Upgrades for '04...its like a new car now!

I was debating whether to upgrade my car and get one of the many new hot models out there these days and decided to upgrade the Acura. I'm very happy I did. It was a nice warm 60 degrees in Tulsa today and here are a few pictures. Wheels, tires, comptech rear sway bar, Supercomputer racings pedals, and A-spec body kit all installed in the past month. Hope you WDP lovers enjoy because I sure do.












Nice tight fit. Driven it hard and no problems so far for MT.


My winter mat is dirty but the pedals look pretty. I installed last night and WISH I would have had that 6MM socket...I spent 2 hours fiddling with those tiny nuts till I realized it was impossible with the gas pedal. The neighbor had a 6MM and I was kicking myself for not get the 6MM 2 hours earlier....oh well...still looks tons better than stock!

I here you but I want those G-35 peeps to be jeoulous of me....they don't look this good. I do like that G35 thought but not after the test drive...first gear MT is a bitch...at least it was in my test model.

Thanks everyone. I had plans to drop the car but I'm not so sure now. I think its looks great just the way it is. I'm worried about rubbing if I drop it plus any deterioration of the smooth ride. Too early to tell yet...give me some time to research it.

Looks good....

I like the wheels better from far away versus up close, I feel the curve of the spoke is too curvy....

WOAH... my new favorite! Those are hotttt. I'm not all into rims much (which would explain A-Spec rims lol) but those are really nice on the TL. I was orig. gonna get the G Sedan with the 19 inch coupe rims but my brother wound up doing that instead lol (I had a fight with the manager b/c of bad customer svc and thus refused to give Infiniti the satisfaction of my money for those wondering why).

Thanks Joey. I like the wheels more everyday.

As for the drop, I'm not feeling it right now. The wheels fill up the wheel well pretty well without the drop. I think I'll give it 6 months on stock suspension and read various posts in here about what other people are doing. Thanks for the comments everyone.
