I'm also planning on fabricating a lip and I refuse to use mine as a Mold so I had to pick up another bumper as well.

The New Pics will include a Painted Shrouds and the Black Chrome Strut Bar, the New Exhaust and J Pipe, Cat Delete, non res and the Roof Lip and hopefully the fabricated mods... And I will EVEN upload a YouTube Video for the New Sound/Look! LOL

I'm a perfectionist and I hate shitty photos and the minute I throw one up here, it'll be "Yo that girls TL is trash.....GIMME A BREAKKKKK

Believe me, you all have lit the fire under my ass it get this finished and pictures out.. the RHD DC2 should be done by then as well, so I'll even be able to throw some Mama/Daughter Pics to show everyone the two loves of my life...

I'm pretty hyped about 'em Steve...after this year I think next year will be interior and Supercharger...Planning this out so every year will be more exciting..

East Coast has had some serious shifts in Weather...Everyone who lives elsewhere wouldn't understand. It's be completely different from any other year and it royally SUCKS.

I loved the ATLP...but that would have been perfect for my 06 Black on Black Base, not my 08 Type S...She's a ladyyyy hahaha The only aggression that is coming out of it is the exhaust which I'm excited about.

Thank you!! Everyone else I know has taken a really aggressive approach to their Mods...I, on the other hand, respect the OEM look and add a bit of a flair, which is why I'm not Stanced out, although there is certainly a place and time for that and I think it looks beautiful on a lot of other TL's and it almost convinces me to do it....it's not for me and CERTAINLY not for where I live! lol

Lowering it was the best decision I made...there was no adjustments to the suspension height after installing the Coilovers...the pictures I have are without it settling and now after 1 season of having them, it's at a perfect height..worth every penny!

I'm here! I tried to delete some of them too, but it won't let me do it either.

No worries though....



Hey, what happened to the SuperCharger project?

Thanks for trying!!!!

Thats next years official project. I was on the fence about it...but I decided yes. This year is the remaining mods and the lil girly touches here and there..roof lip, fabricated cf front lip, engine shrouds and exhaust..next year should be the end of the tl mods...I hope lol

LOL....those don't sound like girly touches to me.


I'm glad you've still got the SuperCharger on the "To-Do" List.

This car looks fantastic. I wish there was more a spec in its life, but the color and rims are an awesome combo.

And I hear you on not being slammed. I love the ride and handling of my coilovers, but I also like that I can keep them at a height that doesn't turn everyday driving into a chore.

First time I have looked in this thread. Im surprised at how good bright red looks on the Type S and those dark wheels finish it!! Nice job looks amazing!! I do however think that if the bezels around your fogs were left black it would look better though, but thats just personal opinion.
Just curious, your title cays Corvette red. Well there were tons of reds used on Corvettes, so whats the exact color? Victory Red, Torch Red....to name a couple of the more recent C6 colors.

The only other person if the WORLD that drives my Cars, My other half of course! After my first drive, I made him go for a run because I couldn't believe how much more "peppy" it was...it's actually pretty noticeable.. there's no lag whatsoever.

I too thought ASPEC life was neccesary until I decided Custom was more in the future...I dont want to do something I see everywhere else...paying attention to other drivers is a chore enough, i dont need ride height added to that list lol

Such a beautiful car. And to see someone from my hometown do it. Even better. I miss OCNY sometimes. Especially seeing how much the car scene has improved over the last couple years. Keep it up!
