2005 Anthracite TL (Tein/Axis/Aspec)

Well...last time i posted i only had yellow fogs and not so good looking RH EVO 2..
Saved up...and did these:

1.) Cleared the Headlights
2.) Installed Tein H-techs
3.) Intalled Axis Pentas 19x8.5 with Vredestein ultra C summer tires
4.) Magnaflow Mufflers (soon to change to tanabe)
5.) Custom 4" Warm Air Intake
6.) K&N 4" Filter
7.) Aspec Rear trunk Lip
8.) Painted the lower Aspec Rear Lip Black

Here are the pics:

god damn hommie, your car is awesome, I was going to comment on your rims when I first took a peep, they definitely flow with the lines of the car, so remind me of my old gsr rims

AWESOME KID

Wow, definitely a headturner, cant wait for those Tanabe's, you probably already got the second one today

Those HTechs look real good with the pentas

Oh and keep me updated on that tanabe exhaust!

Thanks For the comments/compliments everyone

As for the fog light set up...

I am running Nokya Stage 2 100w Bulbs, you can find this on Ebay or most auto stores, i bought mine at AutoBacs which is a big Japanese Auto Store.

I am also running the D.R.L Kit that was posted in the 3G garage (I LOVE ACURAZINE!!!! )
link: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...aytime+running
The DRL kit dims the fogs to 20% output (or was it dims it 20%) so it's not as powerful as it is when the fog switch is turned on. I have been running this set up for more than 4 months, bulbs holding strong and headlight lense not burned.

I will also get daytime pics as soon as my Tanabe Hypers are installed

The car looks really nice (especially the color, of course). I have to admit, though, that I prefer the look of the stock exhaust tips over the large "cannon" looking things.

x2..... the big exaust tip and cans just don't look right....IMO

But the car looks beautiful ....ESPECIALLY the color.....but I might be a little bias...haha...

Please post some day time pics, I would like to see what the rear A-Spec lip looks like....

Lol, well i just experimented with it, the AEM was only 3" so i tried to see how 4" would be, it had a bit more kick, but it may just be psycological since its 2x louder than the AEM :-o

The Htechs rides just like stock....same feel, same roll, just looks hotter
