^ you just don't stop do you. listen to yourself.. grow up

 

Last time I checked - standing up for yourself is being a grown up. I didn't start it. But also feel free to explain where I was immature. I don't take shit from people in general, although the internet is kinda one of those black holes when it comes to this. I'm also very blunt and straightforward, some people may take that as antagonism, simply because they themselves are 'too nice' to say similar things. I'm not a very nice person tho.

Apologies Jon for the bullshit on this thread.

Slade feel free to PM your response and we can vacate Jon's thread of BS.

 

haha Yeah guys. Settle this in the rambling section

 

Nothing new except the pic after the wash today.

 

You got me thinking about that sti lip, not sure if i should get it, not sure excatly how it looks. If you dont mind can u take pics of the lip? just focusing on lip from various angles so I can make a decision?

 

Yes sir. Will do tomorrow.

 

thanks!

 

waiting on you big dawg!

 

Well I did say I'd do it tomorrow (now today).
That was only last night at 10pm.
And it is now only 11am today so give me some time. Lmao
It's been 13 damn hours for which 8 I was asleep.

 

hahahaha true true, no pressure!!

 

Damn. Is it me or did Ib just destroy this Web page format over night?

Ragd.it was a rainy day in so Cal yesterday. Today looks to be sunny so I'll get those pics today for sure.

 

Hope these help. If you need another shot describe what you want to see and I'll do my best.

Above you can see where I cut the lip to fit.


You can see here I just bolted the sti lip straight into the OEM lip/bumper. Yes this will ultimately put a hole in your OEM lip but its underneath where no one sees.


Fitment is pretty decent.


One more with the camera on the ground.

Again, I hope those help you decide!

 

Alright now three more of my own edited pics.

Love how the amber fogs match the turn signals.

Dat Work Wheels lip though! Really liked the shadow I got on the tire under the fender.

Clean clear fogs when the ambers are turned off. Rear could use some more positive camber.

 

Nice!! thanks a lot!

 

love those 3 shots jon.. your wheels are soo sick bruh. and yes your right some more pos camber in the rear ...

 

this is awesome, as a fairly new owner of 2.0ilx, this is great for ideas.


Your ILX is looking great!

 

Howdy neighbor,


When are we getting together, so you can help me get rid of the nasty yellow DRL on my wagon, with your light expertise

 

Money shots. Great job!

 

Thank you sir. I love these wheels. Can not wait to replace the outer lips and get new hardware. The lips are maybe 1inch wide now being 8in wide wheels. Going to 2.5in lips for 9.5in wheels will be so sick. At that point I will need more negative camber in the front then probably just rock the rear as it sits now. But until then some positive camber in the rear would actually make them look less sunk. I'll need to roll the inside fender tab though first.

Thanks! Glad to help give ideas if possible. Message me if you have any questions. Hope you enjoy your ILX!

Hey man. Why are your DRLs yellow? Do you mean like the halogen yellowish tint?

Thank you. I need to put some money into a camera. These are nice I think for a smartphone. But I see pics like what Rockstar puts out and I'm like fuuuuu these pics of mine are so grainy and undetailed.

 

Cuz ghetto Acura gave me ugly yellowish halogen

You can use my camera
I have lenses flash
Big body dslr cannon
Umbrellas
Lights

I barely use them

 

JON - DON'T DO IT!! The camera is setup in his basement along with children's toys.... He doesn't use it as much after the last time the Diocese caught him.... Isn't that right "father"?

The invite is a setup!... Next thing you know, he lost his puppy in the back of the basement, and he needs your help finding it.... then he spills juice all over your pants and offers to throw them in the wash on the spot.... IT ONLY GETS WORSE FROM THERE BUDDY... DON'T DO IT!!!
IT'S....
IT'S....



Sorry, couldn't help myself.

 

hahahahahahahahahaha I just died

 

Feel free to pick up the camera equipment, use it, and return at your leisure. LA houses don't have basements

 

Oh whoops... I meant secretly hidden sex/rape dungeon...

