That car looks so good.

There's only 2 things I'm not a fan of: the red rear side markers, and the stickers.

Should have kept all those stickers on your MS3. TL doesn't need stickers.

nice job OP but im just wondering with all the money u spent on the mods y didn't you get better tires instead of buying the Sunny tires? cause they suck

arn809

Dpat

nice progress bro....

fan of couple things and not a fan of couple but till you like it, ITS ALL GOOD !!!

D68Soldier

Nice looking ride! You have been pretty busy with your mods. I like most of your mods but not a fan of the stickers in the back window.

Joberube

I know Sunny tire suck ! I want to know if my setup will be too much camber ( I don't want camber kit ). If this is acceptable and I can do more than a half of a summer with a set, I will upgrade for good tire !!

For those who don't like the stickers ... this is on my plan of take them off .... !

Thank you for the comment !

Beautiful car!

Why did you paint the Aspec kit? Then again it looks WDP in the pics but who knows. I guess you must have gotten a good deal on it if it was the wrong color?

I'm loving the engine bay...minus the purple though! And the SRI is a big nono for the TL!

Joberube

I paint The front lip only .. The ASM was discontinued ... Need to take the WDP one and make it paint ( my brother is a body man )

The purple is off the car, they have all been replaced by black one !

A little update soon !

Thanks for the good comments !

Bankz

Joberube
