lovely pictures~
the only thing that draw me back from putting the 07 base tails is the LEDs on them look pinkish when they're on.

but i sure love how they look when they're off.

That partially blacked out turn signal reflector behind the OEM defuser turned out great . The amber isnt overpowering as it is in stock trim but still gives the front a clean look.

Car looks sick as always

Seems fairly easy to keep clean. White helps hide alot of the dirt.

Only spot that seems to collect dirt that isnt easy to clean is the middle of t he side skirts.

Pretty easy to do. Helps if you have someone help you line you up for the second pic. Also...try and find something that you can use as a center point.

Your new wheels look SO much better than the ones you had before. Overall it looks fantastic and clean!!! The only thing left is to mod the front grill somehow...WDP it maybe? Mesh even better.

Super clean setup!

I also wanted to ask if your brake squeal has gone away. I'm trying to find other Rotora owners with brake squeal, and if/how they were able to elminate the problem. (FYI I have their 2pc 330mm kit on my Scion tC)

I had mine installed about 2 months ago, bedded them in properly, and after a week they squealed ridiculously on both sides whenever they got warmed up. I contacted Rotora, they suggested that I put shim grease between the pad and brake shim..that didn't work. A week later I was able to get an appt at their HQ in Corona, CA to have it checked out. They then thought it was due to me not breaking it in properly..so they refinished the rotor, greased up the retainer pins/clip/pads/shims and bedded the pads. Still squeals. They tried using a different compound pad on a new rotor and bedded the pads..still squeals..

I'm supposed to hear back from one of their head guys this week, I'll keep you posted.

Thanks, after i got these wheels i realized how i wasnt truely happy with the white wheels. Feels nice having a "real set" of known wheels.

Yea they told me the same with shim grease, and then when it didnt help at all they gave me the oh so helpful advice of "use more".

I contacted a couple members on here and their pads were Silver colored where mine are Gold colored. Rotora said that they only have one pad type for the TL BBK...i wasnt gonna settle for that so i contacted EXCELERATE PERFORMANCE on here and this is his responce.

EXCELERATE PERFORMANCE:
The gold pads are actually the better pad but they are ok for the street and better for the track. You should try the RP.04.1

http://store.excelerateperformance.c...1/i-98355.aspx

The gold pad you have is fine for the street but is track oriented. You should be using the RP.04.1 b/c it is more street oriented and less noise.
I may just end up taking the Pads out and measure them to order EBC pads since Rotora has no real answer to fix the problem. Especially when i have Slotted OE sized rotors on the rear w/ ceramic pads and have no noise at all from the rears.

how much you get the rims for? also how is the ride? do you have to go super slow over bumps and do you feel everything? I have low pro tires on my civic right now and when I get a TL I would wanna put rims on it and just not sure how big and what tire size. Yours looks great and would be an idea for me.

-Got the Wheels from a member on here in the Black Market brand new in box, but at a considerably lower price.

-Ive always gone slow over speed bumps, even before i was lowered. But yes i do take my time going over anything that even hints at scraping.

-No i do not feel everything, nothing out of the ordinary for a car thats tucking all the way around. The TEINs do a great job at keeping a smooth ride.


Thanks and good luck with yours
