FiveLiterCheater

As far as I know, I think i'm running a 2.5" drop...because we lowered it more out of the box. Looked to be about half an inch more....so its deff 2"+ for those who are wondering.

FiveLiterCheater

x3... JUS DO IT. GO FOR IT BRAH !

FiveLiterCheater

Yeah...I guess...Is the 07 just a bolt on? No mods needed? If I do do it...I want the 07 base...can't stand the Type-S lip spoiler! Looks like a friggin' mask.


The only thing is I didn't file a police report....do you think my insurance company will care? We pay them enough money, they shouldn't even ask questions! LOL

FiveLiterCheater

Alright guys...gotta decide what I wanna do with this bumper issue...so I need some opinions!!!

Type-S bumper w/ no lip (can't stand the Type-S mask)

2007 Base bumper w/ lip

2004-2006 Bumper w/ lip

I have a check for $530 ($250 deductable...it was originally like $780)

What should i do? I know the Type-S bumper cover is around $230...fog lights are probably gonna run like $150 a piece...then the plastic pieces...

Orrr....get the Base 07 bumper w/ the front lip and hold off on the fogs till I have the cash...

OR just go back to the way it used to be...lol

FiveLiterCheater

Yessss got my car back Notice anything different?

dr mikeylu

FiveLiterCheater

Mmm...costed me $10 lol to tip the guy at our bodyshop to do it lol color matched too

Yo looks real good man! Was the bumper and stuff already off and stuff or did they have to take it all off and do it temselves(paint the grill). The TL looks better than ever though and you know ive been a big fan of your car haha

FiveLiterCheater

The bumper was already off because it was getting replaced = )

Got bored and took some more pics lol

Looks real good man..love the last picture. I might have to get this done(grill)

desper

Grille looks great....

Met a guy who did the same thing with this NBP,,, but the plastic part on the bottom of the hood got scratched all to hell from road chips.. It is real hard to keep up evidently..


Good luck though,, looks great much better than stock,

Too bad that wold look retarded on my Desert Mist only looks good on NBP

i would personally do the base 07 bumper with the lip....i want to take off my TL-S bumper and put on a base with a lip...but i dont got the cake to buy the bumper/lip and then get it painted to KBP...cause the base TL isn't offered in that color...so the lip would have to be painted also....but the base bumper w/ the front lip definately looks wayyyyy better

FiveLiterCheater

^^ I thought so too, but then I saw it in person and the fogs just look out of place (IMO)

fant0m_TL

i have the sony cybershot... 7.2 3x zoom.... its pretty nice... only 200 bucks... so how much did the paint cost for the grille? i know you said it was 10 bucks for the tip... but how much was the paint itself

fant0m_TL

whoops... sorry ^^ got cut off... how much was the paint, and how much did you need? i really wanna do this mod, but im not sure where to get the paint... im sure my dealer could get me some...

FiveLiterCheater

I have no idea how much it costed them, sorry.

FiveLiterCheater

JJaber..haha sure I'll buy those, how about 600? Haha can't afford them now but I would be more than happy to take those off your hands. Actually I have a question, I saw these rims that were 18x7.5 Would these be too thin and wierd looking? I saw 19x7.5, didnt even know they made those?

nigellllll

nice photo

FiveLiterCheater

Wayyyy too thin....you want atleast 8.5

...or 9 like me

ballinfizzle89

iTrader: (6)

Would it just look wierd or ride sloppy? Saw these 18x7.5 for 600 WITH tires
