I'll take more tonight once I wash it.

They are Privat NETZ 19x9.5 in the rear, I believe it is a 4 inch lip, and 19x8.5 in the front. It has the TEIN SS with EDFC, and I will inquire what drop they put on the suspension this evening, I kind of leave it in their hands about how low to go.

I think you should get some tint on every window but the drivers one so everyone can still see that girl!


other than that your car is dope! Nice wheels and nice drop.

Looks good!! Get the Aspec Kit, sure you may scrape here and there but no one will ever see it and soon you'll get the hang of driving a lowered car.

It looks sick dropped as it is. Has the suspension settled in yet? If not the car will be even lower. It would look even nicer if there was an A-Spec kit on it but man that thing is slammed.

lol...I've had lowered vehicles for 8 years now :wink: I even lowered my MDX just before getting the TL..I'm use to driving like an ole lady around curbs and potholes in Atlanta

[IMG][/IMG]

I'll be sure to get "pics" this weekend, We are headed up to Knoxville for a big car show, Just to hang out...

Oh just picked up the car..an hour ago...THE RIDE IS GREAT...I thought it would be rough like suspension kits in the past, I was mistaken...It rides just like stock...maybe a lil less but I was pleasantly surprised...

ummm no! i'm the one that sent you pics of the wheels before you bought yours..

I will call the Acura Dealer tomorrow to see what's up with the A-spec kit...Thanks for the info peeps...lol

I have decided not to tint the windows...It looks sooooo clean without it. I am in love with the interior..

Any takers on the mudflaps...lol...Yeah those are coming off tomorrow, didn't have time to do it today...will get some elbow grease into getting those off...

Thanks for all the compliments...

Plans before the NOPI nationals

1) a-spec kit
2) conservative system...I have a 12 and amp now, just need something more custom..

I have had the wheels so long in storage I honestly forgot I will check and see what offset they were If my memory serves me correctly I believe 40mm, but I will double check, The rear tire is 265/30/19

Make sure you sign up in the NOPI Nationals - Atlanta thread in the Meets forum to meet up at a central location and roll down there with other AZ members. Location is still TBD.

BTW, congrats on deciding to get the A-Spec body kit. I FINALLY got my rims and tires on today and it's making me love my car more and more after I've already installed the A-Spec body kit and suspension!

I need to coordinate with everone to get a spot for everyone to park together, my husband works for NOPI ( Event Coordinator) basically heads up the Nopi Nationals...so it anyone has a particular area they would like to park, please let me know ASAP, and need a head count as well...Possibly go ahead a pre-register so we will know for sure how large of a space to reserve.

That was the whole reason to meet up at a central location to roll down together so that we could all park together. LOL So, if you could hook us up, please post in that thread so that everyone that had planned on doing so will know as well. Thanks!

Yeah I just saw where NOPIMAN aka Player posted on the other thread, I will get with him this week or next week to discuss possibly having a "booth" persay for the ACURAZINE members....kind of like what ImportAtlanta.com does...It would be cool to park all together..I will try to work that out..:-) I will post the same in the other thread as well...

Unfortunately just because you roll in together doesn't mean you will park together unless you have that pre-arranged...I will work on that...:-)

No!! I hate you! This was the exact same setup I wanted to go for with the Netz!! At least now I know it will work. They look extremely hot. You really need an a-spec kit, and maybe even a very, very light tint such as 50% all around to give you a classy look. Even though the tint may not be very extreme, it will give a LIGHT smoked look which IMO would compliment your wheel's smoked finish very well, and it will still let other see the interior of the TL!
