'Cause, not only are you in the pic of your car, it almost looks like you are in your avatar, and you call yourself "Mr. Connecticut". I'm as straight as they come, but morbid curiousity presents its ugly head here for many.

BTW, nice drop, but a tad bit low for my taste. I have S-Tech springs, and my wife hates driving my car because "it's too low". Although, I do fully appreciate your color choice.

Perhaps showcasing your car with moar photos might help this situation? No offense, but a single shot of your car with a simple drop isn't much to talk about. Your car looks great. Just go along with the ribbing. It shows that you have a sense of humor. Every one of us needs a laugh from time to time, right?

Dude... usually (as in almost always) when guys post pics of their car, they dont try to stick their face in there to get some air time. You had to actually go find someone to take the pic for you. You got ur face in the only pic u posted, in your avatar, and in the "what we look like" thread. And you got a little over 100 post so you're obviously not a regular on this forum. This is like wat girls do to get attention. Dont you think thats a little :ghey:? We're just saying it as see it, suck it up

+1, it's kinda narcissistic IMO. I dont think anyone is checking you out, it just kinda shows you want people to know who's driving that nice looking TL (and trust me, no one really cares who you are). You can go to facebook and show off you face, you can come here to show off your car.

why would you come to a car thread and post a pic of yourself for an avatar? I mean, theres tones of avatar's on azine that have nothing to do with cars, but a pic off your self shows your vanity:ghey:.

PLUS, when the photochoppers get a hold of your face, THEY NEVER GIVE IT BACK, they'll chop your face on anything!!!

the name alone "mr.connecticut" makes you sound like you came from a ghey beauty pagaent.

anyway the ride is nice, keep it up.

thats true, especially if you live up north, these streets suck. i hope you don't plan to keep it slammed for the winter, I know some ppl who keep their whips slammed all year longthe streets are never forgiving.

sorry OP, but i agree...

way too low imo...those wheel wells are flaring out something fierce. it just doesn't look natural. doesn't look comfortable to drive either.

raise it up a notch or 2, n do us all a favor n stop being a prick.

i really dont think he's being a prick here guys. this thread has turned pretty ridiculous. so what if the guy posed in his car and there's only one pic of his drop. i'll take a little vanity over the 3rd grade writing skills half the other 3G threads rock. which no one says shit about.

lol wow, you guys ate him up. I didnt think it was a big deal, not enough to comment about.

anyway, drop looks good. you'll need at LEAST a 10-15mm spacer all around to make the wheels look right. Im sure theyre sunken in the wheel wells a bit at that ride height. I was dropped pretty low on tl-s rims as well and it just doesnt look right without spacers. post up some angled shots and dont worry about the negative comments you get, the car looks good.

A lil freshman hazing never hurt anyone

but I agree, it's really not a big deal when you think about it. OP, in all seriousness your car looks good. Are you going to work on any performance mods? or are you just sticking to aesthetics?
