Type S front lip and Brembos
 
What up folks?! Been a member for a while. Here some updates on the TL. It's an 08 base. Added Brembos with Tein Flex Z coils and Konig Illusions 18x8.5. 25mm spacers all around to give it a little better fitment. Looking to replace them with some 18x9.5s or 18x10s soon.

After a while, got a Type S front lip. Had it sitting in my shed for a good 4 months before I got time to put it on.

List of things to do:
-Possibly rear lip
-18x9.5s or x10s
-headlight mod(Might be taking the amber out with some new lenses and a 55w HID kit)
-Jpipe
-exhaust(most likely just mufflers for the time being).
-next year...possibly supercharger....

Yep. Another reason I'm glad I got it put on. Lol. And the fogs are yellow LEDs already. Just not the lens.

Hahaha! I know. The sides are already in play. One of the guys I know at work has them. I'll be getting them for like $150. Just need to get them. Might get them this month. Not sure on the rear lip since That will cost me $350+$150 for paint. I've been putting money into my photography business. We'll see tho. Have to get the daughter's TSX fixed first. I do want the rear lip tho.

Really now? That's interesting. How did you come to figure that out? If it's a direct bolt on that means you're using the smaller 300mm rotor?

One of my friends put a lot of work into researching what brakes and rotors fit. The rotors are from the Nissan Rouge w/3rd row. Not sure on the rotor size. I think it is bigger.

That’s some great research to find a direct bolt on.

ive been researching myself for a rear brake solution and it’s a bit of a headache too😂

I'm sure it is. I need to replace my brake pads and rotors in the rear as well. I honestly will just put the Brembo covers on those. Lol.
