Hi ziner'S

Nothing to big but a little update

Put 3mm spacer to the rear wheel .. setup is now 18x9.5 +12mm

We don't see the result very well on the pic, but in real I see the difference with the 3mm spacer !




Bef


After


This week end it's time to install the Long stud ARP, tranny oil change, brake fluid and spark plug !

Wow. Great build thread.


I agree; Type-S tail lights are nice, but I love the all red too. I've been thinking about going back to all red as well.


I normally dont like these wheels on the TL; but I love them on yours. Awesome stance.

Car looks awesome man, really nicely done.

I really like what you did with the grill. I think I may need to get myself a bottle of plasti-dip and start that way.
