Very nicely done, overall! Congrats!
There's one thing though: I don't know if it's just the picture (i know sometimes pictures dont do lights justice. for example, take my avatar. i have 6000k HIDs and they look like 12000k on the picture), but the headlights/fogs look like cheap 10 000k HIDs... If you really want the clean look, switch to 4300 or 5000k

ok guys and girls here's a pic of the custom dock installed. i installed the nav2go module, P.I.E. X-3 aux adapter and a PAC video switcher, to toggle between Iphone and DVD video. everything works perfectly! i got full Iphone/music control via OEM stereo and steering wheel along with text. and Iphone video. going to the navi screen two monitors in the visors and a FOURTH
7" monitor in the rear (pics soon to be posted)
i still need to mount the P.I.E. X-3, nav2go, and video switcher switches. i could just mount then under the dash somewhere but that would be too easy. gonna do something alittle different than what everybody else has done
stay tuned
you guys keep your cupholders
i prefer something custom

more custom shit!!!!
my center cubbys are are being occupied by my 3sixty vol knob and EDFC unit. i wanted to do something different, the VSA button mod was out of the question i needed a spot for three switches/buttons. so fabricated a switch box for the P.I.E. X-3 , nav2go and video switcher. mounted it in the driver side lower door compartment. i extended the wires of all switches with some 10 conductor flat cable. ran it through the factory door harness, for a clean install.
i could have just put them under the dash or in the center console compartment, but thats not me and plus thats way too easy and boring wanted these at my fingertips, all i have to do is flick it open, or just close it. these are in a perfect spot

Hey JP, you're an engineer huh?
TL's looking better and better bro. When you move up to the 5th gen TL, let me know so I can take this ride off your hands. (as-is of course!!)

thanks
make time brother make time.
why does everybody say that? everybody thinks im an engineer. i said it before i have the vision and mind if an engineer, but im not one. i can see things an plan how its going to work and how im going to make it in my mind, before it even exists.
on the TL-S lets see what the 5th gen looks like first.
i know! im kind of running out of mods. i have one more piece to this mod still. the custom rear center console, i'll have pics up by thursday. it should look real nice and OEM, its my first time working with fiberglass, besides the small tray i made for the iphone dock.
then after that new custom headlights.

So you're a surgeon? Because surgeons are meticulous, perfectionist, repair artist, who like to cut into and rebuild and then see the great outcome of their work!
I figured it out...you're a scientist. Like minkl81 said before, you don't mod anyore, you invent!
Can't wait to see that rear center console bro.

it's an a-spec kit! As for the front end it's a base 07-08 custom molded to fit the type-s bumper. BTW, welcome back dude!
