Damn! Everything flows perfectly! I don't know why, but its beautiful. lol. And those are the BEST looking tips I have ever seen on a TL. I personally do not like the traditional 3A tip upgrade. Yours look great! What are they?

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I always try to keep the mods clean, and her clean literally but black paint is a harsh mistress!! Glad I didnt' do anything ugly yet.

Thanks man, they are 05-07 A-spec rims in Sparkle Silver. Dimensions are 18"x8J +45 offset. Tires are 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. 225 over 235 for 8" deep dish fitment reasons. Rubbing but going to cut tabs on the plastic and roll the metal part of fender. Only in the rear and because I have camber kit.

Yeah, tint laws stink... and so does the front plate law... Front is tinted by the way but just to protect my seats from UV and not get a ticket.

I will look for the thread and post the best ones, but if you need my flickr account with same SN has all the full res pics. The raws I stored on my desktop for any photoshop people.

I like the mugen too, but went with this one cuz I wanted it curved throughout vs. the point at the middle. Boku showed me his mugen and I like the rear break light idea.

Magnaflow Exhaust Tips (Slant Cut Double Wall Rolled Edge 3.5" Outlet) Part Number: 35206. I had the Pilot Motorsports before (like the 3A but chrome vs. SS) and boy I was sorry when they started rusting after 1 year. Plus I wasn't feeling the thick rolled edge it had. Found these after I got rear ended and had more time to look. I think they are much more aggressive.

... SUV got me. . I'll wait for those 70 dollar a day dent pullers or something. Or I'll do all at once. Sad thing is, I got another dink today from another car while at lunch. I parked hella far away where it was empty, and a SUV still parked next to me with all that space around me had to be right next to me. BTW it was not the perpetrator.

Yes, i do think our cars have a nice ass. The 07/08 Type S is growing on me (quad exhaust), but I'm still a 2nd gen freak so far.

Holy Crap they boosted the price on that one. It was $101 shipped for me after my car accident. Must be HOT right now then.
