Yeah finally I am allset with leds.
I still have normal bulbs for front signal though.
I ordered and returned couple orange bulbs, didn't like the output.
My rear tower 18smd red signals for rear are amazing, best ones I ever had.
I ordered the orange ones for the front, but different bulbs came in, I mean brightness was low.
So mailed him, waiting for a reply.
I installed the red one to front signal, output was way more than the normal signal bulb.
If he sends me exactly same ones in orange, will not go with triton leds

SRI in general doesnt make sense to me (even though am running an SRI)....the only reason am getting away with it is because its 4" wide
and the IAT sensor is relocated....
Come summer I am looking into converting that to a CAI, I think i know how to fit a 4" wide pipe thro that small hole
so yes, if you plan to convert your SRI into a CAI, Approved !!!

Congrats on the new CAI. I have the same one. I didn't attach that bottom bracket though. I saw too many threads about that bracket breaking off and ripping a hole in the side of the intake tube.

Pulled the trigger after I saw you bought it
Yeah I read that too about bracket. Well, I guess I will cut mine to that point anyways. I want bigger filter, well, wel'll see what happens.
hahahahahahahah
Thanks Anil and Steven.
That A-Spec kit is the magic, can't describe how I love looking at the car from each angle.
Awesome. Now I understand the people that always mention it first at modding TL
Guessing tint will give that feeling too.. especially on this color
Still didn't extend the exhaust tips. When I get in there, I will want to install new tips but don't know whichhhhhh
Ummmm, I ordered V3 triton
I have to get those new compliance bushing or whatever in there ASAP too..


Before and After / Today


OK last edit
Place I will get tint installed, I will ask them if they do vinyl black roof.
Not sure If I should go for it or not. With tint it might look complete

Meko, I am personally not a fan of the wing....my car came with the wing and I swapped trunks (
) with another Azine member and got the lip....
i thought the wing makes the rear look smaller by adding height to the trunk...I wanted a wider look...yes the wing is a little more "exclusive" if you will....not many have a wing....but as they say, "to each his own"....

I think the wing flows with certain setups, bone stock it looks odd...J pulls it off because his car is so aggressive looking. I think if you lowered it and got wheels it would help a lot.

^^^ I think J's car is more "flush" and Aaron's or John's car is "aggressive"....see the camber/offset/rim setup....
try putting a wing on either Aaron's car or John's car and it will look weird...
yes, lowered + wheels + aspec kit + wing = SEXY...i agree
but lowered + very aggressive wheel setup + aspec kit + wing, might not look as good...
infact at times, I still tell Jeremy to remove the wing as without it, his car looks cleaner, flows better....
but again, to each his own....am just stating my opinion and not bashing anyone or anyone's setup....its your car, mod it to your liking....just thought i make it clear LOL

if you meant "mean" looking....i agree....it is very stealthy and mean looking....
when you said aggressive, I thought you were talking about wheels/etc...my bad...

Look at Tyler's rear end. F*ck now I got it why I like it, wider look
Lip might destroy it on his color though
On black you don't notice it always, so you do pass with "wider look" license

---
If you guys ask me, wing is good enough with A-Spec, but if you are lowered...golden
Rims make the whole car look much and much better. That plays big role on the car. So too big role to compare wing to it
But nice rims on, car will look nice with wing, lip or without

Reason suspension was pushing was the installing.
But now, what I am saying to Tein is..


Thanks John!
Why does this say damper control?
I thought the cheap one was just height adjust.

Time for tint is coming. Should I make them wrap the roof to black too?
Can't decide
Oh man

MEKO, coils, NOW. 
Ironic you all are having a wing discussion in here...I got the itch again and removed mine last night.
I'm getting REALLY good at cutting out weird shapes out of vinyl to cover up the holes. I agree and appreciate all the compliments btw...my car is mean as fk. Takes no sh*t from anyone...a real man's man...NOTHING like it's owner and driver who is a tremendous pu*sy!
I'm torn, some days I think it adds to the look and balances the car and matches the lines perfectly, other days I'm all "meh" about it.

That is QUOTE WORTHY right there !!!
I agree on all fronts here, Jeremy's car being mean....Aaron's and John's being aggressive....Jeremy pulling off the wing very well....
the only thing I disagree on is, why Tein Basics??? You can get XLR8 ISC N1's for 150 more and they come with top hats and offer dampening adjustment and preload adjustment and a 1 year warranty and your install will be a breeze

John, I didn't check the weather yesterday
and dammit it says snow today and rain on Monday 
Saw your Filthy pictures John, clean that beauty

Top hat's.. that was the reason I wanted ISC but with shipping it comes to $960 @ XLR8
No idea about the new one with EDFC
Thanks Aaron, hopefully

J, coils now and then I come down there and take your rims

Anil, I want N1 too but it's not $150
N1 with shipping comes to $960
Tein 693 shipped @ amazon
http://www.amazon.com/GSA80-1USS2-St.../dp/B009V14AKU
660 shipped on some other website
I want to see a purple, white and black in one picture

Meko, check out the chops from John....John, can I please request for a chop without the rear spoiler please

Also, Meko, I didnt know the ISC's were 960....for some reason I was still under the impressions they are $850 shipped....check the BM, I know someone was selling it for 800 or 825 shipped
on heeltoe, use the coupon code "swoosh" it saves a little more than "Acurazinerocks" (either rocks or rox)....I would highly suggest ordering from a vendor as it helps them and in turn they help the forums....
send Marcus (heeltoe) a PM and he will price match for you
