Hmm. When I saw the first picture, I thought the roof wing was too angled up... but as I scrolled down, DAMN... I really like it!

Where did you get it from?

Car look great! I like what you did with your type-s emblem. I had the same idea.

Yes, very nice. Clean but complete. Nice example of how you can have the best of both the Type-S/non-S worlds.

I normally never comment on other people's cars b/c they never seem to look good, but damn that's really nice.

How'd you do your headlights?

Nice, Nice, Nice man! The spoiler completes it. He's probably still sleeping. You gotta a lot of questions to answer.

Off Topic- Kennedy, You are funny with your saying below your name. Psycho from Cali inspired I see....lol.

THANKS TO ALL ON THE PROPS!!!

i thought you guys would kinda like it. yes rocky, best of both worlds is right
base front spoiler on the type-s FTW! One of a kind baby one of a kind.

yes it is a sarona roof spoiler. they only make one for the tl. Yo BLACK, did i work the spoiler? you bet your ass i did! when i got it i was like cool all i have to do is get it painted it's primered already. i placed that thing on the rear window and was like " OH HELL NO!!! that thing sat so high! like 1/2 inch off the top. i trimmed that thing soo much. but i came out clean after i was done.


i got this tool a home depot i think its for shaving down plaster after drywalling. there was a ton of material i shaved off that thing. this thing did short work of it. about an hour of shaving.

i know you and others have this wing but i never see any close up shots of it. if they didn't trim it down, i know why i dont see any, it looks like poo when you get it from sarona. why couldn't they trim it to fit better?

sleep! who needs sleep! i'll sleep when im dead! i was at my buddies pad, getting crazy in his garage. here's a little sneak peek.

i had some other parts painted as well, all the engine compartment plastic covers, wing, guy charged me $225 for all. yea i trimmed it alot before i got it painted with that tool i got. i figured i would take my time and trim it real good test fitting it frequently. cuz i dont think a body shop would try to make it that perfect. but thats just me im very picky and anal.

no i shaved off the majority of the material from the top part were it meets the roof and some on the sides, hardly nothing on the bottom part. i dont know exactly how much i just shaved it till it looked flush.

i didn't use any sandpaper just that tool i showed, it shaves it down pretty smooth.

Not a fan of the wheels, but the whole car in general, is DROLL MATERIAL! One of the cleanest ua6 I've seen in a while. The '08 Base aspec front lip looks so good with the Type-s Aspec kit! Love you roof spoiler, unlike the other TLs I've seen rocking the ugly ebay spoiler. Thumbs up to your ride!

oo soo i see what you did now looking at pics from the sorona website, you shaved off the only the top part that tuching the roof which created a wing that slants down rather than flat
