Wifey and I started modding her 2008 TL Type-S few weeks back and I wanted to start up a progress thread for it! Just to keep track of all the pictures!
I myself have a 4G if anyone wants to check out my other build heres the link
heres a few starting pix when we bought the car in November...
Few Weeks Later Ordered the OEM A-Spec Kit.. (Fedex really fucked up that box)
Also picked up a set of BC Coilovers
Few weeks ago i had the chance to remove the bumpers/side's and install the lip kit..while that was going on i also removed the headlights and cleared them out, remove amber add some carbon, color match the circles surrounding the projectors, i think it came out pretty nice!
We also did the DIY grille mesh mod, cut the oem grille out, filled in the missing piece, it was painted to match and we installed the mesh, added some white HID fogs and 6k switchbacks for that killer front end look!
last but not least, this weekend we installed the coils/camber arms and threw on the Work Gnosis Wheels i had from the previous car. I actually love the White on White! alignemnt needs to be tweeked but overall looks Dope!
More parts to come. but thats all i got for now

Suprised about that grill too but looks sick and if the white on the rims match with the body then yeah is an exact match of my 2014 s500amg. Call her my white girl
I want my type s to sit just like this without being super slammed with that slight poke from the rims. What is your rim and tire size? How low And how low did you have to roll your fenders?
3G is 35% all around including windshield, 4G is 35% windshield and 20% sides

wheels are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 all around, tires are 225-35-19 fronts and 235-35-19 rears. lowered on BC Coils not sure how low it really is but the rears are rolled

You might consider H&R Sports Springs. They sit alittle higher, but still a nice stance.
Very nice! I'm not really a fan of that style of custom grille, but I love that you color matched the grille and those headlight bezels! And those wheels are legit! Also really like the windshield tint, is that legal where you are? It's illegal here in Arizona :-(
