Thanks Tebaz06TL . Mines a DD & winter sucks but that isn't stopping me from keeping my car clean & simple.

56k:
56K is like dial-up internet, sometimes phones are slow like that. When you don't have wifi, can't get a good 3G connection, or the edge connection is lagging on you lol.

not 56k safe?:
Reason behind me saying that my thread isn't 56k safe, is because I know there's people who use their phones to surf the net .

It turned out great, darker then what I would had thought with it being 50%. Plus it's legal, so that's a plus.

Thanks . I was told that the Nano-ceramic stuff has a slight tint of blue in it, making the tint itself darker. I think it's perfect & it's the legal percentage limit here .

May 14th, 2011: Special thanks to my brother for helping out with the Coilover install . We did most of it without the DIY write-up since he done his own coilover install on his IS350.

May 15th, 2011: Pictures taken right after I wash/wax/detail spray car. Also cleaned the wheels & applied tire shine gel .

May 19th, 2011: My G2 brake caliper paint system kit came in the mail today.

Brake pads are due for a change & I thought I'll give those brake calipers a new look.

May 20th, 2011: Went to pick up some Duralast Gold Cmax ceramic brake pads for both front/rear. Using the search button, I saw that many people recommended them. I however don't track or auto x my TL, so that's why I didn't feel the need to go all out with Hawk brake pads. I just wanted something better than the oem ones.

I'm in love with my ride height status . With spacer to make the wheels flush with the fenders, I would have to make my car higher .

Pictures of my ride after I: Polish, wax, & detail sprayed it .





5/26/11: de-badged the rear & plasti-dip the Acura emblem.


5/28/11:
Ordered the Type S tail-lights from Heel-toe & I'm currently trying to get the Type s trunk deck lip spoiler. If I can't get one, I will probably just pick up the regular trunk lip spoiler.
