those would be louvers, not window visors

i know the visors aren't for everyone, but i like them. i'm a smoker, so they're convenient on rainy days

thanks for the kind words though man!

The whole car is perfect!! I like the fact that it has no A-Spec kit, and still it stands pretty much alone!! What wheels are those?

thanks guys! i'd love to have an aspec kit for the car, but parts have already started going discontinued in CBP. plus, I don't like the type s front lip, so if I do get a kit for the car, it'll have the 07-08 base lip that I'll "massage" to fit the type s bumper.

the wheels are Privat Akzent's. ricey name, i know lol

you're super-duper extra low, you'd probably be a good person to ask about this.

car rubs pretty good still on the bumper/fender tabs behind the front wheel liners. i've ground them down to the edge of the screw head that fastens the bumper to the fender, but it still rubs.

what'd you do with yours? relocate? grind almost all the way down and hold with a ziptie? what are my options? if i can make it not rub at all up front, i'll spin these coils the rest of the way down...which is only another 3-4 threads or so.

I've actually seen your car before a few times...I think you work right near me(corporate park in shelton??). I JUST bought an 08 TL-S, Carbon Bronze Pearl...17k miles. Car is mint. I'd love to meet up with you sometime after work and check your car out. I'm looking to get some tints extremely soon. Where did you go for yours/would you want to meet up some afternoon soon? I work in Tower 1.

i suppose you could relocate the tab, but it shouldnt be needed..i just grinded it down as far as possible and had my camber maxed out..i still rubbed the tab on certain inclines/full lock etc. but it wasnt too bad.

i cut the fender tabs and ground down the bumper in that area where the bumper and fender meet. then i heated it up and pulled the front corner with a phone book. i now barely rub (only on major inclines).

From the shots of the Frog Bridge, I would think you were in Willimantic.....

We need to get together for a shoot sometime. The car looks great for a "winter beater", lol.

Very nice!! If you run 215/35/19 tires up front you should clear from rubbing. 225/35/19 you might be able to get away with too.
