Looking good man! Get a Dremel or wire brush to get the rust off of the calipers

 

Also, i think if you sprayed the caliper black it would look 10x better!!
rust isnt a very pretty color...

 

Im really wanting to paint them black but i am going to wait until spring/summer. I also have an issue with my rear driver side caliper, I think the piston is seized. so that will need to be replaced. I may go out and just buy all new calipers for all 4 wheels. I want this car to last me a long time.

I know thats the plan! I may even get the RDX covers as well. havent decided yet.

 

it would be a waste of money if you replaced ALL 4 calipers.
just replace the side that is sticking, and upon further inspection it might not even be sticking just the sliders getting stuck.

 

^so if its seized just replace that one and not all 4?

 

yes.
replace only the broken one.
thats what I would do

 

ya id like to get the brembos up front but I dont feel like spending that much money on something that is strictly looks. my brakes work fine other than that rear one that only rubs the top half of the rotor. id rather have a j pipe or aspec kit

 

the automatic calipers actually stop shorter than the brembo counter parts.
this is because BBKs are mainly for brake fade and not stopping distances!

 

That's interesting stock calipers it is

 

Hendricks County huh? I saw your post in my midwest thread. If you end up needing any body work or paint I have your guy. Dude does sick work (Indy cars, F1 stuff) and regular for very good prices. Look up Paint by Jason on facebook. He is out near Stilesville. I'm dropping mine off to have him refinish my factory rims for me due to a locked up brake caliper.

BTW Camby/Mooresville area here.

 

Nice! I dont need any body work done yet, but Ill keep that in mind. I live in Avon/Plainfield area. u got a pic of your TL? any mods?

 

I need to get a couple. After it gets back from getting the wheels done I will post some. Nothing special right now just a NHB with 20% tint all the way around. I need to start a progress thread just been lazy.

 

gotcha ya ive just started myself, got the tint put on 3 days after I bought it. I hate driving a vehicle with no tint.

 

Should I get these??

Not really a mod but I got a bike rack for my other hobby

 

^^lose the plastic thing in the rear wheel for your cassette. useless weight. and go get that thing dirty. it's too clean for MTB.

 

Going tomorrow! It's been up and down on temps. The trails have been too soggy to ride.

 

your TL is going to handle like crap with the bike and the rack hanging off the back. just FYI. have fun and be safe riding!

 

I see quite a few TL in the city...but maybe only 3-4 that have been modded in some way. Maybe just 1 or 2 of those were done tastefully.

 

She's suggesting a roof rack, fyi.

 

^^nah, not suggesting anything...i'm just letting him know. you can't drive the car like you stole it with the hitch rack. my car still looks too damn naked without the roof rack.

 

It actually rides no different with it on. It doesn't make any noises at all I was surprised. I like it and i take it off when I get home. It's not something I'm gonna leave on all the time.

 

then you're not taking the corners very hard!

 

Shit I was I was up on 2 wheels!!

 

Bought these last night hopefully Ill get them this week so I can install them this weekend! 54* and 55* this weekend, hello spring time weather!!

 

before:


after ebay type-s sidemarkers:

 

Nice improvement! Why didn't you go with white leds, not feeling it?

 

This is just how they come as a unit. You can't swap out the LEDs inside it unless u took the lense off. They light up red like before. Now I want to get the type s tails.

 

Pretty sure brandon was talking about these zach:

good progress....i am growing to like that color

 

Very nice.

 

Nice upgrade! Type S side markers go great with AM. Type S tail lights next

 

look forward to the rest of the mods

 

Gotcha, ya I wanted the rears to match the front and keep it looking factory. These have the same lense as the front so they match the best and other than OEM type s side markers but mine only cost $60

 

nice oem canvas, bumper plugs do good justice and i've gotten mine stolen ><

 

Thanks! I was iffy on the color when I first bought it cuz I always had silvers vehicles, but I like it.

Thanks!

Thanks! Type S tails are in line to get next!

Its a slow process... but spring/summer is coming soon and ill be able to work more on it!

Thanks! I want to keep it close to factory looking and Ive gone over the top on other vehicles ive owned and all it did was make me not like them anymore. want just want a clean sexy looking car thats not over the top crazy.

 

Looking good. I will be picking up a set of thoe decals.

 

Looking good so far.

Debadge that sucka. Free mod.

And if you have an ipod look into ipod integration of some sort.

Also for those nice weather days look into the KP technologies window roll up module. Another cheapish mod that is nice in spring/fall.

 

Got bored this morning, as requested I debadged the trunk!



Kp tech window roll up module?? What's that?

 

Looks good.


The KP Technology module is a $59 mod that allows you to roll your windows back up from your key FOB.
