Not my car....but just wanted to share.

 

you could tell that was ssm.

looks soo blue that it looks chopppeedddd

 

Good eye, the engine bay?

 

still a nice looking TL. its different

 

nice, any more pics?

 

thats rich's car from Team Menace located in Seattle.
he's a really cool guy and went all out w/this TL. I'm buying my next set of coilovers from him haha.

he recently upgraded to an e60.

 

nice? that thing is phukin beautiful

best looking blue you can have on a car.

100% A+ except the ugly front plate. unnecessarry on a show car and it kills the front end

 

I agree w/the front plate. But its sick either way

 

Do you know any of the other members from Team Menace like John?

 

John who used to have the dc2?
yeh, i do.

teg buddies back in the day haha.

 

Any full shots of the car?

 

shame on all you guys, you guys dont see how different the car looks without the moldings, dam no REAR SHOT?? ......

 

from what i can tell they didnt do a good job.. instead of shaving them and making the door contour flush.. they just filled it in and left a dip down the door. id rather have teh moldings back instead of having the appearence of a LONG dent lol

 

That same dip is the body shape and its suppose to look like that, shaved moldings pretty much are when the holes are filled up......but Im sure it would look DIFFERNT because personally out of the years I had my TL, I never seen anyone with shaved moldings........and I shaved out the moldings on my old car and it looked much cleaner........

 

Small world, my gf works in the same dept as him at work.

 

haha crazy man.
team menace > *

they rep the NW harder than any other team imo.
i used to roll w/project one back in the day w/omar and them if you know about them.

 

I think it looks sweet. Finally something different.

 

Wait a minute...I've think I've seen pics of this one on the forums before.

If I recall this is the guy with bucket seats in his TL front and rear and a R33 conversion taillight...unless that was an accord.

 

thats a nice job but he should have went with the oem front

 

you are correct sir.

 

So any pics of that rear? lol.

 

Thats normal buddy? Its typical when you shave your moldings, like this integra.

 

what can you say bro, you and I know, but do they?

 

 

....It was cool at first, now its starting to lose its grip on me

 

^eww at the back end

 

Interesting look indeed........on a side note, i dont think that integra shaved its side moldings, i think its a legit ITR where there were no side modlings in the first place. I might be wrong though.

 

lol... but "they know" so just let them rage on with their knowledge.

ive seen plenty of molding jobs finished clean and flush.

 

i guess he shaved his moldings too?



this is what a shaved door is supposed to look like

omfg sweet Outback!

 

Wrong, shaving the moldings means it would appear that nothing was ever there. What you are talking about is just filling in some clip holes.

Correct

 

Sorry buddy, you are incorrect. This is not a legit ITR, ITRs do not come with a sunroof.

 

Serious guys? The teal integra's molding goes inwards towards the door, so its like a dent/hole in the door so you fill it in, thats why its flush. That newer integra, or that R, has just holes, so when you shave it, you just fill in the holes. Civics are like that teal integra, if you take out the moldings, theres just a long grove with no moldings, so they fill it in. Like the a cx civic hb has no molding so you have to fill it in.



Thats why some shaved molding are flush and some arent.

 

Oh yeah, car was sick till I saw the rear. This must be way back in the day, stupid conversion and black widow spoiler looks stupid as well, but I give mad props to their body guy.

 

i guess?

i've never met/saw anyone who paid money to get rid of door moldings only to leave an inverted version of it on the door.. the purpose of shaving moldings is to give it a smoother cleaner look... not to replace something poking out with something poking in....

im sure there are many cars with doors done like that hatch.. doesnt mean its not ugly

shaving = smooth SHAVED surface... not leaving indentions in the car.

would you shave a door handle and leave the hole were it used to be just bondo'ed up? no

but whutev mang... people spend their money how they want i guess

all i was getting at was he had put so much money into the car yet looked over something cosmetic that could easily have been done much cleaner

 

yeh but filling in clip holes are apart of the shaved look bro, I usually seen people just pop off the molding and get the holes filled, that so called "dent" remains but looks much cleaner without the moldings......

 

At least you know what I'm talking about man. Not trying to start anything here, just stating the differences. And that hatch i was stating comes stock like that, cx does not come with moldings.

 

gotcha

 

yeh man I def hear you......., keep it Fresh

 

damn jdm, youre car is dumped as f
