Hey, I think I have seen your car in town! Did you put the Aspec on yourself? And who did you trust to do your tint?
I am in PC beach myself.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes I did put the A-spec on myself, AutoSports Window Tinting did my tints, and I got the idea for the grills from 05TLTONY, do a search on it, there are DIY instructions and a list of all the supplies needed.

Thanks Ron, It's not my pics it's your great wheel design that make the car look wonderful. The drop looks pretty good, but I wish the front would sit a little bit lower, future mod will be the Tein SS. Wish I would of done it right the first time. Oh well you live you learn.

Nice mods! Those Ronjon wheels look great! I'd prefer the look of your car to the new Type S.

The pictures of the new Type-S show the wheels looking very similar to these inspyres..........lawsuit Ron? I wonder if they are sticking with the 18' size or moving to a 19' on the Type-S?

Thanks, the first pic is my favorite also. WOW, you got a hot lookin ride also. Gotta love the Inspyre's, they look great on any color car! Have you ever thought about clearing your headlights? That would really set your car off.

As requested, here are some pics of the subs. Nothing special like some peoples custom built trunks. Just a sealed obcon box with 2 10" rockford fosgate P2 subs, Amp is mounted on top. I believe the TL have a really nice sound system I just wanted to add a little more bass.



Also a couple more shots of the front grills that everyone seems to like. Thanks again for all your comments.

Your car looks very good. Shoulda smoked the headlights but you still did an awesome job on the car, i like both cleared and smoked, but all in all that is one kick ass looking car and the second to the last pictures if awesome.

Thanks Shayan, The only thing i did to the headlights was clear them (just popped out amber piece and replaced with nothing). Then replaced the light bulbs with led amber blinking turn signals. I really don't like the blacked out look unless its on a WDP car,,that looks hot!

I totally agree, I dont like the blacked out headlights either except on WDP cars. Thanks for telling me because I didnt know if they replaced the amber with anything or just left it without anything.
your lower grills look awesome to

What are the specs of the wheels? Just wondering since you are dropped pretty low and running a 245 tire. Any rubbing?

Wheels are 19x8.5 with an offset of +42, go to Ronjons web site and check them out. I've never had any rubbing issues except a little rubbing on the a-spec rear piece inside the wheel well. Fixed that but just cutting a small piece off the a-spec rear.

Moneystl: I did my cleared my headlights on my own from a DIY thread here on Acurazine!! I believe there are a couple of threads on how to do it yourself. Just make sure you have about 2 days free to do it, thats about how long it took me. It is so rewarding to do alot of these mods on your own!! It really makes you feel good that you where able to work on your own car without having to pay someone to do the work for you!!!
