Yeah man, just small subtle details only seen when paying close attention to. I think it's going to look awesome. Especially, since it will blend it stealth like on the front bumper but noticeable when close and paying attention only.

The pedals look great! Looking forward to seeing the bumper insert. Also, you'll love the type-s shift knob. I love mine! Nice, subtle addition.

QUESTION:

What is the Dynomax mid-muffler/resonator PART # to use for Stg3 exhaust for the 3G TL's?

Awesome! I just posted in his thread. That's what's up!!!

I just purchased a kodak zx5... I love this little recorder. I initially bought it for the baby and special moments to record but no need for the baby to get all the fun. And as soon as I install the resonator I myself will be adding a video clip.

I just lost my zx5 two weeks ago on my gf's parents boat. I'm hoping it turns up when I'm out there this weekend. I was testing out a better memory card I just bought bc I wasn't impressed with the video quality out of it. I may end up buying a gopro if it doesn't turn up.

GoPro is a lil more on the Hi-end for my use, but still a awesome device. As for the KODAK, I am loving it so far and BEST BANG for the $$$. Water PROOF! up to 10ft, shock proof, dust resistant, Good shots, Good vid quality...etc. Thing is GREAT! Just can't beat it for $73.00 BRAND NEW that I paid vs all other devices out there. Def recommend to anyone who is in the market for a mini rec. with these benefits but doesn't want to pay the hi-end prices others are going for $150-300 and some don't have the features that the ZX5 does.

I have Googled and searched over and over... I have 2 issues, both being with the windsield wiper nozzles/squirters.

1.) Driver side squirts to high. Practically over the windsield.

2.) Passenger side doesn't work at all.

I have found in my search that to adj the height you just use something small and thin, like a pin on guide up or down to adj. Someone has even mentioned a small slit in the nozzle and has used a small thin screwdriver. If so, this is definitely easy enough. As for the squirting. I have found randomly someone using can air to blow out the nozzle. And someone else using a needle/pin or some thin object just poking through whatever debris (most likely wax) from the channel.

In these searches I have found them to be random maintenance to cars in general or 2nd gen. TL's, nothing on 3G... You 3G TL guys have any difference method or answers?

Thanks

No sir, that's how I cleaned and aimed mine...with a pick and a small screw driver...you sure one of your hoses didn't come undone and that's why you got nothing from the passenger side?

If you remove the passenger side crowl as if doing the UCM, you will gain access to the hoses

Yeah...understood. My reply was toward whoever designed HIDDEN hoses like that vs the ol skool way of them being clipped under side of the hood exposed...so much easier. lol

Ok fellas...Looks like the audio is about to start soon...I have it all in the trunk ready to take it to TCTOYZ tomorrow to at least start the wiring.

Also, I am torn with selling my wheels. My wife, Gabe at TCTOYZ and his wife is saying HELL NO!!! They absolutely LOVE the way it looks and flows so perfect with the TL. Maybe its me just wanting something new and something stagg fitting. But will that just place me with "THE REST" of the TL's here on AZ? With that being said, U guys all know I am one to get ideas here but always seem to try to put a twist on things and separate myself, as much as possible from others.

So what u guys think? And not for nothing... the pics really do no justice. If you even like the current set up, step up the LIKE another 3-4 notches and that is how it really looks in person...lol ~ give or take Any feedback is welcomed, good or bad.

I can vouch with it looking even better in person then the pics protray. With that being said unless you come back with some wheels that compliment the car even more then your current set up is going to be hard to replace!

This is exactly my fear... I have even shown pics of Italiano's wheels to the wife and to Gabe and both said the same thing... "Eh, Those are sweet/nice looking wheels but I like your better." Their comments basically go into detail about the overall togetherness and flow of the design fits to well to change or risk the change for something less effective to the eye. ~ Which it is a good point and what u are touching on also Mondo.

Until something actually happens in a sale $$$ I will be moving on forward with other duties at hand

AS FOR WHEEL DESIGNS: Of course the ones I can't afford are WORK VS-XX, MEISTER's & Schwert SC2's and the ones that are more affordable I been looking at are Pentas, LM reps, Italiano's wheels on AZ BM and some random others wheels such as TSW's & EXE's (tenfolds on AZ BM also) just as example. There is just so many out there! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Just installed the DYNOMAX RES. yesterday after work and I am loving the mod set up. And DAYM! Under throttle it roars! What a great sound now.

So, in total ~ Mid Muffler removed, OEM Res. removed & DYNOMAX Res. installed topped off with shiney PORSCHE inspired tips. The sound is amazing! Keeping the elegant classey sound with a bit of performance.

Next simple mod ~ To remove those HORRIBLE TINTED rear side markers and replace em with the OEM TL-S smoked side markers...sale pending, and coming soon!

Have you thought about the new USR blinking sidemarkers!?!? Cost is close to the same as OEM (a little cheaper) for all 4.

You have a linky for the USR's?

Wish u would have told me this earlier before I made the payment to WilzRSX for his tls rears...lol ~ I may have reconsidered.

The guy I bought his TLS rear side markers from, that is exactly what he opt to therefore selling his TLS rears to me. So everyone wins
