Defi Boost Gauge, 06 civic Si, 07 S2000, and the TL.
I sweated profusely during the hour or so we spent taking these photos, it was so hot and humid. They're not the best but enjoy! The civic is my friends, S2000 is my brothers new ride since the wrx is immobile.

Optical Illusion: Cross your eyes when viewing and you will see a Dodge Viper.
Imagine a Spoon front bumper, vented cf hood, hard top, wheel gap delete, gold advans,...

nice pictures, the TL is coming along really well 
Have you thought about getting some stuff ported and polished? Also that illusion is pretty cool btw, you should update your sig to with the 07 rear bumper.

Peak boost reads approximately 6lbs according to this gauge. My friend said defi's tend to read a little on the high side.
I have officially deemed the Defi Imperial gauge's a perfect match for the 04-06 TL gauge cluster. Red to the red, blue to the blue, and white to the white. It's a phenomenon.

I can't believe you were out Saturday...I washed the car and hid inside the rest of the day...it was miserable. And as Bearcat said, it's only going to be worse this week 
.
The cars look good. What happened to your brother's WRX? And why is he "acting a fool" in half of the pics? Were you guys drinking
?

...and new ideas keep surfacing for modifying the TL, such as today I woke up and called my brother to ask him if he would assist me with the headlight assembly removal and the baking process. After three years i've just now picked up my balls off the floor to go ahead and attempt the headlight modification.
I'm addicted to modifying this car so i don't see an end in sight.

Headlight modification complete. Deemed a success.
...still decided on what type of bulb to use for the turn signal. If you notice the amber reflector was left in place and had to be cut in order to achieve this look. Pray for no condensation!
This was definitely one of the cheapest modifications i've done so far!

In order to make this happen:
Used the threads in G-046 on the DIY headlight threads. Mainly PPLAW so thanks go to him..couldnt have done it without the info on this board. Also a thanks to my brother who helped my pick up my nut sack and place the actual headlight assembly into the oven. A thanks goes out to the spontaneous posts about modifying my headlights...you guys were right about this setting the car off...i believe it looks really look.
Process:
Bumper removal
Headlight removal
Oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes
Pry open the lense
Same with the other
Spray paint chrome pieces
Cut amber lense
Glue amber reflector back on
Extract excess sealant
Apply new sealant
Insert clear cover back onto headlight assembly
Let dry and wrap rubber bands around to keep it together
Reinstall
