...how you like me now? Hehe... I'm just playin'! I just got some new shoes and just wanted to share. I think 20's would put me in the DUB club now right? lol

First, we start with a plain jane TL... nothing special:


Then mod a little here and a little there and we get this:


Happy Birthday!


A present here and a present there and...



Can't forget the NEW SHOES!


And then... TADA!




Sorry the pictures kinda suck... I wish a had a DSLR ... I'll try to borrow one for some better pics...

 

very nice. love the new shoes!

 

Looks very nice. You got taste my friend. yummy.

 

Damn sickkkk car!! Looks great, iForged Daytonas?

 

Yeah, my vote is iforged daytonas or HRE 891Rs

 

damn bro your car is sick.. what are the specs on the i-forged??

 

Not to be a dick at all, because I think the rides sick as hell, I just have a thing for those RonJons you had on. Great job nonetheless

 

Both of the sets of rims = sick.

 

I had a big thing for them too!! And I would have kept them buuuuut what are you gonna do when all four of them crack on you and they've been discontinued? So I rolled with these...iForged Daytona's... 20 x 8.5 ... they have a staggered lip, but they're not staggered.

Thank you everyone!

 

Cleared headlights look okay with the ronjons but now you must semi-black out the headlights to go with the new shoes and grille.

 

Seriously thinking about it... I have an extra set of headlights... but I need money so I gotta sell em... You're from SJ? If you're gonna do another Bay Area shoot count me in! haha

 

dascleannn

 

in the last few pics is that on oakland rd where they're building new houses? (assuming youre from sj?)

 

Are you back home Long? WDP photo shoot #2!!!

 

Looks good, but is it just me or did you place the Type S lip too high? The curve of the lip is supposed to contour with the curve of the trunk

 

Nice ride man, are you dropped? If so, on what?

 

looks sick!

 

Iforged are some solid rims, built to last... I only just cracked mine after hitting a number of potholes hard! only one rim needed repairing, and it was a minor crack.

 

i'm so down =)

very nice choice of wheels man!!! how much did u pay? and offset?

 

i'm going to be offically back monday yey alll summer to shoot.

damn its still only at 4wdp's cause we lose ferry but get this guy! haha

 

Yeah I fucked up putting it on ... but it's not a Type-S lip ... it was from ebay... I think it was $70 dollars unpainted... from spoilerstore? or something like that..

Dropped on Tein Basics... no fender rolling no rubbing... well.. over big high speed dips it'll hit a little...

Oh shit! Sunny!... yeah... potholes are a concern but ppl say these wheels are tough so... oh and how's that RJ kit comin'?

What happend to Ferry? I sold him my first A-Spec Kit...

I don't really know what the offset is... maybe 40 or 42? I paid a pretty penny... ha... more than I'd like to say... but I just called them and told them to run whatever offset they felt they needed to run, but it must clear Brembos and just told him what lip size I wanted.

 

Hey Steve,

Those new shoes of yours are sick!! I am glad everything worked out fine and no rubbing. You should take some more pics because those rims deserves some more attention..hehe!!!

 

i meant he no longer has his wdp. he traded it for a black m3

 

Nice ride! I like the step by step photo thread. Mods looking good, especially those shoes.

 

Looking good, but do the headlights and set it off real proper-like as they are fucking up the theme!

Noooiiiice!

 

I have to say...
That's a damn sexy WDP.

I'd say WDP and NBP are pretty even.

 

Hey thanks for the help Ed. I see now that if I went with 245/35 20... I would been in a world of trouble. These just barely clear everything.

 

Wheels are sick bro, looks hott.

 

Sickkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

Loving it!

 

very clean
grille is perfect. blacked out center with body color trims. was thinking to do the same when i have extra time. looks very nice!
anymore front end shots of the car? wanna look more of your grille

 

your new wheels are phat!!! ride is looking good..

 

definetly looks good. I would go for the Honda Accord fogs
:thumb:

 

Clean rims! I wanted to ask what you used to paint your grill. Thinking about doing the same exact thing to mine.

Thanks!

 

very very nice

 

The color combo is perfect. Looks f'kin SICK

 

No worries bro!!

 

where do you live gatdammit?

 

We'll just say East Bay... I'm not around where you guys are.

Well I gotta confess that I didn't do it myself. But my buddy at the body shop said that the paint in the middle is nothing special, and he couldn't clear coat it or something b/c it's not a material that's meant to be painted. To tell you the truth, the black WILL chip a bit, and you'll have to get it touched up. He was doing work on my car and colored matched and painted the trim pieces for me.

Here you go...


And thanks everyone... I have done this with the assistance, information, and inspiration of this community. Thanks.

 

Taking these pictures really reminds me that I need a DSLR... oh well here are some more pics (she needs a carwash btw).









That's the size of a credit card btw... notice where the valve stem is too... apparently its location and the fact that I have TPMS was a lot for the tire mounting people to handle, but they got it done.
