with an s2k acquaintance.

Saving up money to bring it to a shop in Houston or maybe even a local shop to get my quarters widened. Then saving up for coilovers and slam it! But on to the pictures.

Yeah, I can believe that. I mean, any one can have any car at any age. It depends on how much money you have or your parents have. Heck, I'm 21, and I have a BMW E92 M3.... (Not trying to brag) just an example, and I am pretty spoiled.

But your TL is looking good. I love all the rolling shots.

Hope to see more pictures in the future

LOL. I just noticed that you have a e92. Nice. The s2k was stock maybe a month or two ago. And now it's this. I must say though, pictures really don't do both cars justice.

But thanks for the comment.

Lol. Yea, after I got tired of it rubbing so much and considered going to the shop, I didn't care anymore. Passenger side actually splitted where it's creased. Btw, how much did you get your quarters widened?

I agree. The rear is poopy!

Not TOO bad lol. Camber kit? Eh, maybe to decrease the camber when I drop it. And more camber and my rims are gonna hit the rear strut like crazy.

Eh, it's just several. Palm trees are rare here lol.

"Poopy" fitment is cured by purchasing a rear wheel that actually fits. Poor tire.

Eh, if you can't fit the wheel, make the car fit it. Poopy fitment is also cured by getting body work done yo. Just like some VIP styled cars here. Poor tire? POOR QUARTER PANEL! Didn't stand a chance...puahaha.

ummm forgot... FYI my body guy cut off part of the metal where it meets and forms like 4 layers, then re-welded it together, he also cut up inside the wheel-well when it compress.

Gawwddddddddd. Talk about crazy fitment. I could never put those on my TL but I must commend you on having the balls to do it.

Awesome pictures but that S2k makes me want to get rid of the TL

Looks good. At first when I was deciding to pull the fenders, I thought it would look awkward. But looking at your car, it came out really well.
And yea, I'm aware about the whole quarter cutting and welding.

I've been rolling around without front plates for a while. But I guess Texas is stepping it up because lately I've been getting pulled over for it by state troopers. So far, no tickets, just warnings *knocks on wood*
