im sorry bro, that prefabbed license plate holder doesnt kill anything, your lookin at a car that currently has it on and I hear or see no Complains ......that shit is OFFICAL, IMO it gives the 99s a more luxary look, like the plate belongs there......
Yo Phrosttz0 post pics of your car bro, show them how sick the JDM front bumper looks in WHITE!!!

your basically saying that same bumper without the plate holder wouldnt be better looking.. and thats just.... bonkers...
i guess where your'e from its normal... we dont have front plates here and i think they look retarded.
therefor, its the only reason i havent bought one. b/c i really like the fogs.
and yes, that car is amazing.. but how much more amazing would it be with a smoothe front bumper? much more....

it is funny how when the op was posting the car for sale here people are bashing the car don't worth that much. and now with all the "sssick" comments lol. there is a reason why his car look the way it is, the owner spend the $ to get it done right. those who bashed simply just "don't get it" and their tl will always be just trying.
to be honest i think it is a waste of time to even show it to here, it is just not at the same level.

jdm front bumper and lip kit... wheels with good offset and the right drop?
not sure if your implying that this car is out of anyones league here.. obviously you dont spend alot of time here or you would know tons of guys have the same exterior look.
you could achieve the look of his car with the low side of 3-5k in your pocket. not really out of reach
stick with tsx. if youre good at that? before bashing the TL guys. they have earned the right to their opinions.

and special? does it do magic? its just a car. we all appreciate hard work. but it doesnt affect our lives :slap:
it seems youre giving the guy more credit then credit is due. we compliment b/c we like the look.. not because we hold him in a higher class then us.

Bro you sound so stupid, re-read your posts and yourself, your homeboy justt got some sick rims, JDM frontbumper, 3pcwing, and some dark tints, painted door handles, sitting good but you make it sound like SHIT special class my ass, his car looks good no dout about that but you sound stuck up like a straight up female, "special class" , "not worth posting on here" if your gonna say stupid shit like that just stay off the forums then, noone wants to hear your female opinions...... and your making the 808 sound so stupid with the shit you say forreal........your posts just dont make any sense, lay off the haterade......

you are right...that is why i said it is a waste of time for the pictures, some of you will never really appeciate it. it is just a car. we are all average joes here.

1k of coilovers will achieve the same look and drop.. just have to drive more carefully as it is semi-permenant...
and for TSX.. you give me 6k for the exterior look of a TL and it WILL be on another level, i promise you that.
i've only dumped about 2k into the outside of my car, and its already worlds apart from a stock TL. give me 4 more thousand dollars.. and some crazy shit would be goin down.
we understand what you were saying.. but you were just looking for trouble saying that the people in our forum are held to a substandard to that car.

Im the one who said 25K is too much for the car. 10 year old car that books for ~6k with some mods (19K?) doesnt add up to 25k IMO. Its one thing to take the value of said mods, take 60-70% off and base your sale price on that, but seems to me like he is trying to get cost of labor out as well. Anyone that has built anything, whether it be a drag car, drift car, or school bus knows that youre not going to get dollar for dollar out of what you put in.
Come off your high horse man..
Thats right, flame on...
oh and JDM Inspired-its a chop..courtesy of remi.. I would paint that color if I had the $$$$

I sold my T/A a while back..only got about 1/3 of what I had in it. 9,000 for the car originally, ~12K for the engine, probably 12K more in suspension, wheels, slicks, etc. and about 6K in driveline. Car booked ~6K when I sold it. 36,000 for an 87 Trans Am? (and thats not including my probably 12k or so worth of labor) You really think I could have got that?
The sad truth behind customizing something and trying to resell it-its such a small market. IMO I would much rather start from scratch and build it myself than buy something that has already been customized

i am just saying what it is. it takes $ to make the car look nice, and this case really nice. car lose its value no matter what we knew that. however there is a small group of people who is willing to do it. those are the one that is not gonna complain spending x amount on something that is worth 6k. those are the one that will understand what it is really worth.
to be honest i personally knew the owner/family of the car, that is why i don't like how some of you posted that the car don't worth that much and at the sametime say it only takes 3-5k to make. i knew exactly how much he spent. these pictures don't even do its justice because you guys never see it in person and i have.
i see/work on alot of modified cars daily, some of the finest one on the island.
what i am saying is if it is really that easy to duplicate this one. then it is not really special to you guys anymore right? it is just a car no?
yes the owner did keep it underground, what is his post count here? he never did take picture of his own car to post up. you guys are lucky that someone else took pictures and posted here.
those who question my user name and my post count, yes i own a tl for 6 years, but i never own a tsx.

^ yea its been a good season so far. I tune in every week. Ron should make a section for JDMInspired.
Im not going to lie though, he has good points in his arguements so you have to defend the guy sometimes.

bah. cliffnotes are
1. car is too high priced for sale at $25k (if that is the case, i havent even seen that anywhere but im not on here often... nor have i seen it in local for sale papers/ads but im not really looking either)
2. car's nice, anyone could do it with time and money, no one here really has though, big deal.
period.
i love the cars that come outta HI (obviously) but i dont think they're godsent gifts from heaven either. brandon's got some goodies on his tl for damn sure, but there are other jawdroppers here too, airrunner or not... malayeekings, didwork19, 02act, samson, mikey3.2, jashaa etc... just to name a few
peeps get bent outta shape with the whole "its not worthy of this website" vibe that was first given off. its sick as hell, but not unachievable.
