Thanks 
Haha, I saw your car the other day...if I don't find a corner spot I usually park in that big ass parking lot like 2 miles away from campus
I was going to sell them at one point and get these 20" HRE's but decided not to 
We'll see what happens in time!
....and I kind of want these pics in my progress thread soooo here are some repeats

Its coming along...hahaFinally cleaned up the interior and realized why black on black is the only way to go
Interior mods are next...
1) Razo executive shiftknob (silver/leather)
2) Aluminum pedals
3) White LED lighting
4) A-spec steering wheel
I really want a CF/alum e-brake handle with a leather boot but I dont think there are any that fit?

lower grill fog lights for a 04 TL
Good afternoon; Can anyone tell me where I can find the a complete lower grill fog light insert for a 2004 tl. I see some but can never catch up to anyone to find out where they got them from. The 3g area tells me nothing. Please help.

lets do one next weekend. Im getting my sides and fog lights on, on saturday. hopefully i wont stay at the shop too long since im going in at 8 in the morning. 
oh and btw, that AM tl in the 355 freestate, i met up with him today since he knew my other friend. maybe i could ask him if he wants to join us for a shoot. 2AM and 1NBP would be nice color combo

Big fan of your car, lookin good. I just switched to stockies and I agree the car rides 1000X better!!
Your front lip looks like it must get bashed once in awhile at that height. Before my Teins the front A-Spec didn't have a single scratch on it......Now I hit it about 4-5 times in the last 3 months!! The whole underside is screwed and scraped up good....I don't even care that much anymore. I know it's going to keep happening no matter how careful I am. Scrapes are OK. I just don't want to smack something hard and crack, bend or break anything! So I crawl while I scrape through, lol! And my car is not even that low, I wanna go lower! It's the price of drivin low!

Yup, it sucks. My front lip/air-dam looks like it got into a fight with a cheese grater....and lost. I'm still super careful on shitty roads, but there are some things you have no control over =/ Oh well, winter mods are always fun. Going to try to take out the interior all at once ( sound system, charcol suede roof-lining, a-spec steering wheel, razo executive shiftknob, white LED lights, and aluminum pedals) Then get the ATLP J-pipe & test pipe
You just can't say no to those torque gains, something the TL really needs down low!

Hm, so I wonder how much clearance I would need to squeeze a BBK up front. Right now I barely have a finger gap between the back of the spoke and the face of the caliper. The thing with a BBK is its 13", so the caliper might be positioned where the spoke starts to arch rather than closer to the hub with the stock brake setup.
And Rotora is wack for charging a redic amount to paint the calipers a different color. Might as well just get Stoptech for that kind of $$ right?

I'm putting on my Race pipe sometime this week, if you want to hear J-Pipe / Race-Pipe / Comptech Catback .. I'll post up a clip for you.

It made the sound a little deeper, but the most noticable change was definitely the drone. I would say realistically, cut it down about 40 - 50%.

It's like a custom j-pipe, or so the seller said. (Very similar to ATLP / RichieV6 obviously).
I'm sure any aftermarket j-pipe will make a difference.
