Unless your gonna powdercoat them I think re-dipping them in chrome at least 2x for good coverage is going to be $$!!

I went from being drop 2.5 all the way around raised it a bit and now i feel like the rear of the car sits higher lol this is frustrating.
Actually when the previous owner of the teins pulled up to my yard he had aspecs on too and when I saw the drop I said it's perfect. Mind you I have a dual 12" sub box in the trunk and my spare tire and a little tool box I keep with me just in case. If you want I can measure the height of the perches for you so you can see if that help you dial yours in better. I don't even know what number the dampening is on and I'm debating on get the EDFC unit. I've read a few bad stories about them just twisting off.

How did you modify the base ASPEC lip to fit on your Type-S? I hate the bug-eyes of the Type-S ASPEC and have been avoiding pulling the trigger because of it.

Sorry if this has been discussed in the past, I didn't think I could find it in a search (modified ASPEC front lip would probably give 100 results).

You just have to cut around the fog light area.

Car looks REALLY REALLY good!! I love the way the Amp'd emblem stands out against the WDP, and contrary to what may be said, it looks right on your car!

Car looks great, im glad you matched out the side markers the yellow looks good together against wdp. Is it spring bug time that everyone mods out there car around this time or is it just tax refund time?

And yes the zkw's will look extra sexy being that they kinda give a lil yellowish glow
