Watts up guys i have a 06 WDP auto tl. It's bone stock except for the a-spec kit and im looking to do some mods for the summer, nothing to pricey. I was thinking CAI and some new interior lights ( different color), tinting out the tail lights, and painting my head lights black inside, if anyone else has some mods please share them with me.

Ok...to help you get started....

CAI....get an AEM unit...ebay or a vendor on here will have competitive pricing.

Tinting out tails....search Rockblocker...a vendor on here. I have some extras I never used if you want em. PM me offer if interested. Tails and rear side markers tint precut to fit. Say $50?

Painting headlights. I am assuming you meaning "clearing your headlights" search that term....you will get several threads with do it yourself directions.

As far as other mods....

Search...Shaved Doorlock mod ($12)
Shorten Door lock stubs mod (free)
I cant help you with LED mods....I consider them :ghey: personally...but Kennedy is well versed on LED mods and should be able to point you in the right direction. Search his SN or PM him. He will have lots of stuff for cheap you can do that you are likley to find cool. Nothing against them....just not into it on that end.

Debadging. (Free)
UR underdrive crank pulley ($175)
Outlaw Thermoblok spacers ($95)
Comptech Rear Sway Bar or New Progressive Rear Sway Bar (highly recommend)


That should get your started anyway.

 

mike, did you install your pulley before or after your S/C? i have a pulley that needs to be installed. i tried using various method with now luck, and am gonna have to take it somewhere. is it worth the install/part price? if not i am gonna ebay it.

 

Yes...its definately worth it. Actually...I installed my pulley (assuming you are talking about the lightweight R crank pulley and not the high boost pulley) both before AND after. I had the UR underdrive pulley on it when it was N/A - but when I went supercharged...I had to change out to the stock sized lightweight supercharger pulley so I didnt lose boost.

I am sure your difficulties are getting the crank bolt out, correct? I had mine done, so I didnt have to wrestle with it....but I do hear they are in there pretty good!

 

NO I MEAN ACTUALLY PAINTING THEM BLACK INSIDE, IV SEEN IT ON A CAR BEFORE K-SHAWN HAS IT ON HIS PAINTED OEM COLOR RED ON HIS IT LOOKS HOT. AND THEY WILL BE CLEARED AS WELL.

 

Thanks For The Help Mike Im Def. Going To Do Some Stuff, Jus What Exactly Does The Ur Underdrive Crank Pulley And Outlaw Thermoblok Spacers Do? And The Comptech Sway Bar ? Sorry Im A Newbie To All The Engine Mods : [

 

Clearing and Blacking them out is all done in the same process sir. If you can clear em....you can black em out. Basically...it consists of baking them in the oven for X mins at x degrees and cracking them open, ect. Many on here have done it sucessfully and can give you tips on how to accomplish it.

Actually...I think LeeDog has cleared/blacked out.

 

Me too:

 

That is all something your search feature will help you out on. Again...I write too many "books" on here as it is, as many will tell you. lol.

Search....the faster you learn to use the feature...the faster a polethora of information will be at your fingertips. This info is already here about five times over. So not to be a total dick....basically...

UR underdrive is going to increase your throttle response a bit and make the car overall more responsive. Only thing to consider here...is are you a HUGE stereo and amp fan. If so....you dont want to go underdrive. Otherwise...no big deal

Thermoblok spacers help keep the top end of your engine cool, which again...helps throttle response and response overall and performace overall (in a big nutshell there)

Comptech Sway Bar or Progressive Sway Bar....is going to GREATLY improve your handling and give it a WAY more sporty ride which will again...be way more responsive.

Hope that helps some. More detailed explanations can be found by searching or check out the 3G Garage for lots of good info!

THANKS ALOT THE LINK WAS VERY FUNNY I KNOW IM A LAZY BUM WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO SEARCHING LOL THANKS MIKE.

 

Question about the UR Pulley. When I look at the Unorthodox website it says for 99-03 TL 3.0/3.2L (Incld. Type S). Is that the same pulley for a 04-07? I would like to order the pulley, but obviously want to make sure I order the right one.

 

Sway Bar definately

 

LOL....I love it...we need to make this as one of Generic Smilies

 

Stabilizer bar? Front and back? From where? How much bigger then stock 07 TL-S ?

 

Progress RSB from EXCELERATE PERFORMANCE -
Was definitely the best bang for buck for me.

I think the OEM on 5AT is ~15mm on 06 tl not sure about 07
Progress RSB is 22mm

How about painting it?...The whole thing...NBP!!

Start now, by summer you will be banging!!!

But nah, you'll probably just paint the calipers, add the CAI, tint it and appear mere mortal...

 

Mike, can I borrow this in the future? I'm tired of telling people to search! LOL! Speaking of which, this guy in the pic needs to search for what to wear with the light on instead of a flashlight! LOL!
