Wow you have one of the CLEANEST TL's hands down. Engine bay is perfect! Props on the CF around the steering column, don't know how visible it would be though. Not feeling the gauge placement or red interior lights but I LOVE everything else. Good job, mad props.

Wow! Jamie, I don't need to rub the balls like we all already have....lol. Dude, does one of your future mods have anything to do with a custom grill? Get that coverage on the insurance today! I almost lost my car today and said to myself, I need the extra coverage. Get it! Looking sick man!

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/real-custom-iphone-dock-3gs-lots-pics-749864/ here's a thread on the custom dock. i got all the parts i needed from a local hardware store. try and make one its really easy

Nice Job, keep up the good work!!

thanks, polished TB is another mod i believe only I have. no one else is that crazy the CF is not a sticker its a real sheet of CF laminate.

thanks man, the red lighting in the pic looks super bright. its not like that at all. alot more subtle than that. i like it cuz it matches the rest of the red lighting.

as for the gauges i could have easily put them in a custom a-pillar, but i like to keep my car looking more OEM. didnt want these things all up in my face. the placement is nice cuz i could just close the glove box and looks stock still. the CF column cover was just another crazy mod only i have. its not for me to be staring at all the time, just a small detail in my interior just to show off.

They are just plain ol cold cathode lights, you can get them on-line anywhere for like $5-7 bucks each. You could wire them to the light in the center console light. So they come on with your headlights. Only 07-08 have the prewired ambient lights under the console.

lol.... Yes

You're basically tapping(sharing) power with the console light. The two wires that power the light is negative and postive. The positive will send power to your light mod and the negative just helps balance the electrical load.

Don't worry about being a noob. We've all been there. After a few mods, you'll get the hang of it.

Hey also, in your "light crazy on my 07 WDP TL-S" thread it said that it's in a TL-S. Is it still possible to do the footwell lightings the same exact way in the base model? And where did you get the clear side markers?

Wow, that is incredibly clean and tastefully done all around. That looks like some serious custom work and the amount of time it took to do. I love those wheels, nothing too crazy but that's what I like, a nice 5 spoke and the 3piece sets it off. I tip my hat to you sir. Also, do you have dirt where you live? That engine bay is spotless!
