Your TL looks great sir. Only things I'd suggest is aspec kit and maybe caliper paint for the brakes. Oh and a black roof would look great on AM! I'm planning on doing a vinyl roof overlay on my SSM this spring.

Well after getting a JL W0 and a JL W3, and not finding that right sounds for my sub. So I ended up getting a JBL GT4-12". It sounds really good. Now it is time to save up for A-Spec...

Looks real good d-town. I love having AM bruthas all over the place. It was a very popular color, but very few of us have modded them to where they need to be (Type-S tails & sides really set that color off!). Keep up the good work!

i like your car a lot and everything you've done looks great. you need to find someone who knows how to tint our quarter windows properly though. it drives me crazy to see windows done like yours. sweet ride tho. but get that fixed.

Thanks guys. Regarding the tint, I have been to two different shops to get that fixed and they still haven't been able to make it look good. So at least the problem has been addressed...

Looking good man! I hope you have the A-Spec kit planned for it 
And even though I was running 300w less than you are currently, I never used a capacitor.

I asked the guys at Earmark (a local car audio shop) and Car Toys, and they both said I don't need a capacitor...
And yes, I do have A-Spec planned for it. I am half way there money wise...

Ya. We broke the record of 5" to 7.5" I took this two day after it all fell too. Unbelievable right? This winter has been weird, we usually are lucky to see half an inch. This was the 3rd time of having snow. Once in early December, and one more time on xmas eve. It was nice to have a white xmas in the Dallas area!

Unbelievable indeed, my friend. Hey, when it snows in Texas, you know that cats and dogs must be living together. What's the world coming to????

No, I installed them myself. Took a good while, but I got it done. I got the rims from Discount Tire, know the manager of one on the Plano-Frisco border and he gave me a good deal. You planning on getting some new ones? Oh and I need to see you at more of our meets, so I can get to know you...

Either you can get Saturday's off, or we need to plan another dinner meet. It would be nice to meet another young guy, everyone else in out North Texas club is way older than me, not that I mind it...

What kind of radar detector? I recently was pulled over for 44 in a 30 but was let off with a verbal warning...thank god. I'm looking into a detector also but I'm still trying to decide on the brand and wired vs wireless. If it's wired, I'd end up hard wiring it as I don't want to have a cord dangling all the time. My dad has an Escort Passport 8500 X50 in his Vette and its not hard wired...can't stand it.

I went with the Escort Passport 8500 X50 Red Display...most reviews said it competed with the Valentine One. The main thing is doesn't have is the arrows, showing what direction...thats it. Same POP detection, if not better on the Passport, according to some reviews.

Well, I did see this thread that runs it through the dash, but I prolly won't hard wire it. IDC about the wires hanging down...maybe i do, idk what to do. I'll prolly wait til I get the device, and figure out a way...

Bro, I got to say those huge ass mufflers are working against you. Also you can never achieve baller status with a front tag like that. Since your 16 I can see where you don't really understand how the whole modification scene works. I'm not trying to hate on you either, I'm trying to help you man, IMO, you almost need to start from scratch. Starting off with the tint first bro. That tint job belongs on a 89 Honda Civic hatch back.
Also Bro, Sony makes computers and cameras. Just because they are good at making those doesn't mean that every thing they touch is amazing. You should really look into the products you are looking to buy before you buy them. Thats a good way to both save money, and not end up with crappy equipment.
I'm not trying to hate on you Bro, for real. Constructive criticism Bro.
