ABP Type-s? or A-Spec (Pics)

what would you perfer Type-s or A-Spec?
*Note on some pics i have my brembos and some not... i just took some pictures before i did the brembo conversion.. it was a pain... dealer did everything and it was about 3G's

Heres Type-s W/O Brembo
(Dont have many pic's with the type-s's and the brembo because next day the dealer had the a-specs for me and it was late by the time i got the car back from the dealer.. cold and dark out so only got rim pics fast










Type-S W/Brembo



now A-spec W/ brembo





*Note* here you can see my new exhaust and removed spoiler for a type-s truck lid spoiler + jet black top.. doubt u can see it tho.

Agreed. Not a fan of the stickers on the door panel.

What's up with the exhaust? Can you post more pics of it?

Also- did you put a sticker on your grill as well?

looks good! i liked it better with the waffles imo. i would get rid of the sticker on the grill and get rid of at least the 2k4 emblem i think the rest of that emblem would be fine.

you should convert to a Type-S front and weld some quads on. =)

Wait, I just reread your post and you paid $3k for the brakes and labor?

You could have gotten a BBK for that amount of money.

I drive a ABP aswell, I love the color cause I've never seen a modded ABP TL here in VA. And I just did the TL-S brembo conversion this past weekend and I paid $850 for all the parts and $120 for labor.

I think its crazy how much you paid the dealer to do that!!!!!
Either way nice ABP!

You paid only 850 for everything (parts)!!!?? i was checking the prices of the parts i need to buy in order to do the conversion and it was almost 1600 for everything. if you could please tell me where you got the parts from, i would really appreciate it.
