Purrrrrrrrrrla?

keep the car, change the name lol

 

PUURRLA? umm yes i really suggest a better name. Don't disappoint the car.

i hope to see u on the roads.

 

lol funny part is i didnt even name it that, i just threw it in as a joke LMAO! ...... what about Eve?

 

eve, i think of the singer.
unless u meant it like the EVE from ADAM & EVE. Tempting.. very tempting.

my car is name Night Rider after that car in that old show =]

Eve, doesn't sound appealing. keep trying but i like ur car if i fail to mention it.

 

Purrrrrrla is kind of a funky name. Matches the fresh look you'll have soon with those Sevas!

 

Where did you get those front grills? Looks nice.

 

got it from lowes for like 15 bucks... go to the outdoor section- ask for gutter guard. they come in strips and just cut them to size

looks like i have a couple more goodies to show off

Dynomax Muffler & essential hardware with any aftermarket wheels in L.A



the wheels with wrapped in falken fk452's 245/30 (F) 255/30 (B)



Sound System (when i get around to it )



and last... the one that started it all my old 1st gen TL

 

^^That is your car! I love that interior. Good luck with the 3rd gen.

 

Nice choice in wheels!!! Can't wait to see some pics with the wheels on!!

gutter guard eh? i think i'll check it out tmr...but how exactly did you get the other trims off? you didn't have to take the bumper off did you?! and how's it staying in place? thanks^^

 

[QUOTE=erick3]

you dont have to remove the bumber at all, you just need some skinny arms... lol there are several tabs that keep the grille in place if you get under the car you can easily see which ones i think there are a total of 7 or 8.... you just have to unhook them.. but the last one up top closest to the tire on both sides is an absolute pain in the arse to take out! once you do that you can dremel off the pieces of the grille that you wont need and leave the center as is. this will severely weaken it but its not holding anything in place so it wont matter. i then sanded it and repainted it black so it looked glossy, i then cut the mesh to size, the trick is to leave it slightly bigger then the opening it self that way you can kinda force it in and it will stay upright. ive heard of others using adhesives likes epoxy to make it stick but i just took a shortcut cuz it already taken me like 3 hrs to do and i was fed up! well worth the effort though it gives the front a completely different look. hope this helps, there are some handy Do it yourself just do a search and it will show you step by step with pics how other members have done it.

 

ooh wow perfect! thanks your info...really appreciate it!!!

 

lovin the wheels cant wait to see em on the car, i just threw on some 20" staggard Sevas myself. picked em up from a fellow AZiner. Not too sure wut his display name was but hes sellin his black 06 TL 6speed. If your still out there thanks!!! lovin the wheels. AND to those out there in the 562, get at me! Im in the 56 deuce myself. Heres a pic with the wheels, i still want to lower it, and still debating tint, want to go limo or no tint at all, but i dont want to deal with tha cops..ooo well. maybe this weekend. i leave ya with this!!

 

was the one you got the rims from get a new lexus GX or an M3?


new and old car look hot, cant wait to see the rims on, but timing? its the middle of winter.

 

he said he was gogin for a 3 series beamer, and yup timing, it is mid-winter they came off today! rollin stocky! gotta put the wheels away for the winter. hehe

 

when does everyone usually take/put back their wheels? everyone has their own time. so i wanna know how you guys do it. and why? everyone seems to have a different opinion as to y they take their wheels off for winter.

 

^ depends on where you live.

In Toronto, I notice winter tires on cars as early as late october-mid november.

I spent Christmas in Cali. 3 years ago, and i saw plenty of cars that hadnt switched until Christmas-New years.

 

i c, i just got these wheels but with my other cars usually take em off begginning/mid december n slap em back on end of january if that. im in cali so it aint too bad. we just get rain where im at in the 562 lol
