some progress over the past year

lost my license for a year and almost about to get it back in a month woo!
heres whats been going on with the car for the past 5 months











my hood pics are kinda shitty but shows how flat the reflection of it is. (love black when its fresh!)




fxck chrome!


lightly tinted tails


puddle lights






car has a coat of wax to protect it from bodyshop dust. after the car is fully done it will get wiped off.
few more touch ups and the cars done wooo!!
car stance isnt set yet cuz i still need to install the camber kits and sideskirts. but will drop it like its hot when its fully done. stay tuned for pics in the next month!

Wow your car is looking mint! Nice work. Having a year off driving sure paid off for you with the TL. Are your handles black as well cause that would be sexy.

yes i applied matte vinyl onto it for wear and tear if i painted it it gets scratched fast and i like the contrast of matte on glossy didnt feel like sanding the chrome off. thinking of keeping it for awhile and maybe stick a charger into it. :P

More clearer and better pics!

not sure who josh is but ive had this tl for 2 years.. drove it for half a year an stored it till now.. get to drive it in a month though and would much rather work on my own car and call it my own then to buy someones thats already modified.. i work at a bodyshop as automotive refinisher so it aint a big deal. get alot of hookups for things.

headlights are painted myself.. took along time to take apart and reseal etc. but would do it again if i had to. love black headlights so much more then ugly chrome

and heres a couple pics of the rear. dropped it to what i want just need to do toe adjustment and camber.



tips with lip

that wouldn't be considered originality tho .. everybody has their own little taste . buying a modified car and modifying your own car are two different things . in the end, modifying your own car with your own little taste pays off in the end , cause you make it how you envisioned it.
