Love it. Ive lent it out to a few people and they havent complained either.

The front fenders are a bit more difficult to do because they flex more then the rears.

what do u guys think?
my registration is due in about a month. so i'm thinking about some custom plates

or any other custom ones you can recommend?

remember, the car is 01, has a 6 speed swap, and a 3.6L swap









May be this down the line

Yeah if you can add something to hint at your engine swap.

That would be original IMO

But it's an engine...you think that hints any thing beyond lowered, rims, carbon fiber hood?

Should have security regardless based on those mods already IMO.

J swaps are becoming more and more popular. Dont give them any more reason to jack your ride.

installed the crank timing belt drive pulley yesterday and now the crank is reading fine, but the primary 02 went bad. WTF.
Then with my car not running right and still not tuned, took it out for a quick drive against a friend's 07 TL-S 6 speed.
we had a couple more runs and it was very close, but TLS6 pulls a little


Mod edit: Removed

How the hell did he or you spin the tires on 3rd? I cant do that. Something must be wrong with your car. I killed one tls 6spd and you got j36.
