I can definitely drop it more, but the stance is the way it is for a reason. I like to go to the track, and being slammed doesn't equate to the best performance. So, I have it where it is for performance/looks. It's a balance of the two. Thanks for your compliments!

I finally did it...

I really didn't want to do this for the whole time I've owned my car, but I finally broke down and got my front A-Spec lip put on. What do you think?

My Newest Mod:

Gauge: Auto Meter Sport Comp Digital Pro Shift Light Gauge (3387)
Pod: Auto Meter S2000 A-Pillar Gauge Pod (20444)

This mod was specifically for my benefit at the track. I'm pretty confident that I'm not only the 1st, but the ONE AND ONLY 3G TL Type-S with this mod!









Props go out to Jaime (jptl04). Yes, there was a thread made already for this here: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-112/first-autometer-shift-light-install-mt-tl-s-pics-740222/, but this is my thread!

Thanks, bro. I got the gauge for cheap off of Ebay, but you can get both the pod and gauge from Autometer themselves as well. I was just looking for a deal. The liner is felt that Jaime had in his garage. You can ask him (jptl04) directly!

Princely, brother-you've been busy! The Aspec kits do look great on NBP's. The meter is sweet. It looks like a high quality install too!

Alright everyone...it's been a LONG time since I've updated this thread, but here you go:

Here's my switch placement for "on-demand" rearview camera viewing:



Here it is up close:



The placement is SO stealth and easy to reach. Just in case you all don't know where it's at, it's right below the steering wheel assembly right on the right-side of the ridge on the driver's side lower dash panel.

I'll give my props to Jaime (jptl04), for thinking of the switch placement location. As you all know, he is the master of custom.

Also, Kevin (acuratech239), just in case you see this, here's an idea of where to place the switch instead of having it just dangle.

Is this a thread about a type-s, or mountain bikes, and trails????

If you're gonna talk about something other than the car, make sure it has four wheels! Lol!
