How are you liking the ATLP exhaust and J pipe?
roof spoiler i already have, just waiting to wrap the roof to install it, also i love the ATLP, had XLR8 on the 3G, love the look and sound of the ATLP, got the non resonated and love it!

You need a bit more black peeking out to compliment the two sections around the fogs. Looks like the paintjob turned out great though!

Edit: I think if you would've left the two stripe you painted white, gloss black and the chrome around the grille stock it would look better.

Props for trying it out and being the only one. I figured it was gonna be too much white seeing the pieces painted. Your car, your Tatar though at the end of the day. The rest if the car is great!

Any plans for suspension and wheels yet?

Wheels were custom ordered and to my requested specs, you don't buy wheels to fit the car you make the car fit the wheels! They are really low offsets only person I know possibly running lower is Fyah but he won't disclose his.

Quarters will be rolled and alittle pull and some camber

That's similar to mine but offsets are +25 rear and +16 front. I could care less. It helps the rest out. I don't get why people won't disclose. Afraid people are gonna try and copy their car? Most of the 4G guys don't run really low offsets, excessive camber and stretched tires. I'm not in that percent tile. But without the specs. Still looks good.

Ooops didn't realize you asked the specs. I don't mind disclosing mine either I did 20x10.5 all around +25 and +15, I'm sure nobody else will do similar cuz it will require work to make them fit!

But on the plus side more car parts came in today!!!!

Why fortune coils? I've only heard about them from another member on here, are you familiar with their product?

I'm gonna say because you can have them custom built to your preferences. Unlike Tein... I've heard good reviews on them from other forums and one friend who has them for his S2000 CR. Do they have the adjustable camber on the top for the TL?

I actually went with custom BC Racing Coils with Extreme drop kit and stiffer spring rates. Haven't installed them yet since I'm waiting on my camber kit to arrive. Ran the basic BC's on my TSX and they were perfect.

i went with fortune because they are well known for good quality, i loved my teins on the 3G but once you go low they get bouncy, Teins arent ment for slammed cuz when you max them out they springs dont have preload so they ride like shit, Fortunes have a set preload that doesnt change and i can max these out and still ride the same. plus they offer custom spring rates for no additional costs.

Not bad on how much you spent for the amount of parts and quality you have selected. I can't wait to see the finished product. I want to see what ag function wheels you selected.
