Loving the front shot. Holy smokes! Congrats on a sick build!

 

I didnt get to go, the picture I saw was on instagram.

Sucks you couldnt go to the show, especially cuz you werent able to see how your car was presented and to see the hard work pay off.

 

Sick!

 

That is ridiculous, car, wheel specs, and just everything in general.

 

got the 2g tl on lockdown mike 8)

 

Hands down, my new favorite 2g.

 

hey those are my pics LOL

mike's car is super hard in person!!!
here is a Wekfest shots that i found!

 

That's just not fair ^ too fuckin sick!

 

good form

 

that is just unreal. maybe i missed it but what are your wheel and tire specs?

 

Paint is amazing! Can't wait to see more! I thought you said you were going to do something old skool? I can't seem to point it out.... And were you going to color match your visors or something? Thanks for sharing!

 

team Praxis VIP Modular Line up Brown matrix on 20" Full Chrome VX110, Mikes 2G TL on 18" full Chrome VX310, Prestons Z on 18" brushed face w/ chrome lip VX110, mine 18" VX110 Dubai Gold Faces with Chrome Lips

 

F***ing sweet man! Why didn't you match the grill insert?

 

Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

subscribed... been waiting to see this car finished

 

DAM!!!! time to step my game up!!!

 

More pics soon! no paint on the grill, keeping it stock for now.

see below

i deff love how the rear came out with the roof/trunk lips, and the wheel lips poking..!

Thnak you!

i know bro, trust i wanted to go. but gotta do what i do, job first. next year I'll be there!

Thank you!!

haha lol yea you can thank jay for those pics! Thanks again!

haha thanks!

Weird angle with the wide angle, make the headlights look all huge haha. shows the paint well!

thanks man. Wheels came out to be:

VIP Modular VX-310
Triple dipped chrome finish
Brushed centercap
18x10 front w/ 215 40 TOYO T1s
18x11 rear w 245 35 TOYO T1s

Thanks! yea not finished of course. the "old school' accessory is not on the car yet. And ended up deciding against the visor color match. the fact that they dont meet in the middle was throwing it off.

$20,000+ in wheels right there. No lie.

thanks! not feeling the grill match right now maybe this summer if i change my mind!

Thanks again!


Still need to dial in the wheel fitment, I need to invest in a front camber kit.. Whats everybody running for a front camber kit? whats the best kit? i want to be able to air down all the way up front, and right now its lip to fender.

Deff not finished!

 

holy fucking shit dude

unbelievable

 

^^Phil Whatup!!^^

Thanks bro! I'm super stoked on the build so far. Keeping the TL alive!

 

Some updates..


Car is going back to DTM Autobody for a few final touches, final buff, etc..


Then heading to an interior guy for black suede pillars and roof.
I'm trying to decide on what to do with the seats.. I really like the TL's Type S seats.. but if i could get my hands on some CL Type S seats.. My girlfriends brother has a CL Type S with black interior.. hmmmmm hahaha


FYI.. My old wheels are for sale! PM me with an offer, Wheels AND Tires. Local pick up only in Garden Grove.

 

Fucking hell that's gorgeous. Congrats man, I love it.

 

Loving that red, its not over the top

 

I knew I should of went to wekfest so I could of seen this beauty in person!

 

You're in Garden Grove now? Lets go Cafe lu!

 

Amazing. The ride look deff bigger side to side and very nice proportion.

 

So.. this internet sucks out here.. and i cant quote anybody..


@CTtotheTL32: Thanks! Cool you keep your eyes on the 2G side once and a while!


@VoLLy: Appreciate it! The color was never going to be over the top. At first almost wanted the Lexus IS slate grayish color.. but figured it was too close to the original SSM. then i decided on a Lexus burgundy, the LS430 color (forgot the name). Then i switched AGAIN to Lexus Nobel Spinel Mica, A brighter Lexus red.. was set on that.. about to give DTM the paint codes.. then i saw the Mercedes Benz Barolo Red. I was sold instantly. the paint is a 100% BASF mix, if you know paints thats some of the best paint out there.


@KruzinSolo: Thanks! yea i wish i could have made it WITH my car! lol


@n1njai: YO! Cafe Lu! YES! hahah the wheels are at my buddies place in Garden Grove. but damn im up there so much i might as well live there!


@winhansse: i deff am feeling the 18's over the 19's, plus the rear fender was radius'd, which allows the wheels sit equally in the fender.

I'm honestly surprised this thread isn't overflowing with pics of the finished product. Cmon man!!!

 

Its not finished! Lol. Im not a huge fan of iPhone pics, once i have some good quality shots of the car I'll post em!

 

So dope! Props to you man, well done!

 

Need some rolling shots

 

it's not finished? its already baller enough to fit in at Wekfest. what else do you have planned?

 

Thank you!

Haha, thanks bro! Interior is happening very soon, i have something dope planned for the interior, rear window to be more specific, front camber, and a few more odds and ends. how do you like the SPC front camber kit? is it just the balljoint or the entire arm?

 

Just balljoint, and they are junk. Been through 3 sets. And I don't drive my car much.

 

Thanks for the heads up. That the only kit available? Will it allow more than -3 degrees?

Possibly my only option.
