Looks fucking sick!!!

 

Old thread. It was started 5 years ago.........the OP hasn't posted anything else in it in almost a year...........

 

Thanx guys lol.... Yeah i know i havnt been on in a while lol i need to update this thread again soon lol

 

Ok guys my TL is still looking good and running strong.. dam its been forever since ive updated my thread.. lol ill try to update it more offen lol ..

 

Looks legit!

 

Thanx man..

My front end looks clean from far away buts it all chipped now from all the dam rocks.. lol i was driving 50 miles to see the GF ever other week lol for the past 5 yrs..... But not a problem i have like 1/2 gallon left of paint so am respray the front end...

 

how many gallon to spray the whole car? if only you were closer..lol

 

I used about a little over a 1/2 a gallon on paint and almost a full gallon on clear. That way I have alot of material to wet sand and not go through to easy.. =)

 

What brand of paint did you use? I used 3/4 gallon paint and almost the whole gallon clear as well.

 

^ Correction... I take that back as I currently have about 1/4 gallon left and I remember I just bought 3 quarts of paint and they mixed it in the gallon container lol. So yeah, I used about 1/2 a gallon paint give or take.

 

I use PPG.... Yeah thats about avarge amount used for a big car like the TL... but yeah am redo my front end again.....

What brand did u use and what color..????

 

I used Sherwin Williams and kept the original color (Desert Mist Metallic) to avoid painting the door jams.

 

Idk they made paint lol i thought they only made house paint..... Lol I think after u painted ur car it hailed and ur car got all dented up..???? Was that u..????


I mixed my white cuz there wasnt one bright enough that i liked so i made my own lol.. i did the doors everything lol i gutted my car lol

 

Yeah that was me, and I'm still rolling around all dented up. If you look in the 3G TL section, I posted a thread with a couple pics of our new 3G that has the 1G in it.

 

Yeah man i cant even see any of the dents on it lol.. still looks clean... bad ass 3g.. u picked it up for $3500...???? Lol so what u gunna do about them dents u gunna pull them out or what ..????

 

Thanks man! Yeah it was such a steal that we couldn't pass it up. I think I'll leave the dents as is because pulling them out cost $$$.

 

Hahah.... Dam bro that was a massive deal man lol... Am have to take a trip out there and scoop up a 3g bro lol..... Hahaha

Are the dents not to bad or what...???? How much was that fix gunna cost u bro lol

 

While you're here you can help fix my car too lol. But yeah man, I've got quotes from $5000-$8000 to fix the dents.

 

Hahaha dam i know right.. lol ill do it for cheaper lol and still giod quality bodywork lol and use that cash to get a 3g lol works out for everyone lol hahah woot woot lol.... Miles on cars dont scare me cuz i know how to do motor and tranny work too... Lol .. soo ur dents are on ur truck roof and hood right..??????.... Hmmm u should post a pic of the dents so i can see how bad they are.... Lol cuz u my be able to take them out with a heat gun or torch lol but the plan here is to have the skill not to burn ur paint.. lol

 

I tried to take pictures of the dents, but they are just not showing up well in the photos. Maybe my paint is too shiny? Lol, anyways the shops said that it would be better to weld a new roof on, replace the hood/trunk, and work out all the dents on the fenders, side panels, and doors. All my trims are also gone and will need replacing.

 

Clean ass TL!!!!! I'm debating to paint the interior of my headlights white vs. your black. Any thoughts about the white interior headlights?

 

lol hmmmm white headlight housing...???? have u seen a Honda fit or a corvette lol they have color matching headlight housing lol... well I think that is how yours will come out lol... u should try it... I went with the jdm headlighs cuz my car is flat black and white.. and black headlights would look better mine than if I got them in white lol ... there is not chrome left on my TL all of it has been painted flat black lol.... maybe you should paint the whole car white and even the trim as well and with white headlights I think it would look bad ass that way =)

 

Finaly lol about time.. lol am getting read to wrech away on my car this xmas... getting my Tein SS coilover kit for my car loo woot woot

 

My Xmas present woot woot my Tein SS coilovers... idk if any one has tryed these on there TL or am i the first one...???? What sux is that i have to wait until after Xmas to slap them on lol.... =\

Heres a little update on whats going down first of all the front balljoints i got did not fit... So i had to put the stock ones back on and sold them for $60 and got my money back lol... Other than that the front end bolted up really nice...

The hold up right now is that my rear lower shock mount bolt is rusted to my lower LCA bushing.. i have the replacements for it so now i just have to press it out.. but my stock shock had to be cut off but not like it matters anyways.. lol

So here is a little sneek peak.. what do u guys think

 

Where did you get the suspension from? Japan? Or did you find one that was compatible?
