finally got around to cleaning my car and wanted to show you fellas a lil look see at my baby...

Here's some interior shots.....

( there will be brushed aluminum on top of that very soon )









Here's some exterior shots.... ahhh that so cal weather.... gotta love it!









The BUMP in the Trunk and The Red Light Camera Protection Spray (IT WORKS!!)





Thats it for now sorry for those 56K users if i got a lil camera happy.. i welcome any comments..... cali2.5tl

 

wow ive never seen taht color before looks great man, love the wheels. how hard do those hit (alpines rite?) and whered u get the red light spray i need that. keep us posted on the aluminum dash

 

that color is awesome! and i like those wheels when they're chrome. too bad they aren't bigger.....mine i mean. keep up the good work i am a HUGE fan of that grey interior as well. floor mats look great hehe. oh, and and...nice subs :thumbs:

 

i wish i had that color interior than the tan colored leather

 

Looks clean, and I like the color.

 

Very nice, there is a 3.2 in that color for sale near me.

What % tint is that? 20%?

 

The tints are 20% all the way around. For those of you wondering th name of th color is Red Garnet Pearl. The Alpines hit REALLY good they can thump but what i love most is they hit th notes square good SQ sub in my opinion. cant wait to add the goodies to the interior and the shoes on the outside

 

Shift Knob upgrade needed, take out the paint and show the chrome! Nice car!

 

auto loc...does it work good? looks breakable

 

wow, i haven't seen a car this color since 96 2.5tl i think his username was. clean ride, i want your interrior

 

the exterior/interior color combo looks nice...
im really lovin your system... how do the 2 type r's sound? not too much bass?

 

I really love that color. Second favorite of mine for 1st Gens, my color being the first, lol. I cant wait to see the aluminum dash. Your car is so nice and clean, i really need to wash mine.

 

hey bro.... I would like too see the brushed aluminum once you put it on. im also here in so cal around LA. Also when your looking for wheels my buddy has a shop over in LA I can get some descent prices. Hes got a couple of katana wheels right now that are nice. I was thinking about gettins some new wheels, but I just cleaned mine and they still look ok from a distance...LOL

 

what do you guys think? on steering wheel or flush mounted in arm rest (leaning towards arm rest as color is more similar to that of armrest than steering wheel) plus look a lil awkward on wheel... tell me what you guys think?



Or This?

 

armrest..lookx better IMO..glad u posted about that spray..i came across on a pop up and was about to get it but was skeptical..but u cleared that up..thanx

 

Cali what year is your TL? Mine is a 96 and my backseats sure as hell don't look that nice (design wise).

 

That's looking good...

The emblem on the steering wheel looks kinda but on the armrest is pretty cool... i tend to use the arm rest so if you do to, as long as its not in your way that'll be cool...

ARMREST!!!

Here's an idea though... Back seat... on the armrest/trapdoor... that'll be pretty cool too...

Looking good man... your car looks hell of clean... 9/10... until you get that aluminum on...

 

Had 3 neons installed over the weekend, 2 for the front footwell's and 1 for t space below the radio. i had been thinking about doing this for a while and i must say i really like how it looks especially at night just wanted to share a couple pics with you ( mind you this doesn't really mesh well with the stock wood and i know what but it sure will when i put on that sweet aluminum... which will come soon after i come back from mexico!







tell me what u guys think.... i know many dont like neons cause their ricer but i dont think these are overdone

Damn i think i need to clean it a little... oops

 

will be installing a couple of things shortly but as of now wanted to give you guys a peek at my gauges... ghetto chrome grille and my baby just waxed....





























sorry if i went a lil overboard .. as always any suggestions/comments are welcome...

 

yeah u r the only member now to have that color car since james totalled his... i saw his new car tho... yellow ITR... really sweet.. but last i heard he wanted a 4 dr lux car again

 

a couple of questions on your beautiful car...




What do you use for your leather?
and are those the stock rims shining like that? what do you use on them?



sweet car, i want your interior!

 

Lookin' good, I like it a lot... the interior lighting is a bit much but that's a good use of that empty space under the CD player. I really like how you covered center console and side wood trim with that paint stuff! Looks good with the ash interior.

Well, except for the badge on the center console armrest or the steering wheel, I'm not feeling that too much.

 

hey, are you gonna be there tomorrow?????

 

to the meet i assume is what you mean. unfortunately i have to work all day sunday, so i wont be able to make it down this time..... but for sure ill try to make it to one soon in the future. maybe by then i will have the new dash and shoes on there.....

 

Love the back lit guage cluster. Did you install it yourself? How hard was it? If not, how much?

 

how hard do the type rs hit?

 

im digging the system deck and the lighting...looking good man...

 

yup installed it myself i bought two white leds i filed them down so they fit in the housing and voila u have what u see here. oh and also took out the "shield'' that blocks out most of the light. looks nice at night quite easy actually just take out screws at top of cluster take out the piece of dash (comes out with air vent slats) take out cluster, unplug wires and pop in the leds.

as for TL Baller's question yes they hit real good. not up to jl audio standards but they hit real nice. they can take alot of power too.. running them off of a 2000 watt monoblock amp and havent had nay problems yet except for slight alti whine im gonna go back and re-check the grounds.

 

I am curious as to where you got that cluster (Ebay, online store, retail store in SoCal.. etc.). I also want to change my instrument cluster. BTW what kind of LED's did you use?
