Small update

Dropped and spacers are in:





Went to Liberty State Park in NJ (4 hrs drive) this past weekend for a Meet/BBQ. Here are the pics of my car, they are not taken by me.





While I was there, met Bruce (AckTL05) and picked up some custom taillights by him. I had another set of custom talis from him before but got harassed by the local police so I decided not to take chances and had Bruce made a set of "rockstar143" style talis.

The other set of custom that got harassed by the police:





New tails in. Also I was testing to see how bright the V3 Tritons are.. They are BRIGHT!!



Ass shot:



I need to clean my exhaust tips That's all for now

Edited: Forgot one more pic

15mm front, 20mm rear. But I'm thinking 20mm front and 25mm rear now because it is still a little bit sunk in.

Hello guys and gals, it's been a while. Here are a few small updates for Spring/Summer (had my username changed to match my plates BTW) Thanks Mr. Steven Bell

First up, visual mods:

Headlights. Removed my headlights and sent them to JnC to get the "halos" fix as some of you know I have the problem with them flickers and does not light up fully just like many others umnitza members out there including SharksBreath, which whom recommended JnC so kudos dude! (don't really have a picture of the headlight itself when it was off the car, only when they are back on the car)

Got the rings painted blue


Lit up in the dark


Lit up, day time (I've pulled my DRL fuse off and use these as DRL's by the way)


Lit up with lowbeam and fogs


While I have my headlights off and away, I decided to paint the grille and engine covers

Bumper is off


All the covers (picked up an used injen CAI from the Black Market so I decided to paint the tube too)


Sanded and prepped, ready to paint


After they are painted


Everything back in place including the headlights




Blacked out grille except the "A"


Next up, performance mods:

Took advantage of Richie's "sale" a few weeks back and bought both of the v3 PCD's and j-pipe



It was too loud and raspy? So I took advice of justnspace and once again, SharksBreath and buy the Magnaflow 10436 resonator to help fix the rasp


Brakes. Been wanting to upgrade to BBK's since forever, especially now when I have the TE's the brakes show even more and it is embarrass to show those dusty/rusty brakes so I got some off of XLR8's website. Front rotors and calipers arrived 2 days after payment sent. So it is very fast shipping from XLR8 The rear though, took a while because it comes all the way from California

Rear rotor arrived


Calipers and RDX's brakes cover for the rear getting painted




That is all for now. The BBK's are getting on the car tomorrow (Monday) and so is the resonator, hopefully it will help with the rasp. Below are a few pics of how the car looks so far, thanks for reading!









Last but not least, a 1920's shot for Mr. Steven Bell

No I do not paint, however, my friend runs his own body shop and he did all of my painting.

Thanks, indeed it had come a long way.
The blue TL is custom from BMW's Estoril Blue. Member sunny201 is the owner.
