Very nice, I wanted these when I was modding my car. I could never find a good deal used and didn't want to pay up for a new pair.

No not yet, but I sold almost everything after market that I had for the car. Figured it was a waste of my money. I might be keeping it for a while yet, but if someone I know needs a good car for cheap I might sell it to help them out. I will definitely have it at least till October at this point, especially if the weather continues the same way. When its 85+ and humid ice sells really well for some odd reason, it brings in the money at the end of the year.

Yes. I agree with that.

Do you have any idea in order to fix this problem on OEM muffler 3A tips with WW rear lip?

im waiting for you to get a drop....also i saw some pics you posted up a while ago when you got your car repainted and got the kit put on and I noticed that your headlights didnt have that look that most shower glass doors have...light goes through but you really cant see through it, blurry...i noticed they were clear on the part where the HID lights through....i dont think anyone understands what im talkin about but im pretty sure you will.

you still havent answered my question, imguessing you didnt get what im sayin but ill explain further with photographs......Look at your headlights.....


Now Look at Pizaul's Headlights which are the same as my TL and most other 99/00 TL's out there (chose him cause i couldnt find a pic of my car to show the headlights like this and plus his car is just beastly)



Notice how your headlights (where the HID Bulb outputs its light) is clear unlike Pizauls or other 99's out there. Ours seem hazy and its not cause the plastic that is outside but it seems like a shower glass on the inside. Your headlights prolly look so good with the HID on. Where did you get them or how did you do it?

sorry for talkin bout somethin other than your Comptech's

Guys, the headlights for Caligirl, the glass is out. Look closely. Inside of the headlight, you have the glass, and then behind it goes the bulb. The glass is taken out..

Cali, can you get a night picture for us, with the headlights on? I want to see if it makes a difference. From the front and side please

99-01, ALL THE SAME! Just to clear that up. Her's is modded

Wicked TL

I love the lines on your TL. It reminds me to debadge my TL.

Did you install new muffler hangers? If not, then maybe all that is needed is fresh ones. They sag over time combined with the removal and reinstallation stretches them further.

Just curious as I will be putting on the same exhaust later in the year.

Interesting start up sound.. Do you have the stock resonator or a straight pipe? And definitely get the exhaust up some more -- doesn't look very good w/ the lip.

Not a fan of the 99-01 fronts, but those headlights look much nicer, however they are modded.
