**Some Weekend Clean-Up before the MASS meet.** (pics)

OKay so i threw on the '04 TL stockies..which only exposed my rusted rotors even more. SO this weekend i decide to clean it up a little. You might like it, and you might not.. the important thing is that I DO!

Pics of course...some were taken with my Treo, others with the digicam

...First one is of the painted area without the wheel..



Wheel on peekaboo shot...



Wheel shot....(Yeah those are the Yokohama Tires I copped @ a discounted price last weekend)





And Another...



Quarter shot...



And as it sits now....



The '04 wheels are temporary and will hit the Black Market as soon as I am done with finishing of the TL-S stockies I have..

Next up : HID Fogs..anyone got stock fogs for sale?

Tein drop.. 1.8 (supposedly) all the way around .. And that tire shine wont splatter off. Its the Amor All Extreme Tire Shine.. Never had a problem with it!

Im going to shave/roll the fenders to avoid rubbing in the rear as these wheels are 17x8..

Your ride looks good with the 04 stocks, what are you doing to your TL-S wheels?

Thanks for the compliment.

Custom polishing and painting. I am not sure on the color as of yet but the polishing part is underway! I am leaning towards SSM at this point and time but I am not sure.



I was going to go with 19 " Axis Hiros but the roads in MA suck like a truckstop Prosty!!!

That's why I went with 18's...better off for driving in MA (and tires are cheaper). See you at the meet!

You can if you want to. It just may take some time...I am about to get some Rotora Slotted from this guy Exelerate04 or something on the board. He gave me a great price shipped to my door.

The color was "Cast Allumnium".. you need to prep the surface.. wire brushes work great.. Scotch bright works great after that!!!

Clean the parts with brake part cleaner.. and shoot!
