if i had the stock wheels and tires, i was going to keep the ame's for FX's winter wheels.

i was going to sell the 240 and get inexpensive suv but ended up doing the opposite i'll be slowly working on the 240 since it'll be only a daily commuter for now.

Nice progress!

Any idea on the gains the intake gave you? I'm trying to get one for my dad's 05 G35x for his birthday.

Your TL was hot! Someone's gonna get a great car. Where did you get that small roof spoiler? I've been looking for something but ATLP & Sarona are too big for my taste.

just can't withstand the itch... tl was the logest i've owned and tsx being the second by a month or two...
just hoping i keep the fx until it hits 100k since mod itch will be focused on 240sx which i was planning to sell before

btw... they are not the quads. just custom tips

wow they are really trying to milk someone because of your mods. I am sure they gave you nothing close to $30k for it...you should have parted out whatever is easy to remove. You even left your licence plate frame?

i did detailed calculation before the trade-in and i decided not to part out because it wasn't really worth it. plus all the hassle of finding a buyer, endless pm's, packing and shipping, etc...

they are stock exhaust with custom tips.

and for the rims... never thought i'd be trading in the tl so i didn't kept the stock wheels
