I think detailing the NBP (darker) colors is soooo rewarding....

Trust me, you don't want the JDM one. This wing looks so much better, and you get to rock one of the rarest parts for this car.

I like the aggressive looks of the inspire spoiler, plus how it sweeps back past the edge of the trunk. The lights on the top are a nice touch, and so would be hooking up the reverse camera to my double din. But then I also really do like the subtlety of the mugen one. we'll see wen the time comes.

Those are the exact reasons i like the jdm spoiler also,but the mugen is more subtle. Nice mugen hairy.

Thank you Sir....I usually do a full detail once a year, right before winter...keeps the car protected from all the contaminants....

wash/clay/polish/wax/seal....

then its usually just a wash and wax or quick detail to bring the shine out

Haven't driven the car in about 4-5 months. Went the other day to uncover it, wash it, wax it, replace the battery and drive it around the block a few times. I hate to see it sit but I just don't have the time to tinker around with it :-(

modded my aunt's 2001 TL. She had one rule: you can't lower it or change its driving dynamics. So I decided just to keep the whole thing OEM-style

So I chose gunmetal Moda split 5-spokes that looked a lot like the OEM ones. Kept oem tire size for comfort. Tinted her windows, and got my hands on (a while ago) the now discontinued OEM black chrome emblems. Also added DEPO tinted 02 tails.

What size are these tires? The rims look like Raijin which is what i have now. I just ordered some 235/40 with stock suspension. Hope they work and look as good as your!!
