My name is Ben and this is my first thread on here. I'm 22, from SC. I have lurked here for a few years, ever since I purchused my 2002 Type-S. I bought it with 86,xxx miles and have already managed to bring it to 161,xxx. It is currently on its second tranny. It is my daily driver, with my stang further down as major money pit. Minor mods are as follows...

5% tint all around
50% entire windshield
Debadged Acura and 3.2TL
Hardwired Valentine 1
OEM headlights matched to A-Spec look
Foglights retrofitted with Lexus IS300 projector fogs
4300k H3 HID kit in projector fogs
K&N Air filter
Holes shaved on front bumper

All light work was outsourced so I don't have a DIY.

All pics taken with point and shoot Sony 7.2 mp. Here we go...


























Last pic is of the place that does the best tint work around this area, just had to give them a good plug.


I mainly have posted on SVTperformance.com. Here is my 96 Ford Mustang Cobra that I've had since I was 15. The paint on it is stock, with Ford having painted 1999 cobras this color. Mods are...

Bassani mid-length headers
Bassani x-pipe w/cats
Borla XS mufflers with turndowns
Maximum Motorsports coil-overs front/rear with Bilsteins
Powerslot rotors
10th aniversary calipers
T-56 6-speed transmission
Spec stage 2 clutch
Fidanza aluminum flywheel
Ford aluminum driveshaft
Built rear end with 31 spline differential and axles
Fluidyne radiator
MGW shifter
10th aniversary door panels
Dynamat xtreme door panels

tl pics arent showing up for me, but I like the mustang picture. I usually dont like the older fourth gens body style as much, but yours looks really good

Out99sider

trying to edit and it won't let me fix pics. can mod let me edit please?

-Vip3r-

i jsut quoted your post and copy and pasted one of the links.. btw your img links are all the same for the tl pics, that may be the problem..

anyways looking good, do you have any night pics with the projector fogs on?? i always wanted to do projector fogs but don't like the idea of having them look like small circles when they're on with the regular lowbeams.. (i had an 93 es300 with projector yellow fogs..man i miss them lol)

Both cars are very clean that paint job is pretty slick, rare.

How much does the stang put to the rear wheels?

FOGS ARE DOPE

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

dam bro, yours pics are small.. can't see. lol

fogs look AMAZING!!!

in for night pics. =]

i think those fogs would look like TITS with volly's retrofits..

Steen27

Ben,

Clean cars... like to see a small drop on both, something like Eibach Pro Kit that keeps the ride nice and gives it a clean look without sacrificing ride quality - but otherwise you have em nice and clean.

+12 on the night time fog pics....

VoLLy

I would love to see the output of those fogs at night.

x2 on fogs, wow never seen that b4 and not a fan of mustangs... but urs is lookin pretty sweet

Out99sider

thanks for the compliments ya'll. the mustang is on coilovers and is just about perfect height to prevent bottoming out on speedbumps. i agree though, the TL needs a nice subtle drop, nothing crazy. night time pics will definitely happen, I just have to work on aiming the fogs toward the ground and adjust them a little more to make them a little more equal.

as for the mustang, without a tune and bad plugs, it just dynoed at 275 hp,275 tq so i'm hoping for 290+ after a couple things.

thanks again

STYPE630

eleventure

For 161,XXX miles, your TL looks super clean.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

mostly on crown vics and caprice's around here...

1st time i've ever seen that on a stock car....
not bad though...

oh and im seeing things or are the headlights blacked out? thought it said they were body matched...

'03TL-S

iTrader: (10)

It's blacked out, but A-spec style to him i suppose. Looks good though.

A-spec headlights are body colored right?

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

yea.. body color matched to the car they are on.

blue headlights on the blue and black on the black cars.

i was looking for silver on silver.. but i get what he was saying i guess.

02type-s

Both look great! Never seen that foglight mod before, I like it

Bread-A Spec

That Cobra is downright is gorgeous man. One guy used to have one like that at my dad's work. The paint is trippy but sweet

Maybe phil could show us his projector fogs, i first saw projector fogs on his car but never saw night pics....

Out99sider

Took awhile but finally got to aiming these right and taking some pics of the light output in a parking garage. Check em out!

Keep in mind, these are yellow lensed Lexus projectors with 4300K bulbs going thru them. This is for maximum light output in mind, not necessarily for a straight yellow look (Would have gone with 3000k bulbs in addition). Light output with these vs. just headlights in night and day.

Sick man!

Very nice

NoLimitDeC

shweeet! i think a combo with 3000K fogs w/ yellow lens and 5-6000K for the heads would look sicker!! more lexus-esque? lol

JCharged

iTrader: (5)

Love what you did. Subtle and nice.

iTrader: (4)
