^all those mods you mentioned sounds very appealing. DO IT ALL! especially on the performance side, aftermarket j-pipe and test pipe is a must have combo

I think the visors look good on dark colored cars or with dark tint. It hasn't grown on me considering I have WDP.

How about a roof spoiler?

So you're gonna have all these mods by summer?

BTW your thread seems screwed up. There's no page 9 yet but it shows up. NBP curse?

FiveLiterCheater

Thats what I was thinking...I want to keep the deep toned sound

Now to raise the funds...

Yeah, I hate myself for not doing the j-pipe combo earlier..

I was going to say they look better on lighter cars Not a big fan of roof spoilers since I already have the deck lid on the trunk...having both might turn out a little odd....add both of those with the visors if I decide to get it and its just way to overdone/tacky for my tastes. We'll see...

I agree two lip spoilers are an overkill. It's one or the other. We got almost same taste

Correction, intake was K&N Typhoon not AEM.

I need to dyno again, just threw on a jpipe, resonated cat, and UR pulley

FiveLiterCheater

Haha my bad, i knew it was some intake. Thats the exact combo I want to do....did you notice a pretty nice increase in performance?

FiveLiterCheater

Extremely small update...they just look really cool and i couldn't help it! Had to snap some pics, but none of the pics really show off the true finish...better pics when they're mounted



However...

ATLP J-pipe ordered and fenders are rolled, just in time for spring Couple other goodies on their way as well....

FiveLiterCheater

Keep forgetting about this thread Here are some updates...

*ATLP J-pipe & Richie-V6 test pipe installed. Power gains are Even with my heavy 19's, this thing has no hesitation to pull from any part of the powerband. Win! I have pictures BUT i can't find the transfer cable for my sony P&S camera Fail.

The lugs..





Removed the Ichibia 20mm spacers because I couldn't deal with the rubbing...not sure how some of you run these setups

Seemed to be the problem area, I ordered a 15mm version...if those don't fit i'm done for good haha


Spring 2009 detail (Clay, polish, wax)...followed by two weeks of rain (NBP=WIN...no arguing...so don't try )






Got pearl?

I just got half of my tax refund...kind of itching to buy something else <.<

S14 n Tsx

looking good!

what kind of lug nuts are those?

FiveLiterCheater

S14, they are Project Kics Caliber 24

Almost forgot, my favorite mod (especially with all this f'in RAIN) Rain-X wipers...these things are SO legit...I can't even hear them at full swing, and they leave NOTHING behind.

CJ0920

Looking good bro! I was actually looking into getting those wipers lol. Sucks though my cars still in the damn shop GEESH! When its out we need to do another meet again and take some pics

bigBLACKTL

looks good as usual! How about getting type-s sidemarkers?

love the project kics man! I was eyeing these and they look real good.

u gotta stretch the rears if u want to fit the 20mm.

FiveLiterCheater

Hah yeah man, wrong place wrong time FTMFL! That story you told me is just crazy...

Thinking about it....I might end up copying Mike's old setup haha

Thanks bro

I'm undecided on both still...=/ I kind of like the redout but I want something new...we'll see

Yeah they're pretty dope....wish they were smaller but what can ya do

I already sold the 20mm...i have a 15mm waiting for me in the car right now, about to go test them out. If they dont fit, you interested?

FiveLiterCheater

Random pictures from crappy P&S...

Richie-V6 Test pipe



ATLP J-pipe

how's it sound?

FiveLiterCheater

thanks brahh
Deff FTW! She pulls hard now

Sounds sharper...thats the only way I can describe it, i'll try to get a sound clip up but recording from a P&S camera never gets the full effect

I installed the 15mm Ichiba spacers, i'll get pics of that when I get the Nikon back....it rubs though, even with rolled fenders. I didn't think +29 on a 9" wheel with 245 tires would rub but I guess it does I guess this means I can't get another set for the front...

FiveLiterCheater

Well, I got bored and installed my chrome grille today....looks pretty good. I left the bottom section of the grille NBP (from my old grille). I'm unsure if i'm going to keep it on though...here are some pics from a horrible P&S...






...random..


Somebody also decided to nail my rear bumper and leave last night at the bars. Actually I didn't even notice it until the morning...my dad asked what I hit and I bolted out of bed to go look. No paint damage, but the bumper is pushed in/dented. Looks like the rear lip just got scuffed, but i'll probably do a type-s conversion now and get some quads. Anyone have a stock Type-S exhaust they wanna donate?!

I think the chrome grill looks pretty good. Are they afermarket grill pieces? How's the fitment for them?

ssmtl2nv

iTrader: (2)

good job, grill looks fresh and sorry to hear about the rubbing issues.

TWiSDiT

iTrader: (4)

john where u get the chrome grill from? im thinking of doing it too!

FiveLiterCheater

Got them off eBay from the seller Partstown, they are OEM pieces chrome plated so the fitment is...well...as good as the factory

Yeah it sucks...I took off the spacers so its good to go now.

Fleebay! I'll let you know if I decide to keep it or not, I might go back to the NBP one.

ssmtl2nv

iTrader: (2)

ebay... I believe

FiveLiterCheater

Gotta couple PM's asking for better lit pictures of the grille....so here I think i'm still gonna go with the OEM and leave the bottom section NBP.





and another random pic


next mod: Type-S rear bumper + type-s rear lip + quad exhaust...leaning towards the XLR8

Your car is sick. Those wheels flow so perfectly with the car.

grenas17

I really like your TL. It is very tastefully modded. Nice and simple.

I also like the chrome grill, it contrasts nicely with the silver wheels.
