Twin WDP Type-S

Hey guys,
Been lurking the forums since I first got the car back in October '11, rarely post though. Figure I might as well start

First off, I'm from Edmonton, Canada, so we get some pretty good snowfalls, this is what the TL's have to go through on a regular basis






My previous car before the TL was a '09 Corolla. HUGE difference in everyway, I do miss the gas mileage though lol



My Dad's '07 MDX Tech



Now to the main point! The Twins ! One belong to me and the other to a close friend/neighbor. I know most of you guys will clean up your cars before taking pictures but I kinda like the dirty look to it plus with the weather right now, it'd be just as dirty in 10mins after washing it








One is an '07 and one is an '08. Both car's are pretty much identical at this point except the '07 has winters on and has a alarm/starter. Both Car's are currently sitting at 60k KMs.

We both decided to do cosmetics before performance, which will start as soon as it gets warmer.

To do list:
Both:
Full a-spec kit
black acura overlay on the bumper
change all lights too LEDs
change headlights and fogs to 8k
rims
'07:
gloss black wrap on the roof
'08:
starter and alarm

If you guys have any ideas for us to do, let us know

Damn...pics like these remind me why I am so lucky to live in southern California. I would hate to drive a nice car in the winter, I don't even like taking my car out if its drizzling lol

Snow is a fact of life North of the border.
Weathers been pretty decent so far in Toronto but it ain't over yet.

Don't worry about the car being dirty and all given that its winter.
Your to do mod list will grow quickly though for sure.

I'm sure they're strictly for winter. I wouldn't want to ruin my wheels in the snow/ice with driving conditions like that!

16s i believe? but like someone else said, only for winter, stocks will go back on in spring, and hopefully i'll grab a new set of rims and the stocks will become winters.

Got around to plasti dipping my car last night, turned out not bad, probs gonna redo it though when its done on the other TL. Same time that the rims and a-spec go on, so 3-5 weeks. It was just getting nice here but its snowing hard outside right now lol

I'm pretty sure those are 2007+ 17" CR-V steelies. I'm surprised they fit over the Type-S brakes.

Starting to get nice out, alot of summer wheels/cars and bikes are starting to show up here, even though its suppose to snow tonight lol.

Getting the party started


putting on the ASPEC, we were 100% clueless as how to install it btw, took forever lol





plstidipped the emblems also



These are both different cars, I havent gotten the ASPEC yet.



Decided to take off those winters that you all seem to dislike so much lol



Also changed all the lights to LEDs, no pictures yet though

Never knew this thread existed lol. ^That's next door to me haha.

Nice job on the install. I don't think the look of the TL-S a-spec front will ever grow on me though. Plasti-dip adds a nice touch too.
