I didn't like the wheels when i saw first pic. I changed my mind after i saw post #27. They look pretty good!
and it looks x100 better without pinstripe and it will look x10000000 better after A-spec!

looks way better without the pinstripe, good work.


why the fuk do dealers put them on cars anyway? never seen a pin stripe that looked good.

yea they are easy to take off at least...


i had a black car years ago that had a pink one, needless to say, it went bye bye with a heat gun and some compound.

Minor "Update"

So i went and got my car washed at a local place, they hand wash and usualy do a fanstastic job. Well today they left some light scratches in my paint and i decided to redo the whole car Here are the steps i took-

1-Meguiar's Rubbing Compound
2-Meguiar's Polishing Compound
3-Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell Wax
4-Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer

It took forever and didnt get ALL the little scratches out (im sure if i didnt do it by hand it would of turned out a bit better) but im VERY pleased. If you have the time and your paint isn't shining like it used to, do this process to bring back some life to your paint. Took a couple pics but it was to dark to take any more, ill bring it out tomorrow and snap some better ones. Oh and shaved the "TL" off my trunk today too, turned out good!

Dont mind my license plate -


Really brought out the blue in the NBP paint-


More pics tomorrow

Ok here is the final results, took me around 6 hours. These damn camera phone pics DO NOT do the car any justice. It looks brand new

took the plunge..i went to my exhaust shop and got the rear mufflers removed.

Current Set up as of today-
-Stock Pre Cats
-Stock J-pipe
-Resonator removed
-Stock mid muffler
-Straight piped rear mufflers w/ factory tips

so pretty much just the factory cats w/ the mid muffler. drones some around 2k-2.5k but no rasp. sounds pretty good
