You have any day pics? I want to see how those 255/35/19 fits in the rear. I am running 19x10.5 and thinking of running 265/30/19 tires at the back.

They're actually 255/30/19 in the rear and 265/30/19 should be fine for a 10.5. Whatever your rim size is, if you go two sizes down on the tire, you will get the same stretch/curve as mine.

Ebay Roof Spoiler, they also do color matching if you give them color code.

I wish I could, but it's been raining almost everyday here in Toronto. And my next weekend (Tues/Wed), it's forecast to rain again fml. On the bright side, this gives my photographer friend some more time to build his rig so we can do rolling shots. In the mean time, we'll all have to wait patiently and see when the weather will let up a bit for a nice photoshoot.

Thnx! I'm luvin those lugs, they match the rims really well. When I walked into Nextmod and saw those, I was like MUST HAVE. And then when I asked them what price they were, it was more like , ok maybe have. But didn't regret getting those cuz anything less would be a disgrace for those rims.

Thnx Jptl04, I'm saving up for those amps and subs right now, and maybe a 360 but I dunno where I'm going to scrounge all this money from lol. I look at ur vid all the time, and just want all that done to my car!!
I'm still waiting on my sills to arrive, can't wait to see those in person. I'm also getting confused by the site that I'm supposed to order the back-lighting from. Don't know which one I'm supposed to get, there's so many different types. I gotta contact Steve (the sill cutter) for more direct links.

Sadly there were only two other TL's there and one was just a stock TypeS, and the other was a dropped base TL with cracks and scratches all over it.

Rims were $2500 used off eBay. It took me 2 months to even see a set of 19' VS-XX on there. And the tires I got from Steelecase Tires for $1600. They're Toyo Proxes T1S (sport).

An update on the suspension setup:

I just had the shop do the alignment after the shocks have settled and change the ride stiffness of the BC Racing coils and WOW what an improvement. I now have the front 8 notches from the softest setting, and the back 4 notches from softest. The car rides smoother than the Type S suspension even with the drop I have. I also had the shop install the ingals rear adjustable lower arms which fixed the toe of the rear tires. The camber was changed from -2 degrees to -3 to make up for the softer suspension and now the car doesn't rub even with a much softer ride. I'm now extremely impressed by these coilovers. I always thought lowering the ride meant sacrificing ride comfort, but BC Racing proved me wrong. Highly recommended!!

His name is Steve, I don't know his username. He has started a post about custom cutting the sills. Try to find the post and see if he will do more. He told me that he is switching companies so he has no access to the cutter anymore.

They're from ddm tuning. I bought the 6k kit with ballast but I do not recommend getting anything from there. I purchased 2 kits from them and they both broke within a few months. And one of my hid bulbs are giving out as well.

The sills are dope. Get some steel wool for the scuffs, theyll still keep their brushed aluminum look. Get the variety pack, start with a fine grade. And if you need go rougher. Do the whole sill though to get them to look even. Where are you getting the el strips from?

That's where I need your help. Steve has a bunch of sites on his invoice but I don't know which one's I'm supposed to get. Do you have any direct links where I can just buy 4 of them and hook it up to a 12v power supply?

Hi Ch33sE1, as a new member of Acurazine and a new owner of a 2007 WDP TL, your TL is just what the doctor has ordered...man, those pictures are enough to tempt me to go on wild shopping spree and just do some major mods on my TL right away! I live in Sciberia also, right off on Ellesmere and Brimley...I figure, since I've been away from the Car mod business for a very long time, I must admit, I am now a noob since owning a Ferrari Yellow CRX which I have competed in some U.S. cities a very long time ago. I admire peeps like you who can put bits and pieces together and eventually put up a major show...nicely done. I am picking up my 2007 TL tomorrow or Saturday at Roadsport Honda while they are working on installing brand new rotors, brand new break pads on the car. They're also doing some major touch ups on the bumper itself and no extra cost at all to me...first order of mod is to tint up the windows. I also want to work on getting an RJ body kit or at least the lower body kit for starters (i'm going to practice as much prudence as I possibly can). Is your body kit an RJ? If so, where did you buy it from and how much? Also, did you have them installed in Sciberia?

Thnx for the compliments. I've worked long and hard gathering the right parts for this car. The kit is not RJ, it is the 07-08 Aspec kit. I'm not a big fan of the RJ kit because of the rear bumper, it makes the trunk look like its opened all the time. You can get the A-Spec kit online from AckTL05, don't know if it comes painted but you'll have to ask him about that. I searched for a TL with it already equipped so I didn't have to spend more on kit/install/paint.

what up Ch33sE1. Car looks sick. Thanks for the updated pics. I just got my A-Spec installed and painted. Not sure if you got my msgs but all good I got it worked out. I'll most likely be going with some black rims for my KBP. Thanks for the extra motivation man....
