ok so I installed my new 6000k 10 led drl bulbs from vleds and am very satisfied, they look great, very bright and are extremely white even though they look yellow in my iphone pics.
also I reinstalled my type s front lip since the guy who installed it initially had huge gaps under the headlights and also extended past the fender on the driverside and into the wheel well about 3/4 of an inch, I wasn't happy non the less. bluetl04 and i took care of it and as usual a big thanks to him

more updates to come once my bank account allows

just a few cool lighting shots with my terrible iphone camera. loving the new morimoto hid bulbs, my new switchbacks, and new hid fog setup. old switchbacks and bulbs never really matched and needed to go, very happy now

I've seen how good that oracle 8300 smoke tints looks but can't find where to buy it online. and that damn independent fog mod that I can't seem to find another way for it to work for 07-08's without cutting into the hid fog harness

Dude, I missed your build thread. Whoops, very nice progress.
And to be honest...for such a g'dang sexy color, I've often wondered why people didn't do MORE color matching the grill/headlight/Tail bezels. Seriously.

Great work. My favorite TL color, hands down.

I've said it before and ill say it again.... thanks man it really means alot coming from guys like u who have such sick TLs man. it's people like u who got me to start modding my car in the first place. I totally agree with color matching trim, no matter what color 3rd gen I dunno why more people don't pull the trigger on it, to be honest I can't wait to get this drop done lol so I can order my aspec sides and have all this shit painted at once. I'm just gunna have to bother Eddie (bluetl04) more to give me a hand with the coils since I really don't wanna tackle it myself lol. not to mention he's done it multiple time with his and his girls TLs

Hey cazio, this is my 1st post to your progress thread, and by
the way your ride is looking very nice.
But you will be suprised how easy the coil install will be. I don't
know If you know but (heeltoe) has a diy vid on his web site
showing top hat install on the coils. I just did mine 2weeks
ago and not hard at all,just time consuming. But you'll have
fun doing it. RICH

oh I'm very aware of that vid as well as many DIYs related to the install. I'm just worried about taking out the rear seats and other steps that require two people in my opinion.

Well, thank you back.
Can't wait to see coils installed. The ONLY big annoying part, IMO, is putting the rears back in. And even then, it's not THAT bad.

lol will do man but I think these aspecs are sittin with me for quite some time. Especially since I plan on keeping my ride height with the aspec.

I pass a type s on my way to work every day and I know an old lady drives it. I'm gonna stop by one day just to see if she would b willing to let me buy the sides off her. She has the type s kit all the way around and she probably doesn't even know it exists lol. What a shame

I was in the same boat, I checked the BM for CBP aspec side skirts everyday for months before I said the heck with it and just bought some NBP ones had them painted. Deff worth it, they make a much bigger difference in person than in pics.

I agree, the used stock type-s ones I have had run their course and not to mention after my little blunder where I damaged one I've started to despise them lol. it's not very noticeable since my body guy jerry rigged it for now but I still know it's busted and want them gone.
