Styles109 Small progress thread

HELLOOOOO AZINE!

Just wanted to show off my little progress on the TL-S.

Bought her in July '12.





My first mod was some Crossed drilled rotors + new pads. Then came along TEIN SA Coils! I am very happy with them








Then had ZKW lens and amber delete + switchbacks!








Also put on Osram CBI and 5000k fogs.






I had also put on a NBP grille and side mirror courtesy lights. I do not have a pictures of those.

Awaiting to be installed:

1. Window visors
2. NBP Base front lip, Type S Aspec sides and rear.
3. 18x9 +25

TEASER:








Future plans:

Rear window visor
DIY diffuser
Maxima foglight projector retrofit

10mm more? +15?

And yes, A-Spec will make it appear a little lower

You'll be really low, just give it about 6 months happened to me too.

Both those colors are hawt! I vote purple so it's different and it's kinda dark like the car and wheels.

I love mine but I've kept them black.

If you'd like, look at Rockstar143's newer thread, he got them and painted them teal to match his Brembos.
