Been lurking the forums for some time even before i got my tl... always wanted one.. got myself an 06 base wdp about 2 months ago and couldnt be happier! Cant wait too do some upgrades too her!
When I bought it I had went and bought type S wheels the same day.. I bought the car from my boy and he had some real nice 2 piece 19' wheels that he kept... I always wanted waffles though and got them for a steal
Car is lowered on F&F type 1s..
Other then that all Ive done so far is change the tails to 07-08 base
Thanks you guys! Too low for your liking lol I wanna put some 18s on it! but I dont rub rt now barely and it rides real good and i know if I go bigger with the same drop ill need thinner tires.. Besides that though Id like either clear or black out the light housing and clear out the amber of the headlight and do carbon fiber corners.. as well as rear smoked side markers... and trying to find an aspec front and rear.. I found a brand new kit the whole thing but its black and dude wants 700$ firm
And btw what do i clean the exhaust tips with? I think i accidently cleaned some of the black paint off on the inside but i wanna the outside and lip of exahust too be shiny Ive read on here before about what too use i think it was steel wool? Not sure though. SOrry for the newb question
Thanks^^ So thinking of new wheels.. will 18x9.5 all around be alright.. dunno what tires to go with though.. i want 235/40 idk if i would rub though.. i know i would need more fender roll since i have just a bit.. any input?

This fellow Aziner (https://acurazine.com/forums/photogr...-879051/page2/) runs 19x9.5 +40 with no fender roll required, and I believe he's on 235 tires as well. You could do the same with 18x9.5 +40 with no problems. I believe you could get away with no roll with 18x9.5 +35 as well which is a fairly common fitment, but don't quote me on that one!

Bar Keepers Friend, straight from the grocery store. GuitarPlayer16 has a thread on it if you want to see a write-up on how to do it.
I was driving the northstar before this thing sure burns oil! Haha but other then that it is great. And in Inland Empire.. The rims i got are 18x9.5 +22 and I dont mind if i need them rolled but I want it too look good and I think I am going to go with some 235x40..
Any recommendations?
And got a few more things for the TL.. some interior leds.. and some visors i have too put on : )
looks great, minus the sticker on the front windshield.
Been there since i bought it never took it off lol
And i love the waffles, been looking for some aspecs though cannot wait to buy some.. and thank u guys.
The latest things I did was REtint my windows, new front camber kit w/control arms and new rear camber kit, aspec lip kit, new lugs, got a few things re painted, and readjusted suspension.. not too much but work in progress i like where it sits right now, just patiently waiting too find some aspecs
And i made the rear 0 camber but the front is 1.7.. think imma do the back 1.7 too ill be a little lower in the back as well, but keeping rear tires is nice too i guess lol
few more

So, was thinking maybe varrstoen mk7s? 18x9 +30 front and 18x10 +25 rear, i had 9.5+22 in the front before and i didnt like how wide it was and i had a 225/40, so im thinking the 9 and 30 offset will fit good in the front with a little bit of camber and the rears will look and fit great, but not sure what tire size to run with the current height im at now, any suggestions? 235/35? 225/35? 215/40? thank you
