Yeaaaaaa....

A Few weeks back i decided it was good weather to go head and install my A-Spec kit on my 08TL-s .. then a couple weeks later(this past weekend) the weather was great so i decided to go head and Drop it like its hot. The car looks so much better in person so.. enjoy!!










Dropped on TEIN Basics .. overall it was an easy job for the kit and suspension. On a scale of 1(easy)-10(hard) it was a 7 and the suspension was a 6. Thanks for looking Comments welcome!.

Very nice. How's the ride quality with the new drop? I was thinking about going the TEIN Basics route as well.

thanks everyone.. the ride quality is pretty good. If you wanna control from hard to soft i suggest gettin the TEIN SS.. but if you just want a basic drop then this is a great way to go. Im Def. gonna get it detailed.. waitin for my homeboy to get his shop together to get it done. Like i said this car def. looks soo much better in person and i've thought about the black roof but unsure yet.

Rear looks lower than the front though, or is it just the pictures?

Either way, car looks great!

Gawd I love that color. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have planned for it.

Am I the only one who thought of Lil Jon when seeing the thread title?

thanks guys!.. the car was on an incline when the pic was taken thats why the rear looks lower.. but i made sure it was even.. i readjusted the front again today and made it a little lower just for my purposes. Im not sure if i wanna do any performance modifications to this vehicle cause its my daily and im tryin to steer away from this whole race stuff. My previous vehicle was an 05 s2k but due to a family i had to sacrifice ..=( lol .. i only plan on doin the navi-tv and maybe some little small stuff.

Exterior:
-OEM A-Spec KIt
-Window Tint

Lighting:
-3000k HID Fog light kit
-V-leds interor conversion/License plate

Suspension:
-TEIN Basics

Boom BOOM:
-JL audio w3 10inch
JL audio 2/250 amp

SOoo i went to the dealership today and there's a speed bump entering the parking lot. I thought i'd be able to clear it but nope.. almost got stuck and it scrapped the passanger side but major no damage.. just bent a metal rail.

lowered cars look so much better. Too bad with the roads around where I live and how the entrances are everywhere (almost every parking lot has a dip at the entrance to them) i could never lower my car.

Agreed. They look out of place now.

Yellow bulbs > yellow film.
