4DR-I still can't bring myself to get that Type S Aspec Kit. It's too bulky in the front for me....what I'd really like to do is get a Base TL Aspec Lip.
1 - Just like swoosh said...do the base A-Spec in front and Type-S sides and rear
2 - Or first just do base A-Spec in front, keep the splash guards first. You'll think about Type-S side and rear later on.
If you do #2. I will order 06 front A-Spec tomorrow and use it with splash guards
Here is the rear... I just need a push about the front A-Spec

Guys, it's almost been one week since we changed the pads. I wiped them down tonight for the first time. There was no more dust on the fronts than on the rear pads!!!!
And minimal difference in the braking power of the pads as well....Lovin' it !!! If I had OEM pads, I would have wiped them down at least 3 times by now....
The spacers came in today. I'll hopefully get them on this weekend.

Where you guys get your brake pads from? I got some from oreillys and the dust just as much as oem pads. I was thinking about changing them to some dura last cmax gold but if your pads are cheaper then I'll go with them.
I like the side badge but only on a Type-S, because what brands do is take their best car and put a side badge about the specs up there..
Like Audi, puts S-Line or V10 blah blah
Or BWM... puts 3.0
and since Type-S is the last step on 3G...sound reasonable... and looks good
Actually not only Type-S...
04-06 A-Specs could put the A-Spec badge to that location.. hmmm

Love the new tails. Question about them. The bottom part where you put the CF insert - did that section of the light previously serve a purpose? Was it a blinking section?
Car looks clean Steve!
Ghost tails w/ CF inserts FTW! Those are sick. Looking forward to seeing your car up close at the Nat'l Meet for sure! I am getting the Type S sidemarkers in next week, I think they'll flow well with my Anthracite exterior & CF spoiler...

Thanks MINO. Spacers go on tomorrow! I got Akata spacers. SilverSVT gave me the link for them on eBay.
Thanks brother! I'm glad you're coming to the meet. I'm anxious to see your markers.

Spacers Now Installed.
A big thanks to SilverSVT. I went over to his house to install the Akata Spacers today. He has the proper tools for the job.
Without Spacers...


With Spacers (15mm on the front and 20mm on the back). I'm still amazed at how the little things make a big difference in the looks of this car.






NOW...I'm really done! Eric and I actually contemplated a Carbon Fiber roof and roof spoiler job......damn it.

Thanks Tyler. Yea, I need to get OFF this roll !!!! But I really do like the look of the spacers. It was kind of like the Sports Springs. Little things make a HUGE difference.
I tell you what guys, I'm VERY happy with the look of the car right now. I honestly feel like it looks "complete". With the spacers and the red calipers and lugs, it has a finished look that can't be beat.

Looks good Steve. Sorry I couldn't come to help, had to work. I'm gonna be ordering these tonight when I get home.
I really hope you are done Steve, your sig will take up a whole page soon

Holy shit Swoosh, you need to slow-up on the working out. Those lug nuts were on there TIGHT! I felt like I was standing on my Torque wrench to get them off! I am glad I broke them loose before I jacked up the car, otherwise it'd had to have come back down.
Now, about those overall shots with everything in place. We need them!

Glad I could help, MINO! I couldn't believe the difference myself. And maybe it's in my mind, but the Type S seems to drive "better" too.

That would be fine with me. I have a hockey game to play at 5:30, so any time before that would be great-rolling shots!
