Finally a WDP with an RJ Kit. ... and better yet.. from Houston! My 20" 3 pc wheels will be in next month or so depending on when they finish building it. We need to meet up and have a laugh or two once I get those wheels in. I really want to see that RJ kit in person. What part of Houston do you live in? I live in the NW side. Madhetsoni is another cool person on here from Houston who I have met and his car is sick! Looks like Houston is popular with fixed up WDP's.

Oh, that side picture looks aggressive!!

I will let you know soon. Im also getting Tein SS, tint, & Comptech Sway Bar installed all at once with the wheels. I want it to feel like a new car with all the new mods. I didnt get RJ's, but some other brand with a nice good lip to it (that was most the important to me).

Its going to be:
20x8.5 35mm Front
20x9.5 35mm Rear

3 pc. forged wheels with silver inside and polished lip. I also just got the healights cleared thanks to madhetsoni. It looks really good. It would of been so much harder to do when I get those big wheels and a drop since thats how you get to the lights.

By the way, i live in the Cypress area.

All I can do now is wait. Take care!

No i sure dont. I was thinking about getting the CAI, but have been having doubts. My first doubt was IF I ever buy a supercharger, then I would have to replace it. 2nd doubt was the constant rain and flooding in Houston. I just had a friend with a G35 who had the same intake and it sits low to the ground.. well last time it rained in Houston, it flooded a little in some areas. His car sucked up that water and hydrolocked. If I was to ever do it, I would just get the shorter intake. After seeing the bumper apart and lookng at the existing intake setup, I was pleased with the way the stock was designed out to blow air into the engine from the front gills. I didnt want to mess with it anymore. No pullies either.. I dont know much about them to make a decision.

I have the same center caps, you might want to look into getting them chromed so they dont contrast as much with the vehicle.

Also look into doing a smoke taillight, side markers and headlight job. Check out my signature to see what I mean with the headlights, I think they would make your car

Great looking ride man. Maybe you said it somewhere, but what kind of drop does it have?

I'm from Houston as well, it is nice to see other modified TL's. I actually have yet to see another modded TL in person, haha. We should definately arrange a meet because it seems there is a strong showing of Houstonians here.
