Funny you should mention that, its probably the number one reason why I havent put it on yet. I want a roof "lip"spoiler" not a roof spoiler, however wit it being painted black like the roof, I'm wondering if it really be all that "large". Thanks for the input though, I appreciate it because theres something thats got me on the fence...

Nichio, please don't take this the right way, but you got a sweet azz. Dirty and all!
I LOVE those last 2 shots you took.
I appreciate it!! The tracked down the guy who took those shots and recruited him for a job...depending on the weather today, I might just op in for a the photo shoot. The reds and oranges are starting to pop on the trees..Supertuffff More "sweet azz" pics to come! lol

You would think "Cars" would be your only worry...Imagine this...

I just picked up the TL-S off the show room floor less than 2 weeks prior..I parked in a Bank parking lot , surrounded by curbs with 1 free edge on my driver side two blocks away from any nightlife...just to come back and see my sideview mirror HANGING by the wire threads slamming against my door in the pouring rain...F*cking College Towns! Someone BEAR HUGGED my mirror off...no "smashed" damage to the mirror, just snapped right off the base...On the side that was curb parked.. WTFFF!! Who does that? Seriously...I see people do sh!t to cars all the time in revenge...let someone damage my car instead off having the balls to confront me...They're bound find their car at the bottom of the nearest Lake I assure you!

Needless to say, I actually took my own shirt off and MacGyver-ed it in a sling and closed it in the window so I could drive home without it thrashing on my car because I couldnt disconnect the wire harness..


Rockstar, I will never...ever leave them unfolded...ever again..

Damn... thats messed up. Ive been in that situation too, I got all my windows busted for no reason when i was in high shcool. but yeah the floating mirrors is a pretty cool touch... maybe now you can pull it off since you have to get a new mirror.

Well, that DEFINITELY explains it! I guess I'm spoiled by the fact that my car sleeps in a garage at home and in a locked lot at work. I wonder if you could retrofit the motors or mirrors off of one of the cars that automatically flip up when parked.

...and don't think you were going to get away with me not noticing the fact that your story included a girl taking her shirt off. I love your dedication...

I totally agree with you J on parking as close as you can to the curb....but you will be surprised with the kind of idiots around....

if am in a downtown neighborhood, i fold my mirrors....

if am at walmart/target I park as far as i can and leave the mirrors unfolded....

better safe than sorry

Yeah, topless girl...and our "worry" was for the mirror!
C'mon, lady! I know you KNOW how guys operate!

I have to say, the fact that your car and keeping it looking good being a priority is not a huge turnoff for any of us either. Keep up the good work!

AND Happy Friday!

Now onto Megan Carbon Fiber Roof Spoiler, Tinted Turn Signals, and Black Painted Side View Mirror Bases to give them a "floating" clean look!

to be continued...

p.s. she's still getting dropped more...just waiting for it to settle in so I can adjust the edfc for a nice and fender friendly tuck
Car looks amazing! You've done a great job with all your mods! I have 3 questions though if you don't mind helping me with.

What exactly is EDFC? an what does that thing under the ac vent do? an what brand lugs are those?

EDFC = Electronic Damping Force Controller. The thing under the vent electronically controls the damping force
