Cool All fixed up!!!

This is the finished product guys... A lot of money went into this and a LOT of trouble. It may not be your kind of taste but its a look that I was going for with the car color and the tools of the trade that I had for cosmetic mods....

TL S-Type Tails


American Racing Phantom 20's


5% Limo LLumar Tint wrapped all the way around


Custom JnC headlights V2 blacked out With Carbon Fiber in-lays


Angel Eyes V2 Orion Halo's (fixed)


ZKW-r lens with phillips 85122+ and LED Switchbacks


Color Keyed grill and fog housing with 5000k fogs


Thats it boys.... I hope you like it. I sure do.

^^Thanks man & thats ok if you are'nt feeling the rims. I took a looooooooong time on my selection and these were the closest thing I could find that were what I wanted.

^^ I agree. And looking back I would've gone with the 19's. It raised my ride height by .67 inches higher, But I got an UNBELIEVABLE deal on the ones I got. BUT... it's done.. Thanks bro!!

The first shot is very cool-the wheels are an interesting choice...I could get used to them. Headlights and tails are spot-on.

^^Yeah.... I looked & looked at rims... These were the most affordable rims that were as close to "WOW" that I coulg get, without spending $2k just on rims. They had to grow on me too. Nevertheless. Thanks

^^ I've thought looooooong and hard about the A-spec. I just dont like it... I've looked for other kits but havent found that one that "wow'd" me. If you see something bad ass, lemme know! Thanks!

Actually, <cough>, I was one of the biggest vocal opponents of the A-spec package when I first started with my car. I had to pull my foot out of my mouth when I took the plunge and purchased it.

Just thought I'd poke a little fun at myself.

^^ lol easy there man I dont HATE it. There's just something about the front lip/ bumper piece that doesnt wow me thats all. It doesnt give the aero "pop" that I was wanting. Maybe I just need to see one up close. But as for now, it not my favorite.

I'll hunt down the pic of the one I saw a few months ago on the net & you can see what I'm going after.

Jp,

I did some hunting and found the one I like. It's ronjon kit.



If I'm not mistaken, the cars in the middle and left are A-Spec? If so, Yeah I'm not fond of that look. I like the ronjon as a whole. I may just have to get it now that I see it.



yeah.... I like the RJ kit. It seems that there are only really 3 choices out there. K-1, The A-Spec, and RonJon. If there are any others out there I'm all ears (or eyes). I'd like to know if there are any others.

Thanks.. I wanna drop it but I'm a little hesitant. I need to get a handle on the brakes but cant get any straight answers in the thread I started. I'll look into the drop by the end of summer...

yah too high with the 20's!! need to tuck them and it will look awesome! I also agree about the 19" wheel vs 20".. the style of wheel you chose will still look big in 19", but you would get better ride quality.. oh yah.. and get the matching rear type s markers!!

Well yeah I do agree I should/ve gone witht the 19's lol but whats done is done so to speak.

I'll have to chalk that one up to expierence. Also the deal I got on those rims weren't good on the 19's. I would've paid another $400 so F it... lol

As far as the s-type rear markers, thats next on my list. then brakes....

Also If it's any consolation; I've asked one of the MX guys at the stealership to see if there is any way to adjust the car lower. If there is he's gonna do it. Idk.... we will see tommorrow...

Btw its still under warranty... Thats why I took it to stealership...

PEACE

Lol... This is a very Sore subject. I posted a Thread in the 3G forum titled 'Buyer Beware" you should read it.

Light emission is 100% IF there is any obstruction in my lights from the rings, I cant tell...

And Thanks the RJ Kit Will be my choice.

What was so much trouble to do? It looks like you just tinted it, swapped the wheels, tail lights and headlights. Seems like a simple swap to me. Looks ok but the rims kill it.
