Anyone know how long would it take to get these plates from the DMV ? And what will I need to do to register them ? Bring them to the DMV and pay another fee?

My gf actually helped me pick this plate out. 6 speed j 35.. What's cool about this is dj also stands for " David & Jessica " haha

Looking good! How do you like those reverse hid's? I was thinking about picking up the same kit off eBay but I don't know if I want to hassle with installing a timer since my car is an A/T.

You're new headlights look great bro! I agree...they really look aggressive. I think that every time I pull up and see my car there in front of the house. Funny how the lights can make that much of a difference. Great job Dave!

OP your TL-S is definitely one of the most sought out combos. WDP/6spd.

Only one light works for now but I still have to figure out the problem.. Maybe not enough wattage or harness adapter is bad. I will be recieving a new adapter soon and see if that fixes the problem..

Type in 15w reverse hids on eBay and you should see a couple for around $75

im waiting for the new harness/adapter to come in the mail to see if that solves the problem. will keep you fellas updated.
In the meanwhile my car has been throwing a cel for 2271, bank 1 sensor 2 stuck rich. from the research ive done its the secondary sensor closes to the firewall (after the cat ). ive already got a replacement so i hope this solves the problem. been with this code on and off for like 4 months ( horrible gas mileage )

I can imagine why you getting horrible gas mileage....

well there are couple things to this (recently i got the code for running too lean)....but i cleaned the MAF port (on the TB) and cleared the code using a ODB scanner and the codes never came back....try that....

PS the top sensor does all the fuel trimming so if you replace the O2 sensor its the one on top and near the firewall (bank 2)....the bottom sensor monitors the cat functionality, so if you get the "Circuit slow response" code then its the bottom sensor....

I replaced the rear 2nd o2 sensor. I guess when I was installing it last time I twisted the wires.

Anyone know why my car idles funny after I cleaner the tb and maf sensor ? I rev it and it stays around 1.4 k for about 3 seconds then goes back to normal idle. I'm guessing it has a leak somewhere around the throttle body ?

A little update .. So far cel hasn't been on for a month or so.. Cel was caused by the rear pcd being cracked. Welded up a spare pcd I had and slapped it on.

I have this sort of clunking sound that I hear from the pass side and driver side. Seems like the sway bar end links gave out. This only happens when I go over certain kinds of bumps. Also the car will rock a lot like a boat. I checked everything and it seems fine. Shocks are good also so I'm guessing it's the end links ( even though it has no play ? ) this noise happened when I went over some disgusting pot holes.

Got myself some atlp quads pretty happy with the product but damn the drone sucks around 3-4k rpm ( currently have magnaflow res )



How she currently sits



Will be getting the rear and side a spec kit in nov from the gf as a bday present. Also will be vinyl wrapping the roof black

No update on the reverse hids just yet. Been pretty busy to call the company. They sent me a new harness adapter but it still doesn't power both sides, only one. It might not have enough voltage I'm guessing. Btw does anyone know where to get moog end links for cheap ?
