First photoshoot and wheels

Hey my names D.J. I just recently purchased my TL around the beginning of this month. I purchased this after getting rid of my RSX. So far I have just installed wheels and tires. I took more pictures but they didnt turn out that well so here is a few for now. I just ordered some 15mm spacers for the rear and will be taking more pictures once I install those. Hopefully I will be able to meet some of you guys at the East Coast Honda Meet in Richmond, I plan on attending that as long as its not 2000' degrees out!

Suspension:
F&F Type 1

Wheels & Tires:
Linea Corse Dynas
19x8.5 +28 225/35 Dunlop Direzzas
19x10 +43 245/35 Dunlop Direzza

You are right!

Sharksbreath I actually went to order them from discounttires, called them to verify that they were available but a few days after I ordered them I got a email saying I was getting a refund due to them being on back order. I ended up going threw tire rack and they had one set at my door the day after I ordered and the other set the day after that.

No problem. I struggled with the decision myself. I like both set ups equally. I have a base model. I'll leave the stagger to the Type S guys!

very very nice. That rear looks more sunken in than the front. Are you thinking of adding some spacers in the rear to bring those wheels out more? With that stretch they should be flush with the fenders

DJ, well done. What a way to make a good first impression!

Hey, if you'd like to get a new username, let me know (since you're out of the Civic and stepped up to the Type S).

Welcome and congrats on the car! You've made a lot of progress considering you haven't had it for very long. It looks great!
