Hey guy's ive been on azine for a while now and have made some decent progress with my car so i figured its time to do a progress thread. I'm not sure how to exactly do this so sorry if its a long post.

Bought my 08 WDP TL-S in 2009 with around 4k miles on it. Most of the pics I took myself so please excuse the poor quality.

This was the day I picked it up from the dealership and was eager to snap a pic with my phone.




The first mod I did was to get the windows tinted. I have 35% all around including the windshield.




Then I got Di-noc carbon fiber happy and did all the trim pieces in my interior.









Next I had an Injen CAI installed



After a 4 month period of no mods in a week I lowered the car on Tein Basics, got my roof painted black, upgraded my HID bulbs, and upgraded my fogs to PIAA yellow bulbs. Again I apologize for the bad photography.









This is one of the first decent photos of the car... credit goes to Tyler (CLtotheTL32)



Then I finally got wheels. After waiting months for them to arrive, I got Weds Maverick 110S.
Specs:
19x9 +21 front
19x10 +24 rear

I was really excited to take some pics and post the night/next morning I got them mounted. At this point I wasn't running any camber in the rear so they stuck out quite a bit. I still had to adjust the ride height and pull my fenders.







As of right now I have plasti-dipped the front grill, lowered the car more, pulled the fenders, and added -3 camber to the rear.







A full list of mods can be found in my signature. Any comments/criticism is welcome!

 

Looks good...really good. What's next?

btw, how much did you pay to have your roof painted...I've been seriously considering this instead of vinyl.

 

nice progress!!!!!!!!

although, it is a style or trend, i'm not feeling the itty bitty stretch.
over all, FUCKING HAWT CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm glad you made a progress thread Ravin! It's what the cool kids do

Your car looks great as usual. I'm glad I've been able to see your car in person on multiple occasions. I'll try to take more pictures of it next time I see it so you can add them to this thread

So what's next? Oh never mind, I already know

 

progress threads ftw! nice car, nice and simple the way it is

 

Very nice!!

Don't know how I feel about the plasti dip grill...

 

Looks real good man. Can't wait to see it on the 8th at jordan lake.

 

thanks man... aspec kit is prob next and then any major mods will be on hold while i take care of some stuff for transmission failure prevention and other general maint

thanks!
i get alot of mixed reactions when people see my stretch. its usually 50/50, either they love the way it looks or they hate it. either way i appreciate any kind of criticism both positive and negative. im not the type of person who will get butt hurt because someone disagrees with me like alot of ppl on azine do

yeah man im looking forward to the next meet up. im in the process of convincing my boss to let us do a shoot in front of the hotel which would be sick

thanks!

thanks!
honestly im not to happy about how it looks in pictures but i do like it in person

yeah man im pumped about the meet. im happy that im not rolling to meets on with bone stock car anymore


here is a link to another thread that is a mixture of shoots and Tyler (CLtotheTL32) and I have done over the past few months. and when i mean shoots i mean tyler taking awesome pics while i stand looking important lol

wow your car looks great! keep the progress comin and aspec kit is definitely a great choice

 

great looking car! I love this picture!

 

If times permits next weekend, we should get the three wdps together for a shoot.

I'm excited for the big meet too.

 

thanks man

yeah i just wish it was a clearer

yeah man im down for sure

 

Nice progress-I like the Carbon Fiber work....

 

How much hp?

 

^lol. Aspec lip kit + cleared headlights would complete it.

 

Five million.

And a half.

 

Omfg that second to last pic is the shit. Your car is fuh king cuh lean man keep it up!

 

looks fresh

I love the contrast of the yellow bulbs and headlights

 

thanks!

ive been meaning to do my headlights for the longest time. I have zkw-r's and switchbacks already and just havent found the time to do it.



thanks man

yeah i was iffy about it at first but once i got the bulbs in i haven't regretted it since

 

one mod that i really want to do but prob wont ever get around to doing is air ride. i know a lot of guys with air and after seeing it i really want it. any thoughts on air ride for our cars?

 

i absolutly love the fitment on those wheels ... so fuckin nice ...

 

thanks... i still think it needs some work

 

Do it!

 

i need some help deciding... im about to pull the trigger on an aspec lip kit. but im going for the VIP look for my car and I think the Type-s lip might be too sporty. Should i go ahead with the Type s lip or make a base lip fit. what do you think will fit better with the overall look of my car

 

Base lip

 

im just being biased.. BASE Lip just because i have one too haha

 

would there be any modification required to put a base lip on a type s bumper

 

i think the only mod is to flip the fog light housings. Type-s slants down while the base slants up. Here is mine with the base lip for reference.

 

doesnt seem to difficult

 

That's one of the best ways to identify a Type S as opposed to a Base TL.

 

I WANT MOAR LOW!!!! thanks to ACCURATein for the pic

 

I had a fun time watching you guys try to get up that ramp.

 

this is why i want bags lol

 

I'm sure there are some titanium specks on that ramp now.

 

Buy Jasons

 

i want to just cant right now

 

Man, looks great! I do really dig the painted roof. Clean stance too.

 

thanks man! im not totally happy with it yet but i think ive made decent progress towards my final goal

 

a photoshoot was done today and i think the pics turned out awesome... if you want to see them just log onto facebook and then click the link. i dont want to host the pics and post directly on here until i get the photographers permission and get high res photos
