Where's the pics of the girl? haha jk. I really dig those. Nice S2K in the back. But I would say do a spec kit first, lots of good deals out right now, it would make the car look better than all the mods listed you wanna do first. Just my . But the car is very clean.

clear side markers and lip spoiler is cheap..

^Valid points. Have you looked into the RonJon one? But even though everyone has it, it sure doesn't allow you to make yours stand from others...i.e. The pink callers, which I like cuz it's nt like super hot stand out pink.

Nice set of mods Courtney. You'll love the Aspec Kit-give it some serious consideration. It really finishes the look of the TL.

WDP FTW! Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you live in NC?

I agree with you, most modded TLs have the A-Spec kit, but that's because it adds so much to the car. When I got mine on, it changed the whole presence of the car. You should really consider getting it.

And damn that's a sexy AP2 in the background. More pics of that and your TL

cool, if i were you, i would make my next set of tires 245 or 235's, cause imo lower profile tires would make the car look sick

Looking good Courtney!
As for the calipers, what paint did you use? Did you have to mix it yourself? My girl has a red 06 Accord and her calipers need a paint job badly. Problem is, I don't like the red paint kits with her RRP body. Any help would be appreciated, b/c she REALLY loves pink!

Jeez---Google really IS my friend! I just found the G2 caliper kit in pink. Thanks for the inspiration!

thanks. yeah i love the old school wheels. havent seen many sets around here.

the pink paint is just high heat paint but i could only find it at summit.

yeah the front sidemarker is out (weird for leds to go out) so im just going to buy a new set of front ones to match the rear ones.

Did you install aftermarket struts with those springs? If not, they're going to blow within the next month or two.

Car looks great though.

When you do I would suggest Tokico HTS, or the Koni SP3's. Your going to want dampening adjusability, trust me. I've had the Race springs on my car for a little more than a year with Tokico HP struts and the stiffness of my suspension is getting old....lol

it looks like its half rolled but its not. the part that "looks" rolled can be rolled a lot further. you should do the whole fender just so u wont have any problems.

i had my rears rolled (19x9.5 +22 on 235/35/19) and i still rubbed in the rear like 10 o'clock when looking at the face of the wheel so i had them pulled. i still rub when i hit bumps on the freeway but im sure with H&R race springs you will be fine cuz im lower than those springs.

Did you just get the H&R race springs? I have had them for a while and they lower my car ALOT more, let me get settled and you will probably get more pleased by the results. Lovin the S2k with the RPF1s in the background lol

Looks Great! Lovin the WDP with the black roof. Paint or Vinyl? Also, how do the H&R race springs ride? Are they on stock shocks? I agree with the a-spec kit, I think it looks clean without.

Looks good i love the wheels and the look you're going for. I think some tint would also make the car look more aggressive.

thanks. its painted. i debated paint and vinyl but went with paint bc my friend is a manager at a local shop and gave me a good deal. i jsut got the springs but i got them used so they should have settled already. i was on a hill so maybe when i level the car out it will be lower with those wheels.
