But dude, i think your car is perfect now with the type-s spoiler. Glad you finally got your hands on one
Thanx Andy, we should get a BBQ azine meet soon or meet up somewhere.

I think wheels would be a great upgrade to your car. You've been through two sets of Teins and no wheels yet, but Im sure the set you choose would be a good one.

No doubt man, will do. Hopefully there's a meet or show that i can attend.
I should be in the Miami area on the fourth of July weekend.

WOW, your TL has done a 360 change. It's a beast and I'm sure the pictures don't have any justice. It seems you know your spot for photo shooting. I don't have a TL but if you want to tag team one day for a photo shoot let me know.

Congratulations on your accomplishment. You have done well.

Hey bro, do you have anymore pics of the trunk lip spoiler? I finally took off my wing and I'm in the process of installing the "S" lip. I just want a better idea of the coverage for the previous holes from the wing.

Thanks.

Sorry bro, i dont have pics of the trunk lip spoiler at the moment, but the spoiler will only cover 2 of the 4 holes that the spoiler wing leaves behind. That's why i suggest getting the holes welded shut and re-painting the whole trunk.

Im actually in the process of doing that just gotta wait for my boy to give me the heads up, since im probably gonna get my roof re-done and get some other miscellaneous items painted.

Thanx man, if your interested in them send me a pm. I will be removing them in the near future and getting something a little different.

It's amazing how the Type S spoiler can make the rear end look so much more aggressive. I like your car a lot. You give me a kick to get that roof spoiler. In other pics, I wasn't feeling it too well, but with the black roof and roof spoiler just makes it look sick and paired up with the Type S lip...

You're getting better with the camera, Oscar! Just keep it in your hands.
When will you be shooting my car?
I want your TypeS diffusers.

Thanx Dave, i got lucky that the camera didn't fall directly on the floor but instead rolled off my foot.
Maybe next time we meet up we can do a proper shoot, and those type-s diffusers will be for sale soon.

Question: what made you decide to use the 04-06 aspec lip on your 07-08 base front?
Also, your Sig says "complete Type-S front and rear...but you have a base front....am I missing something?

Great job Oscar. I see you're making magic with your camera and of coarse finding good spot in Baltimore area. It was nice seeing you on Baltimore car meet couple weeks ago.

Oscar holy shit! You car looks fawking amazing! I'm glad you were able to get the TEINs from Jason. You know he's selling the air suspension now, you should hop on that

I look forward to seeing your car in person. I wish you were coming to the Charlotte meet

It was also good seeing you at the I.A. meet. I still have to upload those pics

Thanx, Tyler said it best. It's the 07-08 Base bumper with the 04-06 lip.

Thanx Tyler, I was long over due for an update. I heard about Jason parting out and selling the car, believe me i thought about picking up that air suspension, but right now its not in my budget. I'm trying to save up for a house....

I wish i could make it to the Charlotte meet, but that's just a little far for me. I wish it was closer.

Thanx Andy, but i sill have a few thing that i would like to do before i can say that the exterior is fully done.... yet again it's never done.
Im starting to do some interior mods. I'm actually waiting for a part now, had to send it back beacuse they sent me a faulty device. Hopefully it arrives by wednesday.
I had the cleared out headlights at the I.A. meet, just installed the Type-S headlights yesterday.

So, when are the wheels going on your car? I was hoping to see them on at the I.A. meet....

yeah i was sad i didnt have them on for the meet i thought i was gonna have them on that saturday before the meet, but when i went to the tire place they just sold the sizes i wanted so i ran out of luck bc they had it 2-3days prior. Im sure ill have them on before the next meet unless its already too late ( winter/snow etc). if not.. it'll definitely be on for the CP meet in the spring

Let me know when you're done with those wheels and I'll buy them from you, seriously. But if I was you I wouldn't change a thing because your car looks perfect as it sits right now.
