G'damn girl...you got a paint shop in the family!??!
ATLP V2 is going to look great on your car.

I am INFATUATED with my DW's...I can't believe a low profile tire can be this quiet, ride this smooth, handle this well, be this confidence inspiring in the rain...AND seem to have a long life ahead of them.

Nicole, LOVE the color of your car! Do the roof spoiler. Also consider painting your engine covers pieces red too.

That car looks great! Can't wait to see the CF lip kit you're planning on making.

Did you get that krud off the black chrome bar? I'm interested in seeing how it turned out.

Your car looks amazing with that color! The wheels and drop just fit perfectly

You should combine both of your threads (https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/whats-your-flavor-856098/) so you can have one hell of a progress thread

Hahaha because I'm a girl I can't have a genuine thought? Maybe I should send you pics of my 04 STI or RHD DC2...I can rock with the rest of them..I bought this TL-S in Carbonbronze Pearl off the showroom floor in 08...

I was thinking Lucifer Orange for the shrowds...but if I go supercharged and end up getting the CF Red/Black weave. They're staying black!

I special ordered the hardware so I'm waiting patiently.....

The boyfriend painted it red for me as a surprise in April and it was all over from there....I looked for wheels for almost a year before seeing these on a S2000 at a NJ Meet...Paint Job created a monster...now I can't stop. Can't wait for the next build after I'm done with this Sunday driver!
