Fatfrii AM TL after clay bar many pics

This will probably my first post that is purely to show everyone my TL. I have been on AZ for a few years now and for some reason never really posted a thread to show off (not that my car is special or something). Well I claybared the car and polished it for the first time and I must say the results of clay bars are amazing. Let me know what you think of the car and without further a due....





That is my brother I swapped with Donkey Kong since my bro is so damn hairy



There is no try







































it seems to me like the pictures look much more unclear after posting on photobucket. they looked way better looking at the file images before. I am using a DSLR on fine quality and medium img setting. Am I doing anything wrong there?

Photobucket tends to downgrade the image quality. Try posting pics using Flickr, the quality is much better.

Are you shooting in Auto? Are you doing any editing to the photos?

Photobucket compresses image size which downgrades quality. Use something like Flickr or http://imgur.com for uncompressed image hosting.

Car looks great. I didn't know that type-s models couldn't do the navi hack.

forget the hack! man when you touch the paint after a claybar you just wanna have sex with your car! its so slick and smooth my hand slipped of the gas cap lid when I opened it up to pump gasoline.

I'm going to soon repost the pics and add some other ones using flickr. There is definitely a big difference

you are better off claybaring it indoor. It is way too hot where i live. I washed it around 9 and then dried it and clay bared it in the garage. Then polished it followed by tire gel. got done at like 1am. I KNOCKED THE &$@# OUT after that. totally worth it

I actually used to have one. when you get used to it you realize it looks better the way it is. If the letters were black and still concaved the way they are it would look great

Thank you. The look I go for is a plain car from a distance but a nice and detailed modded car from up close. Don't want a ride that screams for attention. Definitely reflects my personality

Can not get over how smooth this is. If anyone has not ever clayed the car DO EEET I can not stop sexually groping my car. My imaginary wife is so fucking jelous

For flickr use the HTML code, not BBC. Something changed with either flickr or AZ that doesn't allow them to play well recently.

Beautiful looking TL! Looks to be a twin of my 08 TL type S, but I think you added the A spec and it has a TL exhaust , not the type S, I did not see the Type S quad exhaust like my S has. Anyway, it is a beautiful ASM TL!
