BlackShadow

I finally did it. I have been hiding this for a few months and now it is time. I would like to thank Ken, 1999TL, ValueTL, Bigman, mp3coupe for their inspiration and help.

What was done to my TL:

- Value Sport front bumper w/fogs
- Mugen grill
- Took out the pinstripe
- Got new paint-job
- Got new tires (Nitto NT450 225/45/17)

tuRb0mikEy

Looks way cool..but I dont like the wheels cuz chrome kinda clashes with the clean JDM look...

Tatewaki

Looking good! That must have costed you a fortune! When it gets warmer, we need to do the Niagara meet again

BlackShadow

Let's just say A LOT! :wow:

BlackShadow

Thanks...I guess.

BlackShadow

Yes it did.

This time, you Canadian guys need to drive down here for a meet.

tuRb0mikEy

haha if you dig it then whatever i say is meaningless. i'm just not a fan of chrome..

BlackShadow

I know. I'm just busting your chops.

Do you have anything planned for the difference in size of the JDM license plate and the US plate? ...maybe a license plate frame?

Binh,

Great job to the car! Aren't you a bit worried that you're going to 'bottom out' your brand new Value front bumper??? I remember seeing your OEM kit back in Niagara ...

Great job. I was thinking of driving down to NJ area in August for a friend's wedding but was getting cold feet with all the HID 'jackings ... safe to bring a Canadian car down? (I read that they're keying / smashing windows on Canadian cars due to us not helping 'the cause' ...) What's this world coming to?

Hey man, nice work to the whip..very clean...I was wonderin how much it cost you for a new paint job cause I live in northern Jersey and I am thinkin about changing my color. Thanks

TypeSDragon

All I can say is :wow: Looking good as always!

BlackShadow

Thanks.

If you want, e-mail me and I'll tell you the price.

BlackShadow

Thanks!

I need a new paint job cause I had so many scratches on my hood before that you could've played tic-tac-toe on it. And since I had to paint the value bumper I figured might as well paint everything else.

BlackShadow

I like the moonroof visor thingy. Plus it does the job well.

BlackShadow

Thanks!

Sandeep, how come you didn't go to the meet? Hope to catch you at the next meet.

BlackShadow

Thanks Paul! I knew you had an idea. Took me a while but I finally got it.

BlackShadow

You better show up to the next meet.

BlackShadow

Thanks bro!

BlackShadow

Thanks!

I have Giovanna Madrid II which I believe is discontinued so I am happy.

BlackShadow

Yea, I ran into a little problem with the license plate/holder. The JDM license plate holder holes are wider than the US spec license plate holes. So instead of getting a license plate frame, I had a friend drill 2 extra holes on my license plate to match up with the JDM bumper. I wish I could've left the license plate off but the cops will pull me over in a second. Plus my car has too many illegal stuff on it anyways so why risk it.

BlackShadow

Thanks for the honor!

BlackShadow

Sup Derrick,

Believe it or not I am not as low as I was last year. I don't want to mess up the Value bumper so I didn't want to go too low.

Where does your friend live in NJ? Not all of jersey is bad.:p Just don't take your car to the city. Oh and where the hell did you hear about canadian cars being picked on?

But if you do decide to come down, give me a ring so we can hang out.

BlackShadow

Well I got it painted with the same color. I think it might be more if you change the color.

Mr Hyde

Dude my car was a mess, and considering how bad it looked on Saturday, I didnt bother cleaning her up. Next time Im there though for sure.

Hey what did you end up repainting besides the bumper and hood???
