Jim unfortunately i don't have any LEGO pieces installed on the TL haha. I'm sure in the future I will come up with something that is cool and looks neat, and could possibly serve as a function.
I'm planning on going. You driving yours that day?
Thank you Sir!

The rice comment may have been a little strong. But your car just isn't my style at all. For along time you had an intercooler w/o a turbo or supercharger. Yellow 'tint' over your headlights reminds me of the kids that would show up at my school w/ flattened cardboard boxes and have dance offs (It just looks cheap). I do like some of the things you've done to your car and orginality is a great thing but...my preference is more towards OEM+.
Thats what i say to ppl everytime ppl look at my car. Its hard to tell that there is like 15k+ into the car in aftermarket ..

.. The car is sick tho cause there isnt another one that looks like it ! No offense at all, I already knew i wasnt gonna like the yellow film in the daylight pics tho . Def reminds me of something from a long time ago.. To each his own tho =) . I do anything I can to be different from the rest, so touche' to that and ur TL 
. You will definately get messed with for that tho soomewhere along the line. I have the "type r look" yellow hids in my 2004 model headlamp fogs and its fine, but when the headlights themselves emit yellow , Ive always gotten harrassed for it.Oh and hi - i havent posted in like a year or more lol .

I hope this makes you proud....
"Do you think Eric (the spaceship TL or any EPIC car) comes on here and complains about something, or ask "what should I do to my car?"
the answer is NO.
they simply have a vision for what they want to do. and then they make it happen."

Yo Muscle Milk! You need to put a picture up of the TL that you keep taking parts off of. I love the blue hid lights the TL has stock so this is the first mod you have done that I'm not a fan of. I'm sure its great on those foggy days that we seem to never have. You better be at Cars and Coffee next month! Come over for some chicken!

Faiz you can haz?!
Sweet. I haven't seen it on the road in a while. There was a time where i saw it quite frequently.
They've got fail written all over their jerseys. Maybe they will end up winning games in the second half of the season, which in my opinion is better than winning all the of first half of the season and then failing in the second half.
Welcome back from a long hiatus. Do you still have your TL?
It usually takes a few moments before people notice. Lots of other distractions to look at.
Thanks man. Use 'they're' next time.
meh!
That was pulled from another thread somewhere i reckon. I believe that statement is correct. There have been a few times where i have asked someone what they would think if i did a certain mod, and it really didn't matter what their response was because i was already going to do it. haha
ay guy! why dont you get teh fock outta heah huh?! you want a lexus, go be with the lexus guys. allright?! and don't forgetcha muscle milk too!

So the main inspiration with these yellow overlays was looking at some of the ALMS cars at Petit LeMans... These cars just do it for me. When they come down the straight with the yellow headlights, it makes meh caahrazy...

I do. I actually just bought its 4th set of wheels. I got some blue Advan Super Racing V2's w Toyo R888 tires. No idea what its gonna look like and i dont care lol , but i know its gonna be crazy different. Ive loved those wheels since the first version. Soon as i get it back from Acura ima slap em on. TPS sensor went bad then 2 weeks later my APP sensor went bad. Been pushin a 2011 AWD TL to its limits for the past couple+ weeks ha .. Id put wheels on it for pics but all my wheels are staggered ha..
I remember you being into LeMans so i knew exactly where the idea sparked from ha .. I guess it looks ok , its just so drastic on your car.. Id like to try some of that light sky blue color they have ha .

So finally someone wanted to play today on the way to work. This guy in a black 350z on some volks wanted to find out what a semi gutted TL with a front mount does in 3rd and 4th gear on the interstate. Welp, I let him find out. haha.

I know you have a Spoon steering wheel for the car. I have a red quick release to match your interior. All you need is a hub adapter so we can get that shit installed. Now come on pick your head up and lets get moving son.

Nice filmography.
I think you should have edited the sound of your TLs roar over the song though...
Then add some supercharging wine somewhere in the middle [with the music in fade-back].
And nice choice of song.
Empire of The Sun - Walking On A Dream
Your next one should feature MGMT - Children

I already took your advice and pulled that song into the studio template. Good songs!
