Nice Ride! Got any more pics of the silver calipers? I've been debating Silver for quite some time now, but yours is the first silver TL-S I've seen with them. I'd love to see some farther away shots. Going to put the Brembo decals on?

ahhaha ya i get asked this question pretty often... Well first off let me say the car is completely payd by me and no one else. I am a project coordinator for a IT company and i am fortunate enough to be able to work from home... so other than Useless spending and fun money i was able to save enough to pick up this beauty.

On my first drive, i noticed the car wasnt going well... very sluggish not responsive and i was pretty disappointed. i got home and began to do some searching, i realized the temperature was a big factor at the moment it is extremely hot and humid so im getting a lot of heat soak, thats 1. 2 i didn't know about the ECU reset and how the ECU actually holds a memory of your driving... Apparently my ECU thinks i drive my like a grand ma.. so i just did the Reset it about 15 min ago and WOW its like night and day... the car feels so much more responsive, makes its way up the power band so much faster and my butt dyno keeps wanting more... i guess now if i get pulled over for speeding i can tell the cop i was trying to prove to my ECU think im not an old lady
for anyone looking to get this product id say its fantastic, very well made,great gains for the price, great customer service and one thing that was really important for me was the super fast shipping... im in montreal and got this 3 days after ordering.
1 thing to be ware of is the border fees... 132$ and thats after the 63$ shipping.
Anyway great product, great vendor, Thank you Excelerate!

Nice job Alex! The calipers look great. Next, consider lowering your Type S and spacers.

Ya i have a few nice plans, the only problem is i get destroyed with border fees every time i order parts from states and considering the car seen around here is really big we dont have any real tuning shops that sell parts at reasonable prices. for example i just received my j-pipe.. cost 400 plus 62 shipping (these 2 i am all for paying..) and then UPS gets to my house and asks for another 142$... so if i order exhaust and coilovers i will be getting crucified.
