Thanks guys.
After i looked at it from some more angles i take back my too low statment .

The fujita intake is really nice. At low rpm's its silent, but once you get above 4000rpm it really opens up with a throaty rumble. The girlfriend said she could hear it inside her car as i drove by after i picked up mine from the shop today.

Great looking car!!!! There's no whistling with the Fujita as there is with the AEM, right?

Was it more difficult to remove your front bumper with the A-Spec? Cause in the video the guy doesn't have the A-spec kit

The Fujita has a slight whistle at around 2300rpm...but once it warms up it goes away.

To take off the bumper with the ASPEC kit all you have to do is remove the screws inside the wheel well holding it on, remove the braket and screw at the lower section of the wheel well.

Be careful with the drop and the cai, I have the fujita also and my installer said that tl's suck up water. And if that happens then It may be by by T L That's why I never lowered my car. So dodge those puddles man.

I would never intentially hit puddles to begin with but i know what you are saying. Especially since i removed the plastic air duct that fed air to the stock intake behind the left front valence. So basically you can kneel down infront of my car and see the intake filter itself. Its in the works of a custom "box" that shields the filter from the front to block direct hits from water entering through the grill.

Hey sT04Louis, so you said you enter if I enter the car show? ACCURATTein's thread is motivating me toward entering the car show. Another thing that hold me back is I have a family member having some major surgery around the same time, so I need to keep my schedule open.... but depending on what date it falls on, I'll try to enter... I'll let you know...

It would be pretty cool to see two TL's among the typical entrants.

It would be awesome if we both went to P.I.R.
I posted some more info about it in the Oregon members thread. Did you ever get my PM with my phone number?

Any of the "wideangle" shots were done by my brother with my Sony Cyber-Shot Touch Screen 8.1 megapixel set for 16:9HDTV shots.
The camera i used was my dads Sony..not sure which model, but with his having better lenses it picked up more light and better pics. (7mp)

You need to change out your license plate white to something brighter & whiter. I think that's the missing link to a perfect ride!

Im gonna end up deleting the whole grill with a mesh behind it. Just gotta get the tools together, and set up a time to have it painted.
