Good eye, haha. My S2K is back to stock for now and mostly sits in the garage as I hardly drive it anymore; just not very practical when I have to pick up my kids from school and other familly related errands. I'm going to mod it again and I did have some minor mods to it before (Work Meister S1s, OEM hardtop, intake/exhaust and suspension):

Thanks! I regret selling those Work wheels (as well as my hardtop) as the order for them took 4 months to come in. Oh well...

Thanks for the comments! I'm not on here as much as everyone else but I always remember your white TL and how clean it looks.

Oh and my S2000 is actually an AP1 (2000-2003), the AP2s are 2004-up.

Thank you sir! And shit I meant to type AP1. I was being distracted by my girlfriend talking my ear off about what she's going to wear tonight

Anyways, both cars look great! Any other plans for either car?

I think I'm done with the TL as I want to keep it simple and as OEM as possible. Looking into a Mugen hardtop and a new set of wheels for the S2K and that's about it for that one as well aside from finding time to take it road-racing. Thanks again for the comments!

Both cars look great! Gunmetal against the WDP is a winning combination for sure

Thanks for the comment! Your 4G is the best I've seen so far in terms of looks.

There's a distant resemblance in the fact that they are both wheels with twin 5-spoke designs but apart from that I wouldn't mistake one for the other and vice versa.

I've found in the last couple weeks that the wheels are hard to keep nick free. I guess the extra .5" really makes these wheels more prone to misc. road debris damage, big and small.

Car info? Not sure what you mean. Is there a Facebook for cars or something? If you're wondering about mods, I don't have much done on the TL; just kept it simple.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that combo before somewhere. Your own car is not too far off, haha. Maybe a search will turn up something. I do have a photo of a KBP TL-S 6spd on stock suspention with A-Spec wheels and A-Spec kit if you're interested.

For the perch level, it's down one setting up front and the rear is untouched.

These are 18x8.5 so the only color available in this width was gunmetal.

I used the caps off of my TL-S wheels. I didn't really like the chrome-ish emblems on the caps that came with the A-Specs.
