Nice!! I want those wheels sooo bad. Couple questions...

1. How did you get the 07-08 base front with the 04-06 base rear? I didn't know you could do that.

2. Wheel specs?

3. Drop specs?


MOAR PICS!! that's sexy

Thanks for the comment truly appreciated!
1. Funny you ask that question about the rear bumper! I was thinking that same thing that the rear that I got looks exactly like the rear for the 04-06 but I ordered it from the dealer and that the bumper that came with the kit and it bolted up just perfect! So I guess the rear on the 07-08 is the same as the 04-06 base.
2. Wheels are 19x8.5 front and rear is 19x9.5
3. I'm lowered on Tein basics rear is turned all the way down and front I can go down about 1.5" more.


Thanks again for all the comments guys

God....that car is beautiful! I want my SSM to look just like that. Not sure if I can drop over 2G on apsec, springs, wheels/tires while being a college student though lol. Seriously though, whenever you want to take pictures...by all means, post those suckers!!


About the a-spec rear, I've always liked the 07-08 base front and rear (since it has that little indention and breaks up the large rear bumper). If I can get the 07-08 rear a-spec to match up to my '04 then I'd be all over it!!

Also, where did you buy those wheels? I was looking at them at multiple places about a month ago and now I can't find them anywhere

Well I'm actually looking for a soft ride so I'll go with the Basics...its my daily, so I want a nice stance but I don't want to be bouncing around. Its an Acura TL, not a track car
