Eso's 2008 TL Type-S

Well I've been prowling around this forum for quite a while before I picked up my new baby. Had her for a little over 2 months and have loved every second! Thought it might be time to share...

On the drive home from the dealership

A couple more... Haven't done much yet but I have a lot planned

Decided to Plasti-Dip my rear emblems. Its hasn't been that long since I did something to my car, but I have been seeing this being done a lot and thought it might give a nice subtle look.
Used clear dip just to diminish the shine of the chrome.

Before..

After Dip

And another random shot of her...

I think I like that finish more than the black-dipped emblems. Nicely done

Looks great so far man! Nice move on the ISC N1's, I also have them and love them. Drop looks good, but hard to see based on the way the light is hitting the car.

Yea A-spec is soon to come. Probably not the whole kit. Just the front to get started.
