Here we go, my bro and i just got some new rides, cars are dirty and we only had a happy snapper but the shots still turned out ok. Cars need a wash bad!
Anyway, let me know what you guys think, just got my Tein's installed.
Lowered the car about 1.3 inches and I cant believe how much better my ride got.
Type S really needs this drop, car is so much more fun to drive, no comparason how much better it corners and the over all feeling is amazing.

Thanks, doing cold air intake next and then headers for sure.
Also thinking of 70% tint all around and I really want to send out my headlights to http://www.lightwurkz.com/, want to get rid of the orange on the side and get them halo's.
Going to take some better pics over the weekend, at the under ground parking lot we scoped out with my bro. we just need a better camera and clean cars.
Going to race then head to head soon, who is taking bets?

.:KCCO:.
you are correct as usual Ron!
unfortunately, our headers are welded on. NO BOLTS! there are no headers that can be placed on the vehicle unless you want to cut out the old ones and get custom ones made.
after changing the headers on my last car, that's the best bang for the buck. it's awesome, unfortunately, not for 3rd gen owners

yea, you guys are right, no headers yet, but the local shop around here (JPR) told me they are coming.
Hey Ron, just wanted to say that I love your work, I really want a full kit from you.
I was driving a tsx before and now the tl-s , please make a body kit for the 07 tls.
Thanks.

Flow cats are up next, and then i have to spend some money with ronjon.
Cant wait for his 07 tls bodykit, and thats going to cost since i have to get rims with it.
Where do i go for the liscense plate bulbs?

yea, I know, we're good. but look at the RX8, covers a good amount of intake, but you're right , 70% of air is getting scouped from the bottom on most cars.
