people get bad tattoos removed, i think u can suck up the expense of this plate. it look awful having the Ac emblem twice so close to each other. normal state-issued lic plate looks better even.

Hey Kro, yeah, I actually took the front plate off a LONG time ago...as I'm sure you've seen since you obviously dug through the whole thread.

Also, not all tattoos are removable. Small or thin tats can be removed, but if you have anything thick, or if you've had tats which have been "redone", those are never coming off, no matter how much laser treatment you give it, much less the financial aspect of it, and the physical pain you'd go through.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

My New Shoes...

I wanted to wait until the centercaps came in before I did a shoot with my new shoes, but others shot my car at a meet.

I believe I'm the only TL owner to ever run Weds wheels. So here goes the first and only TL with Weds Sports wheels:

Specs:

Weds Sport SA-70 (bronze)
17x9, +35 all-around
Falken FK452 - 255/40/17, all around







Here's a rolling shot:

My New Navi-Hack Image:

Here's the old one I had with my original 4.55 disc:



Here's my new one which I got after I upgraded my navi to the 4.63 disc:



Big "Ups" to Porkipine (Mike), for figuring this out, as I have no idea about how to do the new version navi hack!

Alright guys, I've been waiting for this pic for a long time...

and now I've got it! (Thanks, Josh)

You've already seen my wheels and lugs. But, this is the complete picture:

I finally have my centercaps, and my RacingBrake 2-piece slotted rotors with ET300 pads, and Techna-Fit SS Brake Lines inside (obviously not visible). Enjoy!

I LOVED the Works, too, but I really wanted to be better suited for track days, so hence the change(s).

Thanks for the compliment!

LOVE the wheels, tires, caps and lugs buddy! I've been trying to find some red lugs for my Type S, but I've run up against a roadblock. There are no red lugs with a ball type seating for OEM wheels. Every red aftermarket lug comes in a tapered seating.

So congrats Scott!
