ASTROBOY is downtown...

HAHA

I have showed the pics of Astroboy's TL to a few of my friends......I'm just about to head downtown and my friends call " Man you should see this TL downtwon on Richmond st (toronto)!!! it's the exact one you showed me on the forum, there's tons of people around it!!"

in case you guys don't know Astroboy check his sig, he has spent the most on his TL I can almost gaurntee.... 40+ grand I'm pretty sure....


Just thought I would share that a TL can stop traffic even when parked on the sidewalk!!! enjoy the long weekend everybody!! I'm going downtown!!!

No doubt,
Astroboy has sunk some serious change into his ride. Last I knew it was up for sale

Don't forget to take a few pics for us. Even though I already saw his car in person, it still amazes me what he has invested in it.

Maybe it was the buyer that had it downtown....My friends called me from downtown standing beside the car...."it's the INSPIRE !!!! "
I think my buddies might have freaked out the driver a little. One guy standing by the drivers window talking on the phone staring at the car and pointing, and the other a 6'6" 300lb african dude knodding his head and smiling... that car as getting sooooo many looks!! it wasn't there when I got down there though, damn slow longweekend drivers...

Is that the OEM kit? If it is, how did he get rid of the gaps where they meet the actual body of the vehicle... I have always thought this car was hotness, just don't have the cash to emulate the ride and never knew who's car it was....

To answer a few questions:

1) Astro got a bodyshop to mold all the seams from the OEM kit to the body so it would be seamless.

2) front window is tinted. i think you're only allowed to tint the top 6" of the window ... but who's counting?

I'm pretty sure this info is correct. Astro can correct me if I'm wrong!

car is not mine anymore guys, but at least it's out getting shown off now.

Front window is tinted top and bottom, it's legality is questionable.

rims are Advan Model 5 in 19x8 with a 48mm offset.

Body kit was molded with poly eurethane so there are no seams...it is my favourite external mod that was done.
