Numairh's DGP 6MT TL
Well, just picked up an '05 6MT from my work! 100k miles, no accidents, and major services already done. Got it for a steal. It is time to get rid of the SSM soon. I am swapping parts over then will list her for sale!

I have been a little busy haha. Here is how she sits about 3-4 days later. So far, I swapped the headlights, side markers, coilovers, wheels, and short shifter. I also washed, clayed, and waxed it. Need to do a paint correction soon but she looks pretty good as is.

I've been super busy this week. I wrapped the orange wood trim in black wood grain vinyl, I swapped over my short shifter from the old TL, I put a light tint on my taillights from Laminx, replaced all halogens in the interior, license plate lights, and reverse lights with LEDs from EndlessRPM (SUPER bright), and my friend/lead of CleanCulture Norcal bannered up my new TL with a Henny copper banner.

Did a lot since my last update. I sold my Type S lips and bought an OEM Type S rear bumper, base front Aspec, and am picking up Type S side skirts in a couple days. If you can't tell, I am not doing full Aspec on this car. I had it for 3 years and its too played out now. I got my ATLP catback, RV6 Jpipe, K&N cold air intake, Progress RSB on the DGP from my old one as well. Swapped to 08 base tails but might go Type-S. I also went back to amber front LED turn signals and got some 6000K HID bulbs to replace the factory ones. Last, I removed the rear emblems, the mudguards, and I installed a rear diffuser. She will be going into paint this weekend to color match all the new parts!

Moar updates!!
So I sold my wheels on Monday, and ordered a set of ESR SR11 in black chrome which just came in. 18x9.5 +22 but I have to run a 3mm spacer in the front because the barely were touching the brakes :/. Waiting on tires to come in now. Went with 225/35/18 Achilles ATR Sport 2. Also got my Type S side skirts off my friend who just got Aspec. Bumpers, lip and skirts going into get painted this Saturday and hopefully wheels are on next week. I also did a 1 step paint correction because the swirls were really bothering me, and it looks so much better. Ill do a better correction a little bit later but this will do for now.

Got the wheels on! I love the fitment, but the car sits a little lower with the 35 series tire... Need to get used to it. Its rubs all around, so I shaved my rear fenders (scared to roll because I don't know if any repairs with bondo have been done) and it rubs a lot less now, can't even see the marks on the tire either.. 18x9.5 +22 with a 3mm up front to clear the calipers and 225/35 all around.
