Numairh's DGP 6MT TL
 

Well, just picked up an '05 6MT from my work! 100k miles, no accidents, and major services already done. Got it for a steal. It is time to get rid of the SSM soon. I am swapping parts over then will list her for sale!

Looks clean. Is it green?

I have been a little busy haha. Here is how she sits about 3-4 days later. So far, I swapped the headlights, side markers, coilovers, wheels, and short shifter. I also washed, clayed, and waxed it. Need to do a paint correction soon but she looks pretty good as is.

:drool:

I've been super busy this week. I wrapped the orange wood trim in black wood grain vinyl, I swapped over my short shifter from the old TL, I put a light tint on my taillights from Laminx, replaced all halogens in the interior, license plate lights, and reverse lights with LEDs from EndlessRPM (SUPER bright), and my friend/lead of CleanCulture Norcal bannered up my new TL with a Henny copper banner.

I'm really digging that wood grain wrap. How much disassembly was required for the center console?

Dude, congrats....what a rare color!

Where did you find the black woodgrain vinyl?

Brooo...
I had that mishimoto shift knob in both my S2000 and TL although eventually I went OEM S2000 titanium one, even though it's pricey!
Loving this car coming together!

:pervert:

I liked it's weight and height but in the end, I loved the OEM feel too.

Loving it man! I'm not a fan of this color but you make it look good. Lol.

I know you have updated pix to show... lol kinda surprised its not posted yet.

Maybe.. I keep tellin myself I will but, I forget and I get lazy or side tracked. BTW... CHANGE YOUR AVATAR!!!

Clean Green Fightin Machine! Wood grain wrap looks awesome

Moar pics of that woodgrain wrap...

Did a lot since my last update. I sold my Type S lips and bought an OEM Type S rear bumper, base front Aspec, and am picking up Type S side skirts in a couple days. If you can't tell, I am not doing full Aspec on this car. I had it for 3 years and its too played out now. I got my ATLP catback, RV6 Jpipe, K&N cold air intake, Progress RSB on the DGP from my old one as well. Swapped to 08 base tails but might go Type-S. I also went back to amber front LED turn signals and got some 6000K HID bulbs to replace the factory ones. Last, I removed the rear emblems, the mudguards, and I installed a rear diffuser. She will be going into paint this weekend to color match all the new parts!

Super clean! I like it.

Looks great man!

The A-Spec kit is nice but I wasn't going to go for it either. Can't wait til it's out of the shop man. With all the parts color matched, I'm sure it'll look great!

Because the base aspec is classier and cleaner looking IMO.

Thanks everyone! And I thought about it, it would've been almost the same price to buy an OEM Type S bumper, I just like the base lip!

Moar updates!!

So I sold my wheels on Monday, and ordered a set of ESR SR11 in black chrome which just came in. 18x9.5 +22 but I have to run a 3mm spacer in the front because the barely were touching the brakes :/. Waiting on tires to come in now. Went with 225/35/18 Achilles ATR Sport 2. Also got my Type S side skirts off my friend who just got Aspec. Bumpers, lip and skirts going into get painted this Saturday and hopefully wheels are on next week. I also did a 1 step paint correction because the swirls were really bothering me, and it looks so much better. Ill do a better correction a little bit later but this will do for now.

Those wheel are gonna look amazing man!

Looking great. No surprise from you. That wheel and finish are exactly what I want for my anthracite. Just what you wanted to hear, right? Lmao :thumbsup:

This is gonna be good.

That's what she said...

naww...it's not.

Got the wheels on! I love the fitment, but the car sits a little lower with the 35 series tire... Need to get used to it. Its rubs all around, so I shaved my rear fenders (scared to roll because I don't know if any repairs with bondo have been done) and it rubs a lot less now, can't even see the marks on the tire either.. 18x9.5 +22 with a 3mm up front to clear the calipers and 225/35 all around.
