Damn bro maybe you should slow the fuck down ahaha. I dont know anything about radar jammers but in every radar thread I always hear about how good the V1 is. I just watch for brake lights on the freeway and take it easy on inside roads.

Nice mods coming your way, enjoy!

My radar jamming technique = not being the fastest idiot on the road. Has worked flawlessly for me for 15 years.

Seriously dude, I don't recommend bragging about street racing or speeding on this forum. You will get flamed and torn apart by basically everyone here and thats no exaggeration. Theres a racing subsection for a reason.

To add to your thread and original question, I'm not personally buying my car anything until spring time. Winters up in New York suck. Come April....I'd recommend you keep an eye on the photos section.

Funny you ask. I didn't think I would spend a lot but since I just bought a Dice ipod kit and I'm looking for some smoked sidemarkers, I'm not so sure. I only wanted to get the newest DVD for the navi and the switchblade key before the end of the year but that might not happen.

im thinking about buying a brand new rear bumper and hopefully the color will match my body. I kno the whole deal with the WDP color, but I am so optimistic that I can get it to match. and someone hit my rear bumper recently, it has two screw marks from the persons license plate frame. i usually park realli far, but I have no idea how to park safely in the city since its parallel parking.

Use to do deliveries in the city it's tough tring to protect your car and parking garage prices are ridiculous...... Love the Tl but hate the how the colors are off when it comes from the factory the bumpers and side skirts don't match body color.........

Nothing. I am tired of putting anymore money into a car that is almost 5 years old. My car-modding phase has been over for quite some times now and I would say to those who plans on modifying their car heavily. Save your money, it's pointless. But I will leave it at that, because like msyelf and many who has done it in the past will tell you, in the end, the value of the vehicle still goes down. I learned it the hard way and has put over 40,000 overall (including the car itself.)
This holiday, I plan on just driving the car. I have modified my car on every possible way you can think of, except the j-piping and the useless led/interior light crap.

Someone who thinks like me!

I won't mod it but since my rear shocks are gone, I'll probably replace with some Koni yellows.

The rest of my car fund is going toward a new gun and some ammo since I may not be able to buy one much longer lol.
