Almost went with the standard green, but sometimes you gotta take a risk:

The installation instructions said to cut an opening in the wrapper and incrementally expose an additional small portion of the part to air over time. But I went all-out; don't like to half-ass it when it comes to mods. Basically a DIY project, but my rates are low if you prefer a professional install.

It really whips around on the interstate w/all windows down. Bad-ass! Check first if street-legal in your state.

Next up:

Gosh, that's shaping up to be one seriously badass TL.

I hope I don't come up against you at a stoplight anytime soon.

Please post dyno results! Can you please follow-up with a long-term review to see how your mod holds up in 6 months?

Anyone interested in a group buy?

It would be so cool if you could get those things in model-specific versions. So if you wanted your new 3G TL to smell like the 2G TL that you miss so much, you can!!
