That's connected to audio player unit.
And this is with side panel installed
Non nav is different??
And here is the headlights, watch in HD but headlights were yuck, after the rain
And have some pictures from Switzerland, your home
Don't know if I told you, my best best friend in Istanbul moved there after getting married.
Friend more than 20+ yrs, well, they are our family friend in Istanbul
I'll delete these later
His Vectra
Wifeyss 206 and their dog

Today was a nice day...
Did the little details that makes my brain happy.
Cleaned the other 2 rims that I didn't last week.
Rotated the tires, took the 2 good rims to front. Guess what, that vibration comes up whenever I hit the gas pedal is gone
Made me so happy, car flows much better
Blacked out the A sign on rims, really changes the look
Took out my ACURA decal because was getting ripped, not perfect.
Found that I missed the clean look. Not installing one for a long time.
Lowered the rear, equaled the the height, car sits straight.
Redid the plastidip on bottom and top grille
So kind of small summer touch on the car, that makes me happy
FRONT
REAR
No idea what the hell did I went over
I would've raced him if I had the TL

I remember you tellng me about it Steven 
I just test drove BMW 645 sedan, CLS550 to compare both
+ Bonus 335i sedan with a M package
Got lots of comments about 3 of them and pics and videos
Will create a thread about it.
Here's a sneak peak
Oh... and it was a free ride, meaning no one from dealer rode with me
You guys could imagine what happend
Well, had to know every inch of the car on the road to compare
but I was disappointed with 645
Loved the CF skirts at the bottom + the CF mirror + the CF lip

OPEL! 
My grandfather had one...along with a Audi before they were popular! When he passed away, he was driving a Buick Lesabre.
The one car I saw there that I would have loved was the older civic si's...with the triangluar exhaust in the middle of the bumper.
Great shots...that BMW is a classic, man.
About the radio, yes sir, radio screws are the same. 2 down below, 2 above. You can run a screwdriver through that little clip hole, grab the screw and bend the side panels out of the way. I'm telling you I've removed my radio at least 15 times and I've never touched the side panels.
That's probably the rust that runs off the rotors after rain. I get it too. I'm not sure I like the blacked out center caps. AND, if your vibration is gone, remember that because the other rim needs to be rebalanced and hopefully it isn't bent.

That Civic is like a snake... in and out 
Ohhh the rust from rotors dripping, I see
Why you no like the center caps, before it wasn't perfect, half ripped, half something like rust
Balancing doesn't work on that rim bro, No idea what to do. I am going to try refinishing it by myself.
Will post my tires on craigslist. 225/45
I want the ones on BM, although not sure about the color on those + non TPMS pushes me away.... but clean rims

What's TPMS?
Yeah, I guess it flows on your look. I would rather you have sprayed the whole thing silver first, or gunmetal. THEN wait a few days, then plastidip over the entire thing and JUST pry off the "A".
About the wheel...is it bent?

Yeah black stands out
I don't know if it's bent or not but without the clips, it gives 1.25 on the balance machine, that's too much
I lowered the rear last weekend and thought the car does sit straight now but it doesn't. Need little little bit moreeee
So slamming the rear.
If it's too much, I'll lower the front but if the car sits straight, nope not touching the front-end
Dude I just bought 225/45, meaning reducing the sidewall.
I am fuhed in Boston
Don't we have the same coils?
How the hell can you slam the front? I have like 6 threads left and if I slam it, that would even tuck the rims in
Unlike rears
and your both f/r matches
Because man, you check out the tire pressure with your mouth

check tire pressure with my mouth, huh? I'm NOT falling for that little trick again! I hate fraternity life!
Seriously though, maybe it's the corrected camber that brings it back up? I'm not sure why/how but I'm maxed all around now.

Dude, even Bruce replied WTF
Let's see...
Thanks bro
Yup I did this morning.
PO420
PO741
Look, he knows me
Fuck this shit AT is not for me
Yesterday, It was pretty hot outside, had the A/C on as well.
I usually drive slow with A/C on but couldn't yesterday.
And even slide the hell out of the rear end. How?
Move to 3rd lane from 1st, and then turn the steering to left to get on 1st lane again, and right at that second try to get on the middle lane, boom!!!!!!!!! rear end slides left.
Straight the car, floor it and make a right to 3rd lane.
That really happened dude and I was in traffic
and rear end really did moved out this time that I though I am going to spin
anyways, I was on way to airport... on the way back A BIG delay between gear changes occured
When I got home at night, check engine came on came on on the highway.
Umm yes Anil, I didn't tell you hard driving part... did I?

yeah I think you missed THAT part
as i emailed you couple links on FB, the 3rd or the 4th gear is toast....either a rebuild or a swap in enroute....
you can spend couple hundred bucks trying to replace the solenoid and do a full flush, but from what I hear the fluid gets thin at higher temps which leads to slippage....try a full 5x3 with Type F, that might help
Doing F/LightW/D4 for at least 5 times, assuming it would be perfect to swap to only F. Which I am planing to
I won't waste time/money with solenoid or other BS
I want to hear what Bruce will say to.
I'll test how it does with Type-F drain and fill
If it'll perform good, after 500 miles, I'll re-do it again with also changing the tranny filter.
I know rebuilt will be cheaper, but I'll pay little bit more and do MT swap. Bruce might help me out with the price too
Not driving the car anymore, took bros GTI
Car drives nice at low speeds, but who knows...

yeah those are all the links I send on FB...
Type F is a thicker fluid...more protection at high heat....but its wayy higher than OEM viscosity....D4 has FM's....
did you experience any shudder? any vibrations? if yes, you might be better with going with just D4...the added FM's in that fluid will help....

the 2004-2005 AT is truly made out of glass...
I have to make sure am not gunning it and acting like a fool with the transmission in D....I usually select the gear (in S) and then gun it....thats why you will not see me doing any 0-40 mph times....i just dont wanna damage the transmission/axle/etc
well if Meko gets a MT swap, I will be very jelly

No vibrations.
Just felt like, keeping the clutch pressed for too long when driving a stick shift.
Tell me something to do
Bruce hasn't replied yet
Thank god I don't drive rwd
I really want the BRZ and in a dark blue, but it's just doesn't make sense to get rid of this TL.. ahhhhhhhhhh
