finally lowered car i think im done modding what do you think?

ok i sharred a pic on the rim/suspension forum but was told might be better to share in this section more people looking around i guess

I think the drop came out good should i try going any lower i got to get it alligned so i want to get it all finalized so i dont have to do that more than 1 time...

i really dont think i want to do any other mods anything you guys think might add to the car??

Thanks!

Do some interior mods like adding the Di-noc. Also you could add Angel Eyes to your headlights. That would look hot

I don't I think can ever express in words or emotions how much I hate headlight tints. Remove them.

You can do a body kit and perhaps a roof wing?

i was thinking roof wing but didnt want to over do it.. i like aspec kits on base TL's i saw a guy rolling a TL-S with an aspec kit and aspec rims i didnt quite understand why use all the aspec stuff on a type S... maybe the front bumper... i think the headlight tint looks darker in the pic than in real life but i think i will remove it.... what about the slight tint on the rears?? yay or nay??

Not to go against the crowd, but I like the tint on the front and rear, as long as it's not too dark. Mine are pretty light and like you said, they are cheap and also reversible.

Wow, ride looks nice as is, but the A-spec kit would set it off just right. It'll compliment those wheels and drop real good. Since you don't want to mod much after this, getting the Spec kit should hold you over for a while.

Trust me...U won't regret it.

Plus, if you stay on A-zine, you'll never be done modding.

$200 is a good price. I'm thinking about getting the Racing Brake Rotors to match my ET300 pads now. Just feel like I want more stopping power.

As for the ride, I'm getting used to it. I had to get back into the habit of going over speed bumps sideways and not to pull up all the way when parking. I've accidentally scraped my front on a few of those concrete parking blocks..ouch!

with the 19's and the drop yes the ride is a bit rougher however it is because i have my coilovers set stiff right now... no rubbing but i am going to roll fenders just incase i go lower in the future or anything... as of now im happy with the choices i made and the cost werent too bad to get this look

I really like the look of this!

I didnt notice the headlights at first. What jumped out at me was the yellow fogs, and only because I would go blue. But hey, we all have our own choices.

I think the rest is just beauty. Not overdone and looks really smooth.
