I may be selling them soon, but the previous owner did decide to curb them...all of them I'll be making a FS thread if I decide to get rid of them

After everything is done with mine, and she fixes hers, I'm going to try to get a photoshoot with her. She has new wheels to put on first though.

Wow those wheels look great! I love the tails as well. I know you are on S-Techs and can't go any lower, but if the car was dropped another inch, it would look even better

By the looks of the Navigator in the driveway, does your mom own a tanning bed business?

I agree that the car would look a little better if it was lower, but this is also my daily driver, so I didn't want to go too low. Still kind of hard to talk myself out of getting coils and selling the spring combo

As for the tanning question, yes. We own a tanning salon. One of the perks to owning your own business and being at a pc all day, is being able to stroll through Acurazine, learning the best ways to lose all your money

Just finished up with the blacked out headlights, ZKW-r swap, and switchbacks



Also finished up my wiring for my footwell lighting yesterday



Hopefully having a TL photoshoot this Sunday with the locals, so I hope to get some good pics up.

Very nice ride dude, I am loving the progress. Have you ever thought of removing the body side moldings? IMO they dont flow too well with the lines of the car.

I was taking a right hand turn, and lifted 08 Tundra behind me was reaching down for his cell phone and not paying attention. Now I get the hassle of dealing with insurance companies and having my car stuck in a shop for awhile

Yea, I was furious. Had to take everything in me to keep from getting out and beating his ass in the street. Hopefully, insurance doesn't try to dick me around. Guess I'll be needing ANOTHER set of tails soon, since I had these for about a week. Footwell lighting I got from ebay. Some of those generic looking photos that seems to be on every car you search for They're 12" black strips with about 15 LED's on them.

Seems to be the sweet spot, since your collision looks to be in the exact same spot almost Well maybe I'll get a nice new Acura for a rental car

I agree. This is pretty much my first accident like this too. Lucky me, it had to be in my favorite car so far.



Here's my temporary upgrade Now that I've got the TL, I begin to hate other cars much more intensely. Especially when I continuously compare the two. This car feels like a plastic toy compared to the TL





My car is in the paint shop now, and I should be getting it back Tuesday or Wednesday. Unfortunately, I'll be working 55-70hr weeks, so I'll have to find time for it, but I've got Tein SS's, RV6 front strut bar (may repaint it first), a rear camber kit, and a Progress RSB to install. As of now, I'll be returning to my Axis Penta's, unless they sell before then.

Thanks . As for the wheels, they're actually for sale at the moment I found others that I think I'd like more. If these don't sell before I get the car back though, I'll be throwing these back on, slamming the car on the coilovers, and getting spacers in the future.

Finally got the car back today. Damage was $4,030.74 not including my $310 tail lights. Overall, everything seems ok. Repair work is apparent in some places, but that's to be expected. Only issue I have is getting my car back with my factory radio screwed up. Keeps making a loading sound and won't load/eject disc, nor play the one that is in there.
