Sad, with all the snow and it being -1 degrees I can't wash the car or the water
will become ice! (and doors frozen shut)

Like everything about the car except the wheels. I think the A-spec ones look better. IMO

 

Really? I wanted something different from the aspec wheels.... if i could have gotten the gunmetal wheels (from 04) then i would have..

 

looks awesome man, points for you!

 

i'd put the stock 17s on for winter...

 

stock 17s are gone

 

Niiice! How do you like that steering wheel? I debated getting one along with my A-Spec suspension, but wasn't sure I could justify the cost. Sure does look nice though, as does the rest of your car!

 

I like the car without the rear spoiler! Nice choice. Where is your old steering wheel?

 

Wow, still looking good even though it's not clean. Nice Car!

 

get black rims with chrome lip

 

I like it... its a little thicker than the stock wheel, so worth it.... get it all

 

Well, the deck lid spoiler is waiting for install...


Old steering wheel is in the basement

 

nice ride but the aspec wheels match better

 

I have seen the gunmetal wheels on Ebay a few times recently.

 

but why?!

 

Can't remember who, but someone posted that they had their steering wheel installed by the dealer and it was installed crooked. Did you have any trouble getting yours installed aligned correctly???

 

Didnt want to change wheels and tires every season..... :-\ sorry

 

Yep, the steering wheel was deff. off center - I took it in on monday for that, still off center, have another appointment tomorrow... but now, its either off center or the alignment is off - not exactly sure....

 

too late now

 

Nice ride. Are you going to put any tint on it?

 

yes... but the place that was reccomended to me doesnt know what moleskins are and said they use metallic tints (i have navi) and they wont use anything else....

 

Keep those wheels clean then man, salt will fade the finish of the wheels!


If you got a chance, clean the wheels real good, and put a couple coats of wax on them, that will protect them somewhat, and also makes brake dust clean up easier

 

Cleaned them a couple times this week... what kind of wax for them??? I never knew you could put wax on wheels lol

 

your favorite car wax works, I'd use Mequire's NXT, or you could use Zaino

 

I don't wax my own car.... and as much as I want to - people have told me not to start learning on a nicer car like the TL.. lol... I usuallyg get it detailed a couple times a year....

 

HEY VIKRAM!!!!!!! YOU DON'T NEED TO PULL APART THE ENTIRE CONSOLE AT ALL TO GET THE UNIT IN THE COMPARTMENT. BEWARE!!!!!! THE ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS STICK YOUR HAND IN THE TOP COMPARTMENT, PRESS DOWN, AND THE COMPARTMENT SEPERATES... 1..2...3.. VERY EASY... ENOUGH ROOM TO SNAKE THE WIRE THROUGH TO THE REAR OR DRIVERS FLOOR..

 

vikrampatel -

VERY NICE! Pictures look great, and you've done a super job on the car, congrats!

I've been up in the air about what wheels to go with (looking for a 18" with all seasons). I too am considering the Ronjon Inspyres, personally I think they're very nice looking wheels. The one part I'm not sure of is the 'flare' on the inside of the spokes, but none the less, VERY nice wheels. I was torn between the Inspyres and the A-spec wheels (much like you), and I believe I've decided to go with the gunmetal A-spec's, just look so nice on the Anthracite. I just happen to fall into a decent deal on a brand new set, so I don't think I can pass it up.

Again, well done! And thanks again for sharing your pics.

How do you like the Inspyres. I am seriously thinking about getting the same exact wheels. are those the 18s or 19s? I think the car looks great with those wheels. Great choice!!!

 

Thanks guys....

dnehemias - they are 18s

If I had to do it again, I would get the gunmetal rims... I love the inspyres... but the dealership is being stupid about any aftermarket wheels and mods... they are stupid... but i also think the gunmetal of the a-spec wheels are very nice

 

Just Bought A Antracite With Underbody Kit. Noticed You Chose To Go Without Any Rear Spoiler. Do You Like The Way That Looks?im Undecided

 

Inspyres Are 19's Not 18's Go To Ron Jon Website!

 

I wish i got the A-spec

 

huh? the ones I had are 18
