[QUOTE=MugenR]Hey Fitz! nice man! real clean... all we gotta do is finally get those brakes! SHOULD BE DONE SOON!
Is it just the 3 of us who stepped up to get the wilwood's? Either way, wilwood must be doing some mad marketing push, cause I'm starting to see their products everywhere....print ads, etc. I decided just to get them black with the wilwood logo showing, what about you 2?

I got mine painted SSM and a decal shop is printing the 'A-Spec' logo for me in black.. something small like the AMG logo. I told Ben not to put the willwood logo on there.

What's up Fitz! I have risen from the dead!
I must say your TL has been coming together.
The headlights are neat, i wonder what they look like at night.

Exhaust Pictures
Loving the exhaust, it just as loud as I want it, when I want to hear it, I can go into SS and keep it at 2.5-3k RPM range and just hear the growl, or when I don't I just cruise above 4-5k. The drone isnt loud at all, and it sounds extremelly deep. Look to my earlier posts for exact descriptions of the parts used.
ALSO! Expect the brakes by the end of next week!!

Nice looks really good. Just one question, switching to the stock tips. defeat the purpose of the exhaust? Since the opening is small? Either way it looks great. I want to do the same thing, but I can't find a good shop to get it done.
By the way where in Oregon is this?

i also think that non stock tips look bad b/c the body kit has a square slot

I pushed them out another inch, any further and they wouldnt look flush with the bumper, and it just looked bad. With the stock A-spec underbody bumper, the exhaust kind of hides behind it, and I just had them push it out a little bit to make it look flush with the bumper. You can see teh polished steel when looking dead on, and thats all I wanted. If I busted out some chrome cleaner, it would look alot better.

What ever happened to the brake kit? Sorry if this was already answered, but I'm too lazy to sift through your 9 page thread.

Sun Hyperground Grounding and Voltage Kit Review and Pics
I've had the Sun automotive hyperground grounding and voltage kit installed for over a month, and I'm very happy with it. Electrically the car works better, ignition issues are fixed, and the headlights are slightly brighter, not really noticeable. As far as power, low end torque slightly, not really noticeable. Intake and exhaust help alot better than a grounding kit do if you are looking for power. Overall this makes my electrical system run cleaner, my ignition is alot better, I feel a little bit more power, and it looks great. In conjunction with my intake, exhaust and UR pulley, this mod is a very valuable addition. Here are some pictures...

It adds to the asthetic factor even if it doesn't do anything. Could you be so kind as to tell me what the grounding points are? Thanks

Evo 8 with what the guy says is $18k worth of modifications, really has about $12k. I find out next week weather or not he accepts the offer. With the deal I will still pocket around $2-3k after I sell the TL. Which will probably go towards savings..
