Those wheels are amazing. Love the concavity. Did you have to put any spacers on to clear the front brembo's?

the type-s is looking badazz! i love every step you took to get it to the beauty it is now. love the blacked out roof. still waiting to do mine, maybe this summer. i remember lokis 04 WDP, his whip was clean. and who could forget Eric's ride. inspirations for me as well. im sure your whip has served as some inspiration to others on here. it has for me! when considering my next major exterior mod, i just had to take one look at your pics. that did it for me.

Thanks Jamie! It means a lot coming from you, the custom king, I love everything with your car! Good luck on the black roof! Do you know what material you will use? I'm sure it is going to look sick!

Thanks! Yeap a lot of work goes into keeping this car clean, but I enjoy it and brings a lot satisfaction to me. I just had to learn to be patient and plan out everything the way I wanted to. Thanks again!

Beautifully done. Just curious, does your XM antenna have vinyl on it too, or did you buy an NBP antenna? Are there any seams on it?

Great job! What are the miles on your car and what has been the total overall cost up to this point that you have spent?

I am struggling hard as to whether I should trade my RDX for an 08 Type S for a small mthly payment for the next 18-24mths

I really like what you've done with your car, infact it actually inspired me to order the Nyoka H8 Yellow fog light bulbs! I just picked up my TL-S about a month ago and it all stock except for window tint and the exhaust ordered, any suggestions on some nice classy upgrades?

I looked at this car and died a little inside because it wasn't mine.

Amazing job with it, I especially love the http://bit.ly/gHykWp picture. Great stance.

Absolutely love the wheels! But here's my totally random question: How did you manage not to have the VA license plate in the front? I also live in Virginia and everyone drives around with two plates.

Thanks Rain. There is a lot of inspiration on this site, just look at the gallary and find what suites your fancy. I don't know what you are interested in however, I can tell you that you a goregous SSM TL-S. Happy Modding bud!

Blacked out the headlight and painted the chrome piece black.

your car is sick! ...and most of the reason im looking into the Advan RS wheels (again). just sucks center caps for the wheels are usually around $200 to get.

oh, off topic, but the GT500 is a fine specimen too in the one garage pic! i know someone with a Super Snake and its absolutely ridiculous.
