IMPORTANT Q's from 1st tyme poster!

Hey all u TLerz out there! I just joined yesterday and I spent hours at work searching for pics of 02TL Type-S on dubz on here. I urgently neeeeed to see how it loox! I been on this site every day since I bought my TL but finally joined to use the search feature and still didnt find anything. I would love it if someone, anyone, could pleez post a pic of a 2nd gen TL on dubs (prefferably NBP). And no, I dont need any flamers 'cause I've seen how everyone starts flamin when the word "dubs" is mentioned. This is very urgent because there's a 99% chance that I'm getting them put on in under an HOUR. Also, unrelated, I'm getting my tranny fluid changed at the stealership today, anyone care to share price quotes?

P.S. LOVE almost all u guyz' rydez! REPREZENT for TLz! (TL=True Love) I'll appreciate any and all replies. Thanks in advance.

Well, I guess I'll just keep talkin til someone replies... Why does the stealership give me a different price every time I call to ask how much they charge for a tranny fluid change?

you mean like this?







I remember when I asked my dealership about an ATF change, they wanted at least $80. I went in and bought the fluid for 1/4 that price and just brought it to my mechanic's shop and he did it for $15.

why would you get dubs? I guess we just have a difference of opinion as to what looks good on a TL. How big are the wheels you're getting?

They won't look bad as long as they are under 19" and the car is lowered. Anything over 19 is overkill on a TL, IMO.

But hey, if he likes it, Whatever makes you happy!

You're welcome! I know there was more on the 2G picture gallery. Sometimes the search doesn't bring up everything that's available. What size rims are you planning on getting, if you don't mind me asking? Most of the people here that have rims are on 18's and 19's, if you are looking for that size range, ALOT of people have them. Anything over that, good luck.

What rims are you putting on those tires though?

I'm not going to judge...I just wanted to see a pic of the rims that you're interested in. It might look nice, I don't know

225? If you are going with DUB's you are looking at an 8 - 8.5 wheel, you might as well go with some 235/35/20 rubber. And I hope you find a very high offset to fit those bad boys.. something like +49 or even +51

If you have Sprint with the vision package you can upload the pic to your account on sprint's website and from there, save the pic to your computer and then upload it on Imageshack and post the pic on here.

What brand are they?

You've gotta be the most retarded TL driver I've ever seen... How old are you like 15? You honestly think anyone's going to help you talking like that? All those TLs /rims are ugly as shit. They don't have ANY class whatsoever. Looks like something 50 cent and the G-Unit would put on their rides .

you guys want dubs so bad...i was going to get a set, but the cost outweighed the benefit...and my car is on air. the only dubs i would say to get are work euroline LS. they come in a 20 by 8 with a 48-55 offset. you can run a 225 35 20 tire on there, cuz they dont make 235 35 20. last time i chked with wheeloptions, they were $3700.00 for just the rims shipped.

Nah, come to think about it, you're right 19's are the biggest to go

Just watch out for potholes....


Everybody remember these pics? I had to search for the thread I posted them in... took a bit, but I found it.

I don't agree with the "most retarded TL driver" part, but i agree with the part talking about the way you type (z's everywhere, etc) and also the part about the ugly TLs, oh and the G-Unit part too...

I've seen TLs on 20s that looked pretty nice, but they were slammed and they had other mods to complete the look...

btw, i'm not hating, just throwing in my

cuz honestly man i think you should do whatever floats your boat! It's your car, not anyone else's.
