Very nicely done. I wasn't too sure about the gold VS on KBP, but it looks really good. Very JDM-ish lol. KBP is definitely one of my favorite colors, and the VS-XX is one of my favorite wheels

Thanks!
KBP's represent!
That was the look I was going for 
Really was afraid of the offset not sitting right, not clearing the brakes, and the fenders but it turned out alright. Caught a lucky break on this one
haha, throw me some stacks and she's all yours 
but yea I'll get those pics up once we get another few days of nice weather so I can do an 8 hour detail and get her nice and bling'd up

If you live in GTA and travel along Steeles, you'll bump into me sooner or later 
It's actually quite funny when you drive down a street and you won't know that a friend is in the next lane or going the other way until your car stands out from all the rest. On the way home from the shop right after the mods, I had 3 unrelated friends txt me saying they just saw me drive by.

They ride quite well for being so low and absorb a lot of the bumps even though they're on the hardest setting right now. I have a friend who went for a ride in it and his comments were, "This actually rides better than my gf's Mini Cooper S." which was quite a surprise to me. I highly recommend these coilovers.

not a fan of the shark fin, is there any benefit to that design? I would stay stock IMO.
Every time I see some one with a set up like yours I honestly think about doing it too. But I would be saying FML everyday I drive in NYC. Nice Ride. 2 thumbs up.

but thats the price to pay for good looks.Easier said than done. I'm just glad I got rid of the Brembo pads because these rims are sooo hard to clean. I actually had to buy a brush to get into the spokes. At least now with the Hawk HPS pads, there's considerably less dusting.

How much does the cutting cost?
There's a GB on the Super Computer Overlays going on right now as well.
The ride is looking amazing and definitely ready for the spring!
I think you've outdone last years Nextmod KBP one-time for TL's in Toronto (dare I say the rest of Canada).
Not sure if you've had a chance to test it out yet fully, but have you noticed a significant increase in higher speed maneuverability and turning with the conjunction of the BC coilovers and especially the Progress RSB?

Cutting is $150, shipping there and back is extra but only cost me a total of $40 so far using express post. But I still have to buy the actual wiring and backlight. This cost is only for cutting out the lines and letters of the aluminum.
As for the suspension setup, I'm still in the process of letting the shocks settle. Right now the car is setup for photoshoots and is quite low. I can't even take a corner faster than 30km without it rubbing the fenders so I can't give any details as to how the handling is until a raise the car a bit.

By the looks of the pics you have the 15mm spacers in both rear and fronts??

Thanks, if you mean by how much lower I can go, my rims get stuck in the fenders before I can max out the coilovers, if that helps. I had to camber my wheels for them to be flush with the fender.
Thanks! I'm going to be joining the TAC meet tomorrow at Square One in Sauga, so hopefully I'll get some more pics with other TL's.
The wait was killing me, but sadly we have winter here so I couldn't install any of the parts till the snow was gone.
