Are you cereal? (haha) Whoa, I'm honored. I've always wanted to have a car that I could enjoy as my wallpaper. I have the second shot as my wallpaper. I love that angle so much. Awesome man

Cheers dude, glad you appreciate my exterior accents as much as I enjoy your interior trim. See why I'm considering my interior as well?

Preciate it Slammed. It's how you keep a 10 year old car looking half her age. She's been filthy for the past 3 weeks because it keeps raining on and off and I've been busy but today she got a bath. I really LOVE seeing my color when it's clean, looks brilliant in the late day sun.

Haha thanks man, too bad I'm all the way up in Canadia hey. Cheers..I wish I had some more TL buddies. There's a group of cool guys around Edmonton that I met at a meet last month, but I was the only one reppin' 2Gs. It's a mad 3G crowd around the city. I certainly caught their attention with my wicked exhaust, I had them in a semi-circle behind my car listening and checking it out haha.

I wash mine everyday as a salute to it's beauty =)

as for money on the ride, yeah it's a hard pill to swallow. But think of how much your car means to you, it only grows with age

Why else do we buy 1000$ lip kits and 2k$ rims and suspensions and exhausts for a 7-12 year old people mover? Cuz we're insane, and we love every minute of it =)

this.

Super clean. Dont debadge it. if anything remove the TL- Type S badge, thats it. the others fill out the trunk nicely. And those exhausts flow well with your car surprisingly!

Thanks a lot ACT, 'preciate the kind words. You know it took a while but I enjoy the ridiculousness of my exhaust. The important thing is it sounds mean as hell.

I'm riding on Tein Basics (wouldn't recommend them anymore), and I used the reference height which I imagine is 2.1-2.2" drop in the front and 1.7" in the rear.

Both options look great if done properly. I've seen the work of plasti-dip in person and the results were excellent.

For sure man. If I have the time that'd be good. Shoot me a message and we can work something out.

As previously said, damn nice job man.

I like the carbon front grill surrounding, and I'd try it on mine, but Im afraid that it might look tacky/ricy on my WDP 03'.

Hehe thanks a lot man. Never get tired of hearing it. I hope I'm one of the many members who's great ride inspires other new members.

Thanks I think there was a member with a WDP who put di-noc on his b-pillars. Just search carbon fiber vinyl or di-noc and look through a bunch of the results. Still tough to say if it would look good. Still trying to picture it in my head with all the accents I have and I'm not sure how it would flow.

There is such a fine line between tasteful and tacky; sometimes you simply have to take a risk to see how you can make something work. Example: My exhaust mufflers/tips could be considered ricey or tacky, but since I've tucked them nicely, put a lip kit on and tried to keep them polished I made them look respectable.

The kind comments are always appreciated. Thanks guys

Unfortunately this summer has been brutal and full of rain making it difficult to keep my baby as clean as you see in those pictures. Whenever it's hot and sunny there's rain in the evening. Kind of pointless to wash the car so it stays dirty for a while.

I believe my buddy Kevin just did a quick edit in Photoshop. As far as I know, not too much was done.
