Hey guys, thought I might share a few pics of my car. I washed, clay bared, wax and polished it about a month ago. Took a few pics afterwards. I have the apec body kit all around and tints at 35% all around (Which I got done earlier this summer)











Cheers!

I bought it from one of the vendors when I got my all season floor mats and trunk tray. I think it was a little under $15. You can probably order it locally here from the dealership, not sure how much they would charge though.

@Jatt - Pictures are broken, can't see!


Earlier today around 4PM in the Callingwood area, I was at a red light and saw something strangely familiar in my rear view. It was a KBP TL-S! Turns out it was an old asian grandpa driving it. There were old grannies sitting in the back. Mind was blown lmao.

Is it easy to install it? Dealerships here will probably cost me twice. I'm going to do it next year as a part of my subtle mods.

Oh yeah it's really simple. Would take 1 minute. I had some fun figuring it out since all the links to the pictures for the instructions were broken. It's one of the best subtle mods for the TL. Makes the driver side look that much cleaner. If the battery in the remote ever dies, all you have to do is pop the cap off, unlock, then push the cap back on. It should pop off with the key when you pull the door handle open.

Follow the link up above ^^^ and you can see the pics of the car.

Lol I'm kind of glad steelies don't fit on TL-S's. I'm not a big fan of how they look. I'll be rolling around on 04-06 stock TL wheels for winter

Vince you have any condensation in your headlights, I fogot to ask you. It's been a few weeks now and a few car washes, any problems with headlights. I know that gldcrzy's headlights were fine, he said he got condensation one time, after a first car wash and never again. I was wondering if you got any at all?

haha what? For real? Sometimes it's cheaper to get just the HID kit with bulbs than to just get bulbs. My 2G ballast crapped out and I was pricing bulbs for like 80$ a pair. And I got a HID kit with 2 bulbs, and a separate wire harness for 90$ shipped to my door.

My friend was under that illusion too, and he kept buying new HID kits from a shop that priced them at 250$ a kit. Him being a noob he kept buying it and it was some shit brand and bulbs lasted him a year and he'd change it all again.

Nope no condensation at all, I haven't had any problems with it. That Nissan Butyl is some insanely strong sealant. The extra silica packs we slapped in may have helped too lol.

Get those D2S Philips 85122+ bulbs! They're rated as one of the best bulbs if you want stock temperature, 4300k.

I got those CREE leds for my reverse bulbs as well. Really helpful at night in combination with my reverse cam. The light is quite focused, I see 2 streams of light on my navi. If you want even brighter, you can install an HID kit for the reverse lights

There is another member on this forum, his name is Sanjay. His has black type-s wheels, fully tinted, white leds sidemarkers at the front and rear, his bulbs are 8K for headlights and foglights I believe, he has the same switchbacks as me, he has a WORKING 6K DRL kit unlike me, not sure if I missed anything else

Another owner I detailed his ride for him. He has the full type-s aspec kit, yellow vinyl overlay on his foglights, fully tinted, and a Greddy exhaust
Yeah, I own the most beat up KBP TLS in the city, Broken front bumper, leaky power steering, noisy ass new brakes, dented door, and now recently refinished black wheels that have been wrecked by a faggot mech shop

Sure can! I got 8k's in mine. D2S is the bulb type
