i dont know.. does anyone else think it looks photoshopped? it seems to be missing the bump on the front part of the side skirts.. btw, here a pix of my car dropped to the lowest setting on ground controls..(exhaust y-pipe used to scrap even the smallest speed bumps..



i found another old pix of mine.. this is the lowest..

trust me bro.. its chopped... you can see so many flaws in that photo..

examples:

1. he has mud flaps in the front which have been chopped off on the bottom
2. too many white spaces where he tried to chop the car lower
3. there should be a shadow that completely covers underneath the rear bumper

you guys all know i'm not an ass, but seriously, i hate it when a tries to chop photos and deceive people.. all i'm concerned with is him fessing up to chopping and for him to post his real photo.. i know this guy has read my previous posts with no remark/rebuttal...

i was bored so i did a quick chop of my own..

original photo
photochopped

They 04 rims on a 1st gen TL looks awsome. I might have done this, but 04 rims are not cheap. and ya... it doesn't fit on our 2.5ssss.

did you need wheel spacers or anything to fit it on?

Hard to tell if its fake since the pic is dark..

But i believe it, why fake something like that?

lol.. trust me bro, its a chop... if you look at the rear wheel well, you can see where the actual bumper is.. i wouldnt accuss anyone unless i knew for sure this guy is full of BS.. btw, i think the offset on the 04 wheels would make it impossible to tuck fenders even with it being rolled or cut after seeing photos of AjaxVCU's car.. anyways.. he knows he has been caught.. thats why we still haven't seen him post any remarks...

damn tlxracer, i think your right. so do his exif tags....


Firmware Version: Adobe Photoshop 7.0

and if you want this tab to view exif data, heres a link: http://members.cox.net/foxbat121/ExifView.zip

just extract anywhere and follow the directions in the readme.1st(open in wordpad). if you have winxp, follow the win2k directions

yea if you look at the shadow of the car near the rear wheel it looks jagged and funny looking not a natural looking shadow

Are you kidding me, there's now way that's legit. Look at the rear wheels, they're smaller than the front. And it looks like with the front clearance, the only place he's going is dead straight. Look at the offset on the rim, it looks like it was made for the car. Thanks for the laugh idiot.

The bolt pattern is the same for a 3.2TL, but the offset is a +45 i believe and first gens have a +55

Sweet looking rims, no doubt about it, but why go to all that trouble and then put in a Clarion head unit?? I mean, good gravy, I'd even put in Aiwa or JVC if I was just flat broke from the rims before I'd put in Clarion.
