Hey guys. I posted in wheels and suspension as I am currently in the process of. My coilovers will be here tomorrow and hopefully in the next week or two I'll get my wheels. So I'll post pics of the progress here. I also did my system install this weekend and posted pics there. Here is the car just after the dealership programmed my remote start keys and did a "Spartan shield coating"

 

 

She's a beaut

 

Mods, I suppose the other threads I posted could be closed and this one will be the progress thread for all? Sorry for the multiple threads. Been a while.

 

 

Suspension in

 

Looks good, can't wait to see it with the wheels.

 

hopefully soon! Wheel company said a few more weeks before they're finished

 

 

Your co workers should be jealous

 

Wow, man...
gorgeous!

 

haha thanks! It's weird actually..i work in an IT building, so they get more excited over shit like star wars and computer graphics cards.

 

Thanks! I can't wait to get these wheels in the mail already and really set it off!

 

Sneak peak of the wheels

 

are they a surprise?
vossen?
I've seen fitment on a lot of those up close at acura of pp and man they look good...
i know they aren't authentic or anything...
lol.

Great choice, I've had a few TLX as loaners...pretty impressive.

 

They are Stance wheels. I like a lot of Vossen wheels, but they are way too saturated on the market and I wanted to go with something different. I was bouncing back and fourth between Vossen and VIP Modular, but then I saw these and really liked them, so I decided to go for it.

 

can't go wrong, man...
I think I met one of the owners of stance. Are they from South Florida?

 

I don't believe so. As far as I know they operate here in SoCal

 

Must be InCurve or one of those others...he chased me down in the black TL to use it for a photoshoot but it never happened...this was back when they were starting up.
I was like, shit...I should have taken him up on it!

What car were you in before the TLX again? I'm assuming you had taken an Acura break for a bit?

 

check out my Sig in my first post for some of my past cars. I believe this is my 14th car if i recall correctly. I didn't mod my 2012 TL or my TLX before this.

 

shit, that's right...how could I forget.
I think you had the challenger when i bought the camera.

I'm on my 13th car. I better step my game up.

 

dang, I forgot all about that! Haha how wild. I wish I still had DSLR stuff

 

LOL...
wild is right...
your avatar never changing helped.

I ended up selling it to another forum buddy when I upgraded to the D7000.
in hindsight...that 30D with the nifty fifty was more than enough for the bs car photos I love taking.

 

Yeah it's a good camera. I would love a mark iv or v or whatever is out these days. I don't even look any more cause it's depressing.

 

I'll tell you what's depressing...
that I've gotten lazy and started using my phone instead.
And it's not because I can't tell the difference, it's because I used to upload to flickr ONLY with DSLR and now because photobucket is a whorebag, I upload from my phone to flickr and it's made me realize the quality is not terrible without being super compressed.

 

losers

 

Cant wait to see the wheels on the car! Great choice, car is looking really good!

 

 

What a difference lowering makes...wow.

 

Looks great and welcome back!!

 

Thanks guys! Talked to the wheel company today. They said my wheels should be finished by Friday and they will have them mounted and balanced and shipped by early next week! Once I get the new wheels I'll get the ride height dialed in. then, onto my next mod I have in the works, but don't wanna speak too soon!

 

is that a propane tank ?

 

yeah..some houses out here aren't on natural gas because of their location. They end up having to use propane

 

Can't wait to see the rims!

You check out the S-Factor diffuser kit? Looks pretty clean.

 

wow where the heck are you

thought you were in Santa Clarita

 

no I live in the high desert (still Socal)

 

dude...holy shit...thank you for this. I had not heard of it but I was looking for a diffuser kit.

 

you're welcome, Here's the prices they emailed me:

" $200 front splitter
$150 sides splitters
$100 rear splitters
$45 shipping

If you take everything above I can do 425 shipped. They will come already prepainted in gloss black paint.

The rear middle diffuser is sold separately at 295 shipped.
Carbon fiber wrap is optional. "

 

thanks again! I actually already emailed them for pricing lol. you were much quicker to the punch. I might seriously get this kit, but I need to see the sides and rear first.

 

How far are you from the Salton Sea?
GF and I just took a trip out there a few weeks ago.
