Well im sure alot of you are getting either a bonus from work, or extra money for the holidays... Whats your xmas present for your car?

Heres mine:

-Paint headlights black (JDM housing look)
-Clear corners
-7" LCD screen custom mounted inplace of the Stock HU
-DVD/MP3 Player
-Paint stock tails Red
-Remove the fugly luggage rack (refer to my gallery if you dont know what im talking about... then youll understand )

Looks like I got some fun projects ahead of me, perfect since im gonna have alot of time at the end of the month and next month.

HQuakers

Custom CAI, dress up the engine bay, new plugs and wires, redo my stereo installation, custom inspire tails, and hopefully getting the dents fixed and painted Aegean Blue or the color it is now.....can you tell I have been planning? Heh heh, I can't friggin wait! I just hafta get through finals next week, ugh...

Mikes96TL03CLS

Maybe a wing, and paint the sideskirts.

98tlracer

I'm going to Japan in two weeks. Imma see what I can find there.

Ianbiz3

stuff, car related another polish wont hurt. only do it every month.

Cornflake

Ripping apart Headlights to paint black, ripping apart Tails to clear the orange, finding and INSPIRE decal package, lowering finally, get rid of insanely huge spkr box in my trunk for a smaller one that will fit between the strut towers thus allowing a golf bag to fit in the trunk.......Probably will only get to half of it dude to money constraints right now, but we'll see....

982.5TL

Lowering springs and depending on monetary resources, stereo upgrade. And Cornflake, when you finish your taillight mod id really like to see the results.

Cornflake

For sure 982.5TL, I'll be posting pics as soon as I get it done. WIll be hopefully just into the new year, but going to do the headlights first.

BlueC

Im doing the headlights for sure, but the taillights im a little worried about, arent they more at risk to crack when you open them [taillights] up?

Cornflake

Yup. But it's the risk I am gonna take. I might try and grab some from a wrecker if I can find them cheap enough to try it with, just in case....

Let us know about the turbos bud. As well as all the other **** you guys are cooking up. Ill be looking into some carbon fiber legend engine covers which look great on our cars.

Cornflake

I've been talking to a guy about a complete turbo kit for 3.2's as well. Hopefully be going down that road NEXT winter when I can rip the car apart and install it. Should be good for 7-9 lbs of safe boost. 100 hp, will be nice!!!

BlueC

Damn you must make a lot of money to afford all of that.... :wow:

TLxRaCeR

nah..i'm a poor man tryin to make in this world.... I'm just tryin to make my TL the "company" show car..

vas25tl
