My final semester of college starts next week so I decided to spend a week in Charlotte! I hung out with ACCURATEin (Eric) on Tuesday and finally convinced him to black out his headlights. Here are some pictures in no specific order.







Don't let this picture fool you, I did most of the work



My car was supervising the process...





Here's what his TEs looked like before the yellow paint...



He has tires on the way but still





You'll see more of those RE30s later in the post











So all of that was on Tuesday. I went back over today and put the two Volk RE30s on my car. Here are the specs:

17x9
+35 (+20 front, +15 rear with spacers)
255/40/17 front
245/40/17 rear

We didn't realize until after the fact that the tires were wider on one wheel Anyways, the rear fitment was spot on, but the fender literally sat on top of the front tire. I didn't want to move the car and mess anything up.























And since the tires on the Kuhmos are showing even more threads than the set on the TEs, Eric wanted to paint the letters to make it moar racecar.



See, I told you the tires on the REs were worse



We didn't have time to mount the REs on Eric's car but we loved it regardless.
















We were going to put two of the TEs on my car but Eric lives in a fancy part of town and the apartment manager wasn't happy that we were swapping parts in front of the model apartment's garage

I like the REs, they are SUPER lightweight and look great for 17s, but I don't think they look right on my TL. I must admit that I love the beefy tire look though

Wow all of those photos are pretty awesome. I studied each one for quite a while whilst browsing. It has been a lot of fun messing around with the TLs and doing little mods. Thanks again for pushing me to get on the ball with the headlights and everything else haha.

Woah! Loving the neon wheels, Eric!

I'm with you Tyler, the RE30's don't look right on your car. I think it looks better on Eric's but not as good as the TE37's.

Nice pictures too, buddy.

WOW am amazed how well the 17x9 +20 fits on the car....I had always thought, it will stick out tooo much and with a wider tire, it would be only worse....

Tyler, you have your fenders rolled right?

Great pics Tyler, very cool photo-documentation. For Eric's racecar look, I think the white letter tires look awesome. He probably has the only TL that could rock that look too.

I think if I had put the 245 up front, it would have cleared. 255 was just too much. The rear fitment was spot on

I agree 100%. There are a lot of components on Eric's car that only he could get away with.

If you're putting me to work, you drive here

I'm sure J or Austin would help! Well, you might not want Austin's help, so just ask J





Tyler, aka OakTre, aka ghey Tyler, aka stickers, drove to Charlotte to attend the ISO meet tomorrow that a lot of Acurazine members are attending as well. It should be a good time



Those Advans

Here are some pictures of his car that I took on Friday evening. I'm not too happy with them, but oh well

















Yes, lots of shots of dat booty. The light source was behind the car so most of the shots of the front turned out like crap

Here are some super duper edited ones for Anil







And just one of my car



If you look at the bottom of the tail light, you can see where some jackass hit my car last year and cracked the housing



We went to the ISO/Streetwise Drift event yesterday and even though it was rained out, I took over 700 pictures. I'm down to about 150 but still need to edit them. They should be posted sometime tomorrow

Thanks Steven. I know it's there and it bugs the hell out of me

The CL is gorgeous! It has a few nasty rock chips on the front but it's clean considering it's age and having 205k on the clock

It is










Alright, time for a photo dump. First set is from the ISO/Streetwise Drift event this past Saturday in Charlotte. Lots of Acurazine guys showed but we got rained out. I attempted to salvage the pictures in Lightroom



























































































































































After the meet, Tyler (OakTre), Aaron (BadazzTL-S), and I went to RK Motors in Charlotte. You can see their inventory on their website: http://www.rkmotorscharlotte.com/

















































































And then we took just a few more pictures in the rain before going our separate ways

Great pics Tyler. I love the shots you took at RK pearing through other cars to the one you were focusing on. The FF and Twin Turbo vette are new since I was last there. Was the blue Ferrari 275 GTB still there?
