Finally, '05 SSM TL Aspec complete...
 
Well, I'm done (according to my wife). I might blackout the headlights but that's it :wish:... Here are some pics of my SSM with black chrome aspecs and the new house...

thats a nice house!.. and a nice car!

ebelp 06-20-2011 09:20 AM

Looks great! I'm not an A-spec wheel expert...what makes the wheels "black chrome"? They just look like normal chrome to me. :shrug:

mn2trance 06-20-2011 09:46 AM

Holy crap dude! That's a steep driveway! LOL Very nice house and great looking car! I'll be on the lookout for it on 400. :D

chapu08 06-20-2011 09:57 AM

SSM FTW!! Congrats on the car, the house and the landscape. :thumbsup:

They are painted black before the chrome.... giving it a deeper/darker chrome look.

renedcruz 06-20-2011 10:55 AM

Looks awesome. Super clean. :thumbsup:

omnuts 06-20-2011 11:26 AM

Very nice house for the ride, it's looking good.

It's not too bad, you ought to see the lakehouse driveway, almost a 45* angle :ugh:. What part of 400 do you travel? I'm usually inbetween Alpharetta and Cumming...

LasVegasTL 06-20-2011 03:21 PM

Nice house. Those Type S tails look good with SSM.

lexsteele 06-20-2011 03:37 PM

Nice car...looks very clean...along with the house also :thumbsup:. Where did you purchase the kit? And how much did you pay if u dont mind me asking? Did you install the kit yourself, was it difficult if you did?

bkmchenry 06-20-2011 04:12 PM

great looking car! nice job. That is what I am wanting to do to an 04 or 05 once I find an decent priced MT

ttribe 06-20-2011 06:14 PM

Nicely done. Congrats.

lilsid112 06-20-2011 06:56 PM

Beautiful house man, car is really clean!

NWSTL 06-20-2011 07:01 PM

Both are very nice! War Eagle!

guitarplayer16 06-20-2011 07:16 PM

Nice house!

Awesome looking driveway.

Bladehopper82 06-20-2011 08:36 PM

Very nice! House looks great, but the car looks better. Do you have the A-Spec suspension as well? Those tails look great. I'll keep my eyes out for you the next time I'm out your way.

Dat Boi Ralph 06-20-2011 09:41 PM

nice car SSM FTW, beautiful house

Steven Bell 06-20-2011 10:33 PM

Nice shots Buff. If the wife says you're done, you could probably squeeze in an $80 JDM roof spoiler....

cjTL 06-20-2011 10:55 PM

Your car is so clean. Awesome work!

justnspace 06-20-2011 10:56 PM

it must feel good to be a gangsta :thumbsup:

CLtotheTL32 06-20-2011 11:01 PM

Such a clean car :drool:

Looks great man. Gorgeous house as well, I love the landscaping.

quanaman 06-21-2011 03:41 AM

Love the Black chrome A-Specs. I'm looking for a set myself!

I actually also have the Fujita intake on my car. How's yours sound? Any whistling while normal driving?


And I'm so envious of your 3 car garage!!!

SlimTL 06-21-2011 04:45 AM

Nice. I love the combo of house and ride!

Any type of incline, my car will scrape the air dam lol.

I'm usually found on 400 from exit 5 - 11 depending on where my friends and I will decide to go for dinner any given day of the week.

edmua6 06-21-2011 08:19 AM

remove the front plates, it would be much much much cleaner :)

I purchased it about a year ago on a group buy from Tim on www.oemacuraparts.com I think it was around $750-$775 shipped. Fairly easy install if you know how to remove the bumpers and reinstall. Definitely a DIY job, don't pay someone...

I saw that... :thumbsup: Go SEC, we'll see how Cam does in the pros (if we have football :wish:)

Yes, I did the manual Aspec suspension about a year ago. Not a bad DIY but it freaked out the wife when she saw everything pieced out on the garage floor. I got the "you know how to put all of that stuff back in/on" look. I've always loved the S tails. Now if I could just get the headlights to match :thumbsup:...

Contact AckTL05 and see if he has any sets left, great price if you need to upgrade tires (my stock 17's were bald so I upgraded). Love the Fujita and it sounds great. I've always had intakes on all of my cars and I haven't noticed any whistling with this intake. I have heard what sounds like a tiger growl when I get on it... :toocool: I've waited a lot of years to finally get my 3 car garage. No more kids digging up my doors with their bikes, hopefully.

I believe Mansell is exit 8 so anywhere inbetween 8 and 14. I'll definitely keep an eye out :toocool: We'll have to get a Northern ATL-Azine outing for a couple of beers.

KnightRider3575 06-23-2011 11:43 PM

Clean! Looks good!

zbarbato016 06-24-2011 09:08 AM

Nice car and nice house! There are some really nice house out in that area. Ill have to keep my eye out for you and mn2trance. I live around Lawrenceville area but I go up that way some times. Blacking out the headlights would look awesome too!

I pride myself on doing everything DIY but for some reason I have a small mental block on throwing perfectly good headlights in the oven. I'll probably do it one day when the wife is gone and I've had a beer or two :thumbsup:

SSMTL04 06-27-2011 09:30 AM

I think I'm going to do the type-s tailights now after looking at your pics!! Looks pretty nice on SSM!!

Haha im the same way! I wanna do it but kinda nervous about something so expensive in the oven. thats probably why i went ahead first with the overlays, until i work up the guts to do it my self. lol ill probably try it soon though...and if it turns out good i could come help you out, your only about 45 minutes away from where I live.

Nice ride, and crib, OP. :thumbsup:

Car too nice, crib too nice....

DuongBros. 06-29-2011 10:46 PM

love it!

Blacking out the headlights with switchbacks would be awesome. I just did it and you won't regret it!

Only downside with the aspecs is that i wish my rears were wider so they don't sink in!

Where did you get your switchbacks from?

Yeah, the 18 x 8.5 would be perfect...
