6. Custom built enclosure in trunk for my 15" solobaric and amp rack sometime next month.

7. Im gonna possibly air brush my car club logo on my rear curtain. I think it would look sick.

I'm still debating buying teins comfort sports or bagging it. Trying to have her ready to do some local shows. Possibly Hot import nights?
Thought you were going to do MUGEN???

Just wait until it's late Spring/Summer in that dark car. You'll change your mind. Reflector/mirror tint is ghetto but smoke is not. Do at least 50% for a light clean tint. They all block the same 100% of UV rays helping to keep your leather from drying out and dash from cracking.

The magnaflow muffler.

New hangers:

After:
That is the muffler style I want if I decide. They look great bro. Take a vid if you can soon. Time to take out the K&N drop-in and do a Takeda Intake. 037 did SRI and another RL member did CAI SRI= 7hp/12tq & CAI= 12hp/12tq.

Im waiting for my brother to get the aem v2 intake for his type s we gonna see if it fits good then I will get one. Not gonna go past that as far as performance. I decided a spec instead of mugen. It was too pricey and time consuming thats why I havent ordered my teins yet either.

I wouldve changed out those resonators while I was at it, but overall the car is looking good. Most car commercials feature the vehicles with tint to conceal the driver so I dont think tint is ghetto. But to each his own. Keep up the good work

He used the ijdmtoy.com harness made for the TL like I'm using. It is throwing the drl code though, we have to play with it a bit more to see if we can get it to go out. I'm using the same harness but with V-leds bulbs.

What type of wheels did you ordered? I don't see a lot of RL in the gallery section. I noticed you installed HID on your DRL. Do you have a warning light in your dash?

I'm too chicken $hit to modify the electric. The wheels you got from Ambiguos will look sick on your RL. If you got the wheels did you already install them?

Tell me about it I was in Manhattan 2 weeks ago and I noticed a lot of pot holes. I wonder where all the money people pays to go through those tunnels. Anyone want to take a guess?????
