Official intro w/ the crappiest cell phone photos possible
Hey guys, so I've been posting here and there for about a year now. I bought my 2005 Navi TL in SSM in February 2010 with my own money. I've been slowly changing things up on it ever since. I never made any sort of introduction or welcome thread as I never had the time.
And yes this whole thread is all composed of photos from my crappy blackberry phone. I simply do not have the time nor patience to do a "photoshoot". Work and social life is way more important than cars or online forums (no offense to anyone!) :thumbsup: Most of these photos are completely random, but I will try to list them in proper chronological order as best as possible from memory. I'm actually just copying these links from my FB mobile album haha. I will try to update this thread whenever I will get a chance to take better photos. Until then, thanks for looking! Mods: Debadged Full Aspec Kit Gunmetal 18x18.5 Aspecs Blacked out cleared headlights. Sprayed taillights and rear sidemarkers. AEM V2 CAI 2011 DVD Update 3rd & 4th gear switches replaced Reverse HIDs w/ switch Progress RSB (not yet installed :ugh:) Stage 3 exhaust (not yet installed :ugh:) Planning on painting or vinyling roof black. MIGHT give it a drop with coilovers. I have a steep driveway and this is my DD living in NYC so..... fml. Tight ass driveway, I know. Bone stock. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1016456_n.jpg Gunmetal Aspec's and lightly sprayed tails and rear sidemarkers. http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2456089_n.jpg My dog in the driver seat. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1244505_n.jpg You can see my ebay roof lip and my custom tags. Also debadged. http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3962828_n.jpg After a few months the roof lip got stolen. Oh well. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._1773742_n.jpg Eventually installed full Aspec lip kit towards end of 2010. http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5546787_n.jpg Digging out my spot after NYC's first blizzard in Dec 2010. Front and side Aspec visible. Also back on blizzak wrapped stockies for the winter http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2266027_n.jpg At the tire shop getting blizzaks mounted. Blacked out headlights and Aspec kit visible again. http://l7.sphotos.l3.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5904509_n.jpg Last but not least, just installed reverse HID's thanks to a local AZ member! http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...8_425952_n.jpg |

Love the A-Specs. And I can respect your vote to not tint the windows...your car looks nice and different without them.
Might I make one suggestion? Getting some Scratch-X and polishing your headlight lenses. Could just be the phone pics making it look a bit hazy. The crap that comes off is disgusting, I did mine when I got my car. It really freshens the front up. Oh and nice license plate. :rofl: |
Tight driveway indeed.
My garage doors are wider LOL How do you get out? |
^thats exactly what i was wondering lol i didnt even see the dog in the seat till my girl pointed it out. ha cute is it yours or your girls
|
Haha I actually have about a foot and change of clearance form my car to the wall in the driveway, I just open carefully and squeeze myself out. I try to just park in front of my driveway whenever possible because it's such a PIA.
And the dog is both me and my girlfriends. Almost 3 years old now! |

Your car looks great! Gunmetal A-Specs ftw :toocool: Holy hell you have a tight driveway :what: |
Pics didnt work... i just think my work computer sucks!
|
good start, you should black the roof...it looks dope on ssm
|
YOU LIVE IN BROOKLYN?
damn i never seen you. Why don't you come out to our meets? anyway...tint that bitch! |
nice car. those new yellow NY plates are uugly though!
|
Donald, join or Silver TL Social Group here.
|
You must be skinny as hell to get in and out of your car
|
Sucks that your lip spoiler got stolen. Nice looking car.
|
looks good so far....sucks about the roof spoiler though
|
nice progress on your SSM! i want to be on that level asap with my SSM in Brooklyn
|
great progress ;) and sorry about your roof spoiler being taken -___- ive become less paranoid about my atlp v2 but now its back to normal :ugh:
|
Thought I'd update a bit. Haven't done any major mods since I last posted. Although I did install the rv6 v3 jpipe and progress rsb.
Didn't get a chance to vinyl my roof yet.. although it's something I've really really really been wanting to do for a long time. I removed the body side moldings also and blacked out my rear A emblem. Also added the aspec deck lid spoiler in black. And finally installed my roof rack and very excited for shredding season to start! http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/7...1109081432.jpg http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/1...1109081416.jpg http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/4...1109081418.jpg |
that black trunk lip spoiler looks out of place. should consider getting it painted to match your car.
even with a black vinyl roof, that black trunk lip spoiler will still look off |
Nice looking TL those dark aspecs look gooood on your silver. I hear what your sayin about no tint plus you live in the city, but 35% tint all around looks soooo good on silver. Oh and those pictures are perfect examples of why I could never live in the city... Holy crap to that picture of your driveway and car parked in the street with snow haha.

I agree with James....35% should be fine, even in the city. Have you been hassled by cops about the tinted tails? I know some jurisdictions are strict about anything hindering OEM light output...
But NYPD has been going hard on tint tickets lately because it's a huge money maker for the city. I don't need another reason to be pulled over, as I've been lucky running no front plates already. |
Welcome! Really like the black trunk spoiler, I plan to do the same to my SSM, already have the roof & roof spoiler w black vinyl.
No plans do drop your ride? |
