here's a pic of the hid's, i don't have any corner lights in bc at night the hid's make the corners sorta "glow" and i think its fine this way.

Got Vents???? Range Rover Vents????http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r189/romeo1892/7.jpg
here are my mirrors, my homeboy cut them up and installed the led strips. they are flush now and super sweet.http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r189/romeo1892/9.jpg
they look sweet huh?
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r189/romeo1892/8.jpg
and super bright...
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...meo1892/10.jpg
and yeah i know, its missing the hood. Thats bc the hood is away getting a Skull Treatment. (i've got mixed feedback about the airbrush i'm getting on the hood, but i think its gonna look sweet.) whats yur thoughts about it?

TLin401 11-09-2009 06:10 PM

The only thing that I like are the mirrors.

Sorry.

Let me find some old pics.

its cool, did i mention that they are power folding mirrors, we wired them to open when i start the vehicle and close when i shut it off.

TLin401 11-09-2009 06:53 PM

Yea thats dope.

There are JDM power folding mirrors that I have been looking at for a while but I just can't get myself to spend that much for them.

Almost $300 for the mirrors, then you would have to add in wiring and also paint. :ugh:

It is about a $600 mod in the end.

If I had money like that I would do it but I rather get wheels, drop it, and get a 3.2 bumper.

Wait did I just say that... :ninja:

vipstar 11-09-2009 07:04 PM

dont forget the led signals, add that to the equation.
i must not get it tho :shrug:, y does erryone want a 3.2 front bumper?
the only difference i see is that middle bar. i mean if i could pull something off a 3.2 it would b the hubs so i could find me a better selection of wheels.

TLin401 11-09-2009 07:07 PM

The 3.2 bumper has a flare at the bottom of the bumper that gives the front end more of a tone IMO.

vipstar 11-09-2009 07:11 PM

hmm, i didn't know that.:tomato:

Go90go 11-09-2009 08:09 PM

Yeah, it's like a factory lip compared to the other bumpers.

I really don't like the airbrush, BTW. Vents are cool, since they are actually cut into the fender, and the mirrors are nice.

Here's an old pic:

P.S. And an even older one:

Those are nice.

Then I have to find a relay.

I looked at them before but I was unsure as to what relay I would be able to use for them.

vipstar 11-09-2009 08:29 PM

ok i see what u mean about the bottom of the bumper.

TLin401 11-09-2009 08:32 PM

IMO horizontal grilles > vertical grilles.

The 3.2 bumper on a 2.5 is :drool:

It looks so good!

Go90go's car is so nice!

Good work Art!

vipstar, yesterday I was bored shitless and started checking 1st gens on cardomain, which as we all know is full of idiots, but then I came across your car - ironically you joined AZ at the same time. When I came across your car I was really surprised, I like everything except the vents. But it surprised me at how much effort you put in the car with the mirrors and repaint.

tmnhs81 11-09-2009 10:31 PM

Thanks TLin401. Whats your name btw?? its easier to remember..

TLin401 11-09-2009 10:33 PM

tmnhs81 11-09-2009 10:38 PM

:yes: thanks.. Mike.

TLin401 11-09-2009 10:41 PM

Nope white just like my car.

tmnhs81 11-09-2009 10:44 PM

I am just kidding. when I was at acurafest in fresno, every other asian guys name was Mike...so thats what came to my mind..

TLin401 11-09-2009 10:46 PM

It is a common name and that is understandable. LOLz

OP get some tint and black out your headlights!

I also just noticed how far back your seats are.

Were you sleeping before you took these pics?

x2 You should definitely get some tint. It would look nice and somewhat match the black paint.

bigwerm187 11-10-2009 11:12 AM

your car use to be white i can tell by the fire wall and the engine bay.. thats why i didnt want to change colors on my TL...... what size are thoes rims...? they look like 19s... get some tint all the way around and lower it..:thumbsup: mirrors look pretty clean... but not feeling thoes vents at alllll... but over all ur car looks really clean... about airbrushing on ur hood i personaly wouldnt do it beacuse airbrushing usually goes in lowrider cars..

vipstar 11-10-2009 01:01 PM

well, i'm opening a store up in east tn (hopefully soon) and i'ma be carrying Christian Audigier, Paco Chicano, some Ed Hardy, Smet, and True Religion. and I said why not throw an Audigier skull on the hood and use the car as free promotion. the wheels are 20's with 225/30/20 bfg kdw II's, and the car was that silverish gold color.

thanks Dainius for recognizing the hardwork i put into repainting and modding my ride.

the work i did to my ride can be seen at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3330637

Hey go90go in these pics , is your car dropped??

TLin401 11-11-2009 01:14 PM

^ Yes

7 Tl 11-11-2009 01:39 PM

yup it looked like it, couldn't really tell from a sideview. Tmnhs81's car looks sweet too. just that it would look a Little better dropped. but nice looking cars

Mandy 11-11-2009 07:02 PM

Those side mirrors are awesome!!!!!

Side vents, too!

vipstar 12-28-2009 03:23 PM

Thank you Mandy. i forgot about this thread bc it wasn't showin up. i'm prob gonna finish the car and sell it bc i want a Lexus GS or LS. i'm goin the VIP route and no one seems to like the TL, go figure. does anyone know were i can get a good used BFG KDW tire size 225/30/20. I have four i just need another for a spare.

KaMLuNg 12-30-2009 08:37 AM

i like that the vent is actually functional... so maybe you actually have some heat dissipation... mirrors look good.. .

the 1G is back to stock so no point in posting any pics :tomato:

vipstar 01-14-2010 07:35 PM

well i got bored the other day and decided to finally install my clear bumber lights. i've had them for like a year and never put them in (mainly due to the fact that the car was taken apart for re-painting).

here are some pix.

(yes, i know, i don't have a hood)
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...o1892/14-1.jpg
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...meo1892/15.jpg

and after that the next day i was bored so i decided to do this too.
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...meo1892/16.jpg

Don't judge me just bc my interior is duuurrrrty. i plan on doing the center console too when it warms up again. I also plan on buying some new carpet.
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...meo1892/18.jpg
yeah i know i'm missing a horn button too. (if someone has an extra one, let me know)

The dash looks nice.

J-SpecTL 01-14-2010 10:49 PM

desired_speeds 01-14-2010 11:38 PM

tmnhs81 01-14-2010 11:42 PM

DAiNiUS 01-15-2010 08:51 AM

I'm guessing paint since the pallet has spray paint residue on it.