 

Nice shots. Love the yellow fogs on, clear off.

 

Car looks like shitt








































very very good shit

 

Thanks buddy; I'm coming from a 04 TL that was mostly stock other than real minor things. I'm not planning on going crazy for a long time but the first piece of business is some coilovers to get out of 4x4 mode.

 

Hey Jon. Just stopping by to say that I like the things you do.

That is all.

 

Oh wow. Thanks. Sadly I have never owned nice equipment so I wouldnt even know how to start using it!

Thank you! I really like it as well. Looks clean while they are off and aggressive with the amber on. I honestly just wish I could have them on all the time.

First you had me like

But then I was like

That is a good path to take. These cars looks a whole lot better once lowered. Even just 1.5in can make a huge difference! If you decide to keep your oem wheels consider running spacers to make them look more aggressive. You can drop the car then run 15mm upfront and 20mm in back with no rubbing issues and it will look super sweet.

And if you are interested I have some GarageLine 20mm spacers I can sell for $70 plus shipping. They retail for $110... not sure about shipping for them.

hahaha Thank you sir. And let me just say I am super jealous of your independent reverse and fog lights. I need that in my life.

Random shot late yesterday.

Visiting my Brother. Saw a ratty old couch and though "hmmm backdrop?"

 

Now you're just missing visors brah. Now available

 

I am missing a lot more than just visors.

 

"visually" what else ya got planned tho? Car's great already man.

Im actually probably "more or less" done. HEHE Famous last words... All mods i want now are pricey and gamechangers. 1) wheels, 2) bag/coilover combo system, (so if the bags blow and car is older, and I don't want to dump more money into it, ill just stay static) 3) *supercharger (carb legal CT Engineering) but this is more of a maybe, 4) a tune.

After wheels and bags, I will decide if i really want to supercharge or not and get appropriate tune at that time.

 

Hey Jon, in the picture you just posted above. When your wheels are turned like that and say you go over a pot hole or speed bump at cruising speed (not parking lot speed). Is it possible for the wheel to hit the fender and buckle it? Seems there's not much clearance for the tire+fender.

 

The lower you go, the more possible that is. Thats one of the reasons why people roll fenders, flare them, or also use these guys.

Fender washers - used in this manner - prevent it from totally ripping off when flexed.

 

Well to name a couple I still need side skirts and the rear kit. Id like some side skirt extensions once I have the skirt themselves.

Possibly replacing the fogs with some projectors.

Few other ideas I am tossing around.

As well interior shit.


Well what you see in my post above is about one full wheel rotation. Normally you aren't traveling that fast while the wheel is that far turned.

I am no where near aggressive on my wheel size so I have never even worried about my fenders.


I... uh... well, to my knowledge fender washer are there to just make it easier to quickly remove the front bumper.


Just daily driving. Look how dirty that front lip is. Damn dirt roads.

 

 

OEM vs Aftermarket

 

Yooo, do you have leds for you Day time lights? if so what did you buy? do you have to buy a special adaptor?

 

Yes I have LEDs and yes you should use an adapter.

I purchased LEDs and the resistor harness separate on ebay from the same seller; stefan.zheng.

These are the 80w amber Cree LEDs. You will need to select the 9005 for the correct DRL sockets. This ebay link is great because you can use it to also select H11 bulbs if you want to upgrade your fog lights as well. Just select H11 for fogs.

Below is the link to the resister harness sold by the same seller so they should ship together. This link is for the 9005 socket resisters only. He should sell the H11 resisters for the fogs as well if you search in his ebay store.

Jon do you have a picture of your LED DRL? Up in Canada these things are on as requirement and the yellow halogens look absolutely atrocious. I may do the DRL's next depending on picture. Also, does it affect your High Beams much at night? I suspect it may lower the light output, but is it enough to pose a safety hazard?
