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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Possibly my only option.
