Great Job!

I bet those wheels with the blue pin stripe look much better in person. I'd love to see some rolling shots.

Nice drop too.

Nice, just get an A-Spec kit, but you know what else I'd do?

I'd remove the TL decal and put the Type-S decal on the left lower corner, like the S badge on the S-4 S-5 S-8 Etc.

Looks good, but the wheel fitment is kind of ruining it. Put some spacers on and they'll look amazing.

Other than that..

I sooooo like the style and ideas you just through down... seriously... its not time attack... its BLUE ATTACK <-

get rid of those lugs... look into a set of 12x1.5 Muteki Open Ended Lug Nuts in Blue


ps. dude I agree with fizzle... here is a link for some spacers
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270238735159

get 1 on each corner... it will push the wheels out and with ur drop, it will look awesome...

Sometimes i wish i got blue instead of white. There are so many different color combos you can do to it. Paint the "A" emblem in the back?

Great job on being different! Now if you were to complete this special edition blue Type-S theme you could try a mission of changing everything that's Type-S red to blue. Try retrofitting all the lights inside from red to blue too. I know that is a huge challege but you'd have the only car out there like that!!

Those lugs are made for Aftermarket wheels and will not seat properly on OEM wheels.

Looks really good, love the theme......I would have still done gloss black. For some reason the flat black color never looks "clean" in my opinion.

Ride looks sweet. I think they should have made the Type-S factory wheels black instead of that grey. They look way better in black. Did you paint them or powder coat them?
