What the heck is up with some of these TL's with funky colored wheels?! I don't get it. Slowly the TL is becoming a civic.

Meh.... the typical colors are too boring. I want something that nobody else has. My next setup will be rainbow colored wheels!

Maybe a autox/track setup? I wouldn't rep it in the street, but if they are light, cheap, and good, I dont really care what color they are.

Damn, there is ALOT of flaming going on here, but yet when someone puts a LEGO, huge fast and furious flight spoiler on their car he gets a super nice shout out and pat on the back, lmao.. this place is similar to highschool


I kind of like it, it is what it is, rock it!

That Lego spoiler was a joke. And Eric's TL is like no one else's on here. 98% of Azine like it.
His mods and ideas are popular because they made his ride what it is today. Not because he's the quarterback on the varsity football team. So try again with the highschool comment.

We aren't being overly harsh or cliquish. The majority of us have similar aesthetic sensibilities (read: not blue wheels), so you can expect similar criticisms throughout when something comes along that goes *against* those sensibilities.

I relate it to highschool because of what you just said POPULAR, highschool is a popularity contest, thats a contradiction there lol.. "98% of Azine like it." The true way to mod is for yourself, not others..

And his blue wheels is what makes Nitrous' car what it is today!

The only comment that makes me upset is calling it a "civic" because of the blue wheels. But whatever, it is what it is!

^^ This is true.


But that doesn't mean it's OK to call people names, question their intelligence or make fun of them.

You don't like the look? Fine. Say that and move on. Or don't say anything and just move on.

Next "personal attack" = 3-day ban. I guess you all can consider that a warning.

i'm not sure about the blue...on silver paint. i'm not sure about blue on anything though. maybe a blue TL with matching wheels? maybe cotton candy?

let's all wait and see though, that one pic doesn't show us much...right?

I actually like the blue color, I just don't know if I agree with putting them on SSM Waiting for more pics tho to decide...

And I agree with what -MiG- said, this guy is getting flamed for just putting on some blue wheels (which may or may not be Volks) and the "Space Shuttle Car" ACCURATEin's car never gets flamed. Other than the TE37s, CTSC, and Project MU BBK, his car is rice as shit. I've been confused since the day I joined this forum as to why his car his "praised" on here. He has a frigin rear diffuser from an S2k hanging off his bumper for God's sake.

The only contradiction is "bright blue wheels I don't care what brand, style, offset or whatever, on a silver TL!"

It is what it is. True, true. But what it looks like with those blue wheels is a civic.

Not trying to offend anyone, just calling it how I see it.

I think that's very fair. I've noticed a lot of bad attitudes around here lately - to be honest, it's turning me off of the TL subforum - hell, even the guys in Ramblings are better behaved!

The wheel itself is a badass selection... f-zero blue CE28N is a tasteful wheel, but from this rear angle, it just doesn't go with anything on the car.

He can put whatever color he feels (like I did) but I don't get a sense of one-ness with the overall look..

I think he means something like this... the ricers think that the holes will decrease weight and improve aerodynamics and I second that... the day i see that I'm selling my TL =/

yes ricers use those bumper diffusers..but people who race QM are the ones that really need these...and for one its not to decrease wieght..in fact the metal weighs more than the bumper you cut out of it...its to free up trapped air in the rear bumper...giving it a direct exit..and some racers use it to put their wheelie bars through it
