Very nice audio setup!! Very nice! Shes very much begging for a kit though!

 

Very nice...what kind of head unit is that? Looks like Pioneer, if so what model? and what kind of springs are u rolling on?

 

Sweet setup! I have the same TV unit.

 

Nice job! I love those Dazz rims. Very clean looking setup.

 

Nice! Man, I hate coming to look at all y'alls pics 'cause they make me feel like such a cheap-ass with my stock TL...

whoa!!!!
everyone is just showing up with off da hook rides now...
nice... very very nice!!!

 

Thanks for all the respones.
ballnxnx: those are reflective pieces of alumnimum. It gave it that "shinny" look. Its pushing 2 10's and that xtant amp is the 3300. It pushed 2x150 and 1x300. Its only a 3 channel amp I can't fade from front to back, but the amp has a switch to drop the db's of the rear fill speakers. The matiz are 19x8 ...i think the offset is in the 50s. Tires are 235/35/19.
Chinaman: the headunit is the pioneer av-9000cd. springs are ground controls w/ konis coming soon.
96TL: the head unit is the best, i love it .. too bad it didn't have some features on the screen.
Gomes : don't think of it that way. to each their own. i will be honest i OVER spent. If i had a choice i wouldn't do it again this way.
Edub : hahah, i got my plates... didn't want to get busted for anything by the great fremont police!!!
bnut The system believe it or not was at a deal. The labor was half off and the parts were 10% below cost since i knew the shop and he used his employee discount. It still hit for over 9k. To all... i wouldn't do it that wild again if i had a choice... just make your system where it sounds good... i don't even pop my trunk that often for people to see..i could spent all that on other goodies..like a custom turbo..dayam =(


I am waiting for the mugen front air dam and the mugen tail. So hopefully it will look more aggressive with that.

That's a dayam sweet system!

DAYYUMMM 2 Thumbs UP!!! Man, those are some nice A$$ wheels! I sure miss those wheels. I called DAZZ and I asked if I could get custom made wheels for my Bimmer. They said that they would look into it and would have to call their manuf. to see if the can make a +20 offset 19X9 and 19X19.5.

Anyway, nice setup bro!

 

Damn that shit is sweet.

 

Dayammnnnn !!!! That ride is tight !!! Hey did u lower the car or not ?? what springs are u using ?? what do you think if I put the same rims in an unlowered TL !!

I think the rims are very nice, it might look a bit different with an unlowered TL, but i know if you are gonna put atleast comptech springs it should look and ride nice. Your thinking about a coilover system right Boston? As long as you eventually lower it a little it should look great.

 

I would love to see a 20 offset of these wheels, the deep dish effect would look so nice. you have got to post pics of that ac !!

 

Will do, but I'm not optimistic since DAZZ told me not to get my hopes up. Most of the MATIZ they make are already in a 45 or higher offset and they said slim chance, but not impossible, for them to make the 20 offset. They kept insisting "get the AC Schitzer". I don't like any of those wheels...so far, I think the MATIZ and the Lowenharts (the one Vision got) are the best wheels I've seen.

 

AC, regardless of what you put on the car, you are so lucky cause your rims will have a LIP!!! it will looks so tight... even some nice M wheels will look nicely.

 

Did you have to make your own faceplate for the new deck?

 

So fresh and so clean clean!!
Still haven't gotten that license plate yet.. hehe..

Guys, I've had the pleasure of seeing this car in person and it is bumpin!!

those are 19s if I remember correctly. And I don't think a spoiler could go on because of the amp built into the trunk lid.

GD! That stereo setup is sweet!

How much did that run you?

Nice!

 

yes, the face plate had to be fabricated out of billet aluminum,since its only a single din.

 

three words...WOW!

 

Sweet A/V setup!

 

whoa, hella nice set up... still have room for a spare?

nice job =)

thanks for the responses....
yes vision, i still have full access to the spare tire.

 

I might, i'm kinda confused about it , does coilover systems will require replacing the shocks as well especially when the car is lowered ?

Thanks. But I believe that the shocks included in the coilover systems will wear out too someday , right ? correct me if i'm wrong.
And what's the best coilover system in the market right now ? what about APEXis ?

True boston, it will need to be repalced anyways, but I am assuming that the shock is made to that specfic spring rate of the coilover. So manybe it will last a bit longer.

 

Doesn't Breyton make MATIZ look alikes for German cars?

 

I see , any recommendation on what system should i get ? what's the best in the market right now ?

AC : I don't know about that , i've seen some unfamiliar makers that come up with matis look alikes , but never breyton. Besides don't you want to try something new AC ? you said u like one of the lowenhart ?



<FONT COLOR="#800080" SIZE="1" FACE="Verdana, Arial">[This message has been edited by BostonTL on April 02, 2001 @ ]</font>

 

AC, spend the bucks and get something that will make us drool for the BMW!!!!

Boston, I am not sure whats "the best". To be honest, I like the koni w/ ground control set up. I occassionally drive fast, but i don't go racing in the canyons or anything. Some people like the next, etc... but I just couldn't shell out that kind of cash. It was easier to buy ground controls first, drive with stock shocks and wait, then order koni later.

 

Looking good man! I like the look without body kit and spoiler - like mine

 

Depends if the coilover systems have shocks also. Set like Nex and Tien, have the shocks included in the system. Ground Control only has the spring and coilover, you can use stock shocks. Like any other spring, when replacing it the shock will wear out at a faster rate. So replacing the stock shock will be inevitable if you want to retain ride quality.

 

TL Daddy, you never wanted a kit.. sometimes I want one, but I think I will just settle for the mugen front.
