If you had the good sense to make enough money for lambo's, I doubt you'd give away your TL for a grand. You'd be an opportunist to make some extra gas money for the other cars!

Catfisha, glad we could oblige! We aim to please. Or please to aim, one of the two...

If I had enough money to have a stable of Lambos:

1) I wouldnt have Lambos (NSX, GT-R, Atom, Ultima, CTS-Vagon instead)
2) I would have a RWD CL

Very nice updates J!

I haven't been on Azine regularly in a while to keep up but I love those tails. I've been wanting to do something to my spare Depo Type-S's for a while.

Is it just me being stupid or is there no DIY for modding tails on the 3g? I'm a little unsure about cutting the tails up without any sort of DIY.

Dude...I found a few threads, but most were unrelated to actually WHERE to cut. This is the one I used for guidance!

Thank you, btw...very much. I had been wanting to do this for a LONG time.
I didn't mind this mod at all...none of it was rocket science.

Let me see if I can find the OTHER thread that had a BUNCH more pictures.

Since when did the people of Azine care about safety? Hawt mods > safety

Thanks, man. Yeah, I don't blame you, we're a pretty motley crew still remaining in the 3G side. I usually click "find new posts" so I don't really have too many boundaries on AZ.

Thanks again for stopping in. Austin, thanks for stickin up for me! LOL...they are plenty bright, I promise you that again. I checked them out last night, there is NO way you would not know that I'm braking.

Don't it though...certainly seems like the 3G crowd is rapidly trying to change that side into it's own mini ramblings area. But I don't mind...

took a few pics of my buddy's 07 base CBP...always love to park next to a stock TL to see how far the car has come.

Swoosh...when you're due for your next alignment (or feel like getting one)...start messing with height...drive it for a week, if you love it...then get it aligned. EASY!

^^^ I usually do that and having lifetime alignment is a bonus, so i can practically go in everyday and get an alignment LOL....

but I will be switching back to the winter tires in the next month or so....as the temperature dips down in the 50's the UHP summer tires dont feel as "grippy" so i put on my winter setup and raise her up by ~1 inch to avoid any damage from the snow/etc....

so am guessing it will be early next year when i switch back to my summer setup and drop her....i might be trading these rims for something else....

...you and Josh should do a joint F/S add in the BM to sell BOTH your sets of wheels. You've both been itching to get rid of them for a while now.

^^^ well i would only trade it as i have put tooo much into it....I should have sold it for cheap rather than getting them powdercoated and expensive tires on em....if not for those 2 things i would have sold my rims for like 500 odd bucks....now since i put soo much into it, i wont sell it for anything less than 1500....

there is a local guy who I have been talking to who might be interested in these and i am def interested in his light weight setup....so lets see if we trade....
