Red face Small Update For 2011
Hi folks,

Im "relatively" satisfied with my car nor do I have money to blow so only a small update for this season: added some spacers for the rear. Pretty conservative compared to what most have as I prefer to maintain a certain level of drivability (insert generic excuse about bad roads )

Specs are:
F: 18x9.5 +38 with 235/40
R: 18x9.5 +23 with 225/40

Photos by Bill (vc123)


*light always fogs up after a wash. An issue that needs to be fixed this year*

Wow. It's funny how a stock base DMM screams "50-yr old driver", but a nicely modded one looks bad-ass. Nice whip.

So true, I dig the color ! I would like to see what a DMM painted wheels would look like too. Maybe too much though

Correct. Matte Gunmetal finish. I've been drooling over these wheels for over a year now.

Thank you folks for the kind words. Lugs are Work RS nuts that came with the wheels, it was either blue or red and I chose blue.

I see the tail markers as a small touch and not enough to justify the change. I do want some accord fogs though.

I think your car would look better without the fogs UNLESS you did a full front 07-08 Base swap

Very clean, nice drop/combo... I feel you on the drivability factor too...the main reason I probably won't be dropping my TL anytime soon.

Rare color!

A very clean TL. We gotta meet up again as soon as it gets warmer.
The rims have to be seen in person to fully appreciate the concavity!

I'd recommend the sidemarkers too.
An easy mod that pulls the exterior together imo.
Only took me about 15 minutes to get both sides in taking my time as well.

Always loved this TL. Perfect stance IMO. Did you have to roll any fenders for this set-up?

Yup. Everybody staggers the "wrong" way. Why not stagger the "right" way for FWD

All 4 fenders are rolled
