More car pics!!

 

I appreciate the info provided. You did a real nice job painting the wheels and calipers.

 

Thank you! If you have anymore questions, just PM me and I'll be glad to answer them

 

 

Looks great... Sub'd for future updates

 

My friend and I went out to the docks the other day to take some pictures of our babies.







Mine and Andrea's TLs




Andrea's nice deep dish wheels

Here are more pictures I took yesterday

 

Sweet pics!

Can you give any info on that lip? I know its for subarus and everything, just wondering what model and where you got it?

 

Thank you! And honestly, all I know for sure is that its the S204 style. I think the year was 06-07 but I don't remember exactly. I got it off eBay. I'll try to dig up the link and PM you if I find it

 

That next to the last shot is $$$$.

 

Nice Pics. Looks like you may need to roll your rear fenders. Any rubbing in the rear? The front splitter is a nice addition.

 

Thank you! And it does not rub even a bit, even with a full car.

 

Good looking shots....

 

Thank you!

 

Update!!
Did a few small things to my car since the last update. I put the rear factory red side marker back in place of the Depo ones because I felt like I needed for color on my car. The front side marker is still Depo with white LEDs. Also, I got my front two windows tinted this morning (finally!). Lastly, I repainted my brake calipers (yet again lol) to red to match the taillights and rear side marker.

Red brembo calipers with no sticker

 

We're schizo brake painting twins...I've done mine like 6 times now.
Great job, loving the thread and constant picture updates and trying new things. It was fun reading through all the pages and the transformation from day one.

You've come a long way in your endeavors and your posts.

 

I can't ever decide what color to do!! Funny thing is though, I got inspired to paint my brakes copper and dip my wheels gray from a picture I saw of your old TL! I still love the look of that. If only plastidip turned my wheels into Advans..

 

Thanks, man...silver allows you a BUNCH of options. Pick the classiest one. One day I will do bright pink. Been dying to but fear I'll get bored of it quickly.

White wheels work great on SSM/ASM so why not white calipers? I swear, I normally hit my calipers when washing wheels anyway, so white isn't a big deal to me.

 

My only reason for not going with white is that I desperately needed more color on my car. When I had the silver brakes, it looked so plain and boring and I wasn't digging it after a couple weeks. (I also got the idea of silver brakes from your thread haha). Next on my list are most likely teal and rose gold.

 

I did/and ebelp did
satin lagoon from home depot
high temp base, that color and high temp silver and you're good to go.

 

A nice ssm/asm makes me miss mine...

 

You're crazy as fuck...battleship grey is where it's at.

 

Does silver on top of satin lagoon make it look better

I love my SSM but I love the color you have on your TL

 

Damn good looking pictures. It always makes me happy seeing an ASM looking so good.

 

Ordered something for the car a couple days ago.. Lets just say I hope they clear my brembos

 

 

i want that front ip under the a spec

 

OK, nice teaser....

 

Waiting for tires to come in then I'll post more than teasers

 

Teasers are :ghey:

 

teasers are horrible. it's like just put the pics haha

 

Sadly its a teaser for myself too until I mount tires on them

 

Well, here she is!!

 

personally not a fan but as long as you like it! looks better than oem wheels, i think. what's the brand and specs on the wheels/tires

 

Avid.1 AV52 17x9 +10 with a 215/45. The reason I got 17s was because I wanted wheels that are lighter than OEM.

 

nice! how much does this wheel/tire setup weigh or the wheel by itself?

 

I am not sure about the wheel and tire together, but the wheel alone is about 20-21 pounds. Just about 2-3 pounds lighter than stock. I'm going to weigh them soon when I take them off to do a little fender work

 

you'll definitely notice that weight difference! but you could have gone 18s for even lighter (my tsw wheels are 18s and they are only 19.6 lbs or 18.6 i can't remember which)

downside is that you would have had to get new tires for 18s.

overall it's always nice to mix it up! hope you enjoy them

 

Mini shoot!






Stock vs. Modified





Just as a reference to how my car looked about 6 months ago.



Brembo and metallic clear coat on the calipers.

 

 

Love it all.
