Can you give me the model # on the greddy strut bar or did you have to modify the strut bar.

I appreciate everyones comments about the TL.

It is definitely one expensive bowl of rice. ($50,000 bowl of rice)

It's an honor to be given the title 'Ricer King'.

The shocker sticker is pretty awesome....some guys get a kick out of it. haha. My brother ordered them off the internet for $8 i think. I'll see if he can order some more.

As for the strut bar...i think in the parts and performance section there should be a thread about the greddy strut bar. Check out www.greddy.com

The mirrors were a trial and error modification...and i won the battle. I lucked out because the triangle pretty much lined up and was able to use one of the holes to mount the stud.

The person in the car is my girlfriend...i think she was talkin on the phone.

As for what the next mod might be?....hmmm. I don't even know. Maybe a custom fit rear APR diffuser.

...Check out this APR evo. It has similar components that are found on my TL...

yeh the diffuser would be hot..sorry..HOT!!. I dont know why people refer to your car as RICe but I love how you roll with the punches I think your car is far from rice. The way you have modded your car is fine in my eyes because you went all out and not just midway and still IMO did it tasteful.anyways, this is the first time I've noticed the mirrors. I think they should stay to roll with the CF panda theme

shocker sticker rules, but why in the hell did you change the mirrors, I think some things on the car are taking it a lil too far, even for you

Thanks brother.

I've postponed this front bumper mod due to a complication between the manufacturer, distributor, middle man, and me, (the consumer).

...otherwise it would have been on the car since March.

Its not my taste, but its not my car. It looks like you've dropped some serious cash into your ride and, IMO, made it one-of-a-kind. Keep it up!

...thanks for taking those photos. Hopefully your guy will think she's worthy of a feature.

You're the man Jason!

I'll get a mod list over to you sometime.

It came out the wrong way. I think the first option to choose, when wanting to put in the most performance into a car, would be the transmission. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I did not mean to.
