they fit flush to the existing bumpers or will dirt etc.. get in between the A-Spec and stock.?

korrupted,

They sit pretty flush. There is a small rubber gasket at the top of the kit that looks like it will keep dirt out of there.

What is the tint law in Florida? I thought it was illegal to have the front tinted.
