I'm leaving my house now. I'll be there in 8 hours. I will also need housing and rental car accommodations until the job is done. Thanks.

Yes. I just want a change. I don't have the money for new rims. I'm actually happy with the car as a whole as it sits.

That's because she's a beauty

You should actually paint the window surround trim and the door handles black too since you have the grille blacked out.

That's prostitution.

I was always told that more than 1 dong is double penetration.

On teh seriuz, bronze would look pretty damn good. I loved the bronze on the CR-Kais I had, I just hated the wheels themselves




Once I get home I can do a few chops. My work laptop can barely handle opening email

Ok, two shitty chops:





The bronze didnt really come out the way I wanted since it looks more brown

I may do it again later when I have some more time, but so far, Im liking the lighter grey. It looks sporty.

Looks great!

Do the 01-03 taillights fit the 99-00 models? If so you should get them

Only the 02-03 tl had the tail lights with the clear at the top. I think it looks cleaner and is still one of my favorite things done to the car. On the plus side you can probably get them cheap out of a junk yard now too.

I was going to say paint them something funky like yellow or white. But your color choice is great.
