Thank you guys!!

But, what about the moonroof spoiler? Yei or Nay?

I like the idea, of being noise free on the highway, but i think it makes the car looks narrower... so I dunno.

Looks good! My moonroof spoiler has been on for a few years, I'm afraid to take it off because I think it will leave a mark. Besides, it doesn't look too bad.

cars is lookink sick to me. I was debating on getting a moonroof spoiler, but in the last pic, it discourages me to get one. I agree with you it does make the car lok more narrower. It looks to small for the car, but I love the door visor. what rims are those?

Hm, what did you do with your taillights? I have a `99 NBP TL, and I don`t like the amber part, but I don`t have enough for `02 taillights. What did you do to it?

thavietboy, thanx man, yeah, thats my dilemma...and rim wise, those are Ace Mantas, 18"s

slikz, i used ORACLE tint film to darken it. I dont like 02/03 tails, i mean i do, but every TL has them, and its a bit boring.

nathanli thanx, but i dont know what u r asking me, sorry, the side mirrors? they are regular mirrors man.

Look man I am sorry for raggin your car I think it look alright, but I would get rid of those rainguards and the neons a have them professionally installed.



P.S
If you are a smoker the rainguards cool. I am a smoker and I hate when it fucking rains because the rain comes right in the fucking car, but I just can't put those things on my car.

Tl_TypeS thanx..

TAYZ, its all g00d, thanx as well. I am a smoker, thus the guards and the moonroof visor....thats why its a hard decision of losing the moonroof spoiler, but losing the JDM rainguards? Never Almost no one has them.


Neons? I dont know where u got the neon parts, I have only 2, both hidden..for the footwell lighting, maybe bad pix? the rest are LEDs. When it comes to electronical installations, I am the man.

Are you sure your rims are hyper dark? It looks like silver to me.

What r u all talking about, the side wind deflectors are about the only good thing he has going.

I'd say lose the side Mirrors, roof deflector and wheels, in that order.

Looks good. Clean with the exception of the tinted tail lights. You should consider swapping to the 02-03 tails.

IMHO, taking away the sun roof spoiler would slim down the side profile a bit.

Thanks guy for all yer comments.

D.Jeckle please pull the torn outta yer butt breathe. lol

TLsNavi yep, Floyed I love that place

And yes, they are hyperblack, believe it or not, I really like 'em, they shine beautfully, plus everything else besides the spokes is darker. I dunno, Im happy with them. I've hit crazy potholes where I thought I just broke an axle, and the rims are holding up very nice.

I've noticed im being told to remove stuff that almost no one here has because its not easy to get.

Those fogs are Multisurface Projection foglights, they are awesome, especially in bad weather.

Teknoking, what drop are you running? I think you should loose the roof spoiler and your good to go, it would give the car a more cleaner look. Where do you get the oracle tint film that you used to tint your tails? The tint your using on your windows, is it 35 or 20%?

hey tekno, if you remove the roof visor, make sure to clay bar it and wax that area and check for scratches. I've read in the past that dirt gets stuck under there and causes scratches.

Hey Techno, looking good bro, nice clean lines, nice rims. I'm kind of on the fence as well with the roof visor, I have the weathertech door visors and as a smoker the roof visor would come in handy also, but still not sure.

Peace, Jeff
