ConradoR's Progress Thread
Nice G man. If you want to switch it up on the tails I think the 06 JDM tails would really look good and really pop on your car. The darker shade of red and the amber blinkers will look good on TB. I love mine!

I'll post pics once I get it done. Also should have pictures of the spacers installed once I decide if I should go 10/15 or 5/10. I am leaning towards 5/10 since I don't wanna deal with the rubbing that I had to on a daily basis with my prior wheels... well at least for a while.

lol yeah Paul, good eye.
I love the sound, but I'm considering adding a resonated Magnaflow X-Pipe, to replace the HKS original H-Pipe. It should bring back the VQ tone a little, and remove the little bit of rasp that is still there when you punch it full throttle

Same here, I hope that once it's done, it will be a nice blend of the throaty HKS and the VQ tone that we all love, while also getting rid of any of the remaining rasp that is still there (90% of the rasp was removed by the ARTs, but there's still some during max throttle).

New JDM corners (with Bump)
Came with the amber bulbs, and I think it came out as a pretty good accent for the Brembos. I was going back to 6000K leds there and matching leds for my city lights, but I'll keep the white led's out of there for now. Opinions?

Also changed the clutch engagement point, by following the simple DIY. What a difference, I can't believe I haven't done that earlier. I highly recommend, much less effort to shift now.
Next 10MMs all around to get the GTS's flush (will need to get front fenders rolled) + new rear tires. Debating btw 285/35s and 275/35s. 285s might scrape even thought my rear fenders are max rolled.
Also installing new Whiteline compression rod bushings and revised end links to stop the weird front end creaking
