The S in TL-S stands for sunset...

If only I knew that it was going to be such a nice sunset I probably would have given her a wash. The weather today in the Northeast was crazy.

Anyway, here are some pics I took. All I need now are some lessons on taking pictures and some photo editing software...

Of course, Comments and criticisms are welcome

Morrissey, those are gorgeous shots! Any of those shots (except the next to the last one) could be your new Avatar. The only thing I'd do is Photoshop out some of the grass in the concrete.

Thanks for the compliment. I wasn't to sure about that last one either. I don't really know how to photoshop things out of pictures... If someone could do that for me I sure would like it. Actually, if someone out there has the skills to make any of these shots better I would appreciate it

Beautiful pics, love the Aspecs on the type S. They look much better than the stock type S waffles.

First all, I want to thank you guys for the positive feedback. I know how critical some of us Acurazine folks can be.

I wouldn't believe that sunset if I didn't see it for myself. It did look like fire in the sky. I just wish that I had more time to plan out the shots. I hate that my wheel is turned in a few of the pictures and like I said before, I wish that I had given her a wash. I could only imagine if some of the nicer cars and photographers on this site were there... then we would have had some money shots!!!

I agree with AA. The Type S wheels look like they were made for a Black, Anthracite or Silver TL's. Because they seem "low vis", the white, blue and red Type S's seem to look better with chromed up wheels...IMO.

I agree... The waffles are going to strictly be a winter tire for me. IMO the A-Specs are the best wheel to get. The are simple, not to flashy, and the look good when they are cleaned up.

A modest 1 inch drop provided by the A-Spec suspension... With the pot-hole ridden roads in the Northeast I don't have a desire to go any lower. This suspension is perfect for me.

Just off Rt 207 between Stewart Airport and the 5 Corners in Vails Gate. There is an abandon building in front of a Coca Cola Building. I just happened to drive by there with my camera when the sun was setting and it was a perfect backdrop. If you ever want to meet up I live right in that area.

That's what I was hoping it was! It looks great, and our roads in Chicagoland have to be just as bad as yours. I can't wait to get the A-spec susp. I just want to put a few more miles on my original one first, I'm only at 17k. Maybe summer of 2010 will be the upgrade. Thanks for the reply.

I think that they go by a couple of different names. When I brought them I was under the impression that they were called Ebony Chrome A-Specs. Some sellers might call them Satin Silver. I do know that they are not Chrome/Chrome look or the old Gunmetal. I remember seeing a thread that showed the differences between each type of rim. Let me look for it.
