That car is very, very nice looking. The paint looks brand new, and those 02-03 tail lights make the back look 10x better.

WOW, it looks great. That car looks brand new. I agree with the others, the 02-03 tails look amazing on that car. The license frame is really nice w/out being too flashy. Instead of an OEM rear spoiler, I think that car would look great with just the decklind strip. Congrats on getting her back =)

Regardless the 02-03 tail lights makes the TL look a lot better. I think the 99-01 TL's should of came with it in the first place.

love the frame I was thinking of getting another one for the back... but think that may be a little overkill on the bling lol glad everyone likes it though! I was thinking of getting that spoiler... I really wanted to get a sharkfin antenna because the antenna in the rear window is just not cutting it too much static and I think the lip spoiler will look really good with it... BUT my boyfriend thinks it will look ugly lol... Thanks!

AGREED!! That amber was just disgusting especially on the FPR the colors just clashed WAY too much the white gives it alot cleaner of a look in my opinion.


Thanks for the compliments guys! more stuff to come = more pictures!!! Any suggestions on future mods? so far I have (waiting for good weather to install) black housed headlights... chrome pillars... and eyelids (allthough Im not sure if Im feeling the eyelids anymore...)

^^ If you wanna go for a cheap mod you can get ur intake resonator taken off and buy a K&N filter.

Did you want to go for show or more go? Also, what's ur budget on mods?

on the blacked out heads. I haven't seen them lately on eBay but keep an eye out or DIY.
on the chrome pillars. If yours are faded (which they probably are) just get them redone in black.



Like Unkn0VV17 said, we need to know what direction you're heading.

Heard about that once before... if the weather decides to be nice Im gonna do that this weekend... as far as what Im going for... I want the car to still look classy not riced out but still be able to get up and go... I plan on dropping her a bit getting new exhaust new headers new intake new tires and rims... my budget? eekk lol its pretty much whatever I can save up its going to be a pretty long process getting all the work done Im thinking around $3-4k total on mods considering the exhaust and headers alone is gonna cost me about $1500... my main problem is finding the parts... but this forum is definently helping out

I think the chrome pillars will look good once the windows are tinted I plan on tinting them about %20 ... if they end up looking like shit I can always just take them off lol... is there a DIY for repainting the pillars? just in case lol (I know I should search)

Let's see...

Exterior...the only things that would look good is OEM lip kit or Wings West lip kit. You can also mix and match them too. All the other bodykits out there looks like crap.

Suspension...You can either go coilovers or springs and shocks. Coilovers theres a few that you can choose from but most go for the Tein Basic or the SS. As for the springs and shocks theres a lot to choose from, but the most popular is the H&R sport with tokico shocks. There's better shocks to choose from also.

Wheels/Tires...too many to choose...so it's ur pick.

Performance...With headers there are a few out there. Comptech, DC Sports, SS Autochrome, etc. If you want to fork over 1000 dollars you can get the Comptech. If not, cheaper solution would be the SS Autochrome. Quite a bit of people here likes them.

Exhaust...Apexi WS, Tanabe, Custom Magnaflow, and a few others u can customize.

Intake...AEM CAI/V2, Injen, cheapy stuff off ebay (i wouldn't recommend)

Oh yea, you can also upgrade the pulley...UR Crank Pulley.

There's a few other mods you can do to the car, but i think i spoke too much. Hey, can't blame me...i'm sitting at school doing nothing... I'M BORED! lol

Also, check with our venders

wow thanks Unkn0VV17 please feel free to speak too much lol definently helpful... Im think of getting comptech exhaust with DC sports headers... my boyfriend said he could customize an exhaust system for me but thats gonna be alot of work. ANYWAYS Ill definently look into some of the products you brought up... its amazing how difficult it is to find stuff or our cars (atleast the 99's).

Oh took a couple of pictures at the beach...




sexy eh? lol

Looking good for sure! Your paint is beautiful. Mine is tinted at 30 or 35% and I wish I had gone a little bit darker - 20 or 25% would have been perfect I think. That last beach shot shows the beauty of your paint and the sexiness of the color in general.

Like I mentioned in my thread - I wasn't excited about FPR at first, but it's def grown on me in a big way. Have you done anything to the interior?

The blaze kit looks really good, though nearly impossible to find.
