Man, that drop is perfect! I think a kit is unnecessary at this point. Your car looks really good.

My only suggestion would be to go with the lighter grey rear side markers -- as in, the ones for the TL-S -- as it would blend/match better with the front pair.

Of course, you still need to either tint or clear the headlights. With what you've done already, I might consider a clear-out AND a tinting of the headlights.

Nice ride... Love it!

I was thinking about the 07 rear markers. but since my Tails are tinted the same color, I think I'm actually gonna tint the front markers the same as the back. keep the whole black/white thing going. Same with the headlights. (when I'm confident I won't have to rent a car for a week 'cause I farked it up...)

but for the group buy of the a-spec kit.. I might consider putting Eliza in a skirt...

Thanks again for all the complements everyone.

As far as the tires... I LOVE them. aggressive pattern, AMAZING grip. my only issue is the longevity. i only got about 13,000 miles out of the tires. summer tire so if you can afford a summer and winter set. go for it. In CA, it's pretty much my everyday tire. but at about 250 a tire... 13,000 isn't a lot. But they are definately one of the BEST tires i've ever had.

ride: im running a 35 series tire on 19's so you can definately feel the difference. if you have an adjustable coilover like the Tein SS, you can definately make the adjustment for a more "stock" ride.

Noise: all i hear is my stereo...

What Happened to the H & R Springs?

Hey, whats up everyone? Newbie here!!
I was wondering if you still had the H&R springs? or if you sold them already..

Real nice car man, I like your rims but black rims might have looked nice also to match the blacked out lights and tints. And I'd definately go A-spec as far as kits for your car. It's more sporty then the ronjon. The ronjon looks bulky at times.

Maybe this person isn't quite familiar with what us WDPers have to go through with the bumper paint...or maybe he just wanted to rub it in.

Ahhh, OK. That would be just as awesome, perhaps more so. Good call there. With that and the headlight blackout, your car is gonna be super hot. I'm kind of going in another direction with my car. Instead of going white/black, I'm going white/white, with touches of chrome here and there. I will be getting tint, though. I've also been contemplating mirror tint, but I'm not sure if I have the juevos to pull that off.

it's dropped almost an inch and a half in the fron and a little over an inch in the back. I used H&R sport springs.

you want to check the laws in your area, here in CA, the answer is yes... as far as i'm aware, you're not supposed to inhibit the transmition of any light by the addition of tints, films or the like, but I've also read that it has to be able to be seen from over 500 ft in day or night.

but in the 2 years I've had my car, i haven't had ANY problens, and have had cops right on my tail many times.

what you have to be aware of though is that if you are in a "rear-ended" accident, and the lawyer is smart enough to exam the vehicle and notices the tails tinted, he can argue visability, and may invalidate your claim.

but it sure does look purdy... haha
