Good man, glad to hear it. 
Yeah, that jack that John posted is the one I got, it's actually lower than even my aluminum low pro racing jack...doesn't even touch the sideskirt when going under the front. The real solution is one jack for rear side first, jack up enough to get the 2nd jack in...then you're balling.
J.
I swear, jeckyll and hyde...I am having such a hard time deciding...sleek and sporty looking with no rear spoiler...but then I see other pictures and I feel like it adds a cool addition to the look.

the double sided dildo
well either way the car looks NICE....mine looks like a POS right now with the way the weather has been....melting snow is keeping the ground wet which is not good to keep a car clean

Yeah, we're lucky in that regard, Anil...a little rain here and there but mostly...car stays clean.
I agree, double sided indeed and yes Austin, you are very biased. It looks great with nothing, or a small spoiler, but MAN, as soon as I take it off, I feel like it looks too plain.

^^^ ohhh myyy
our little one is all grown up
Jeremy, I have kinda started to like all the switching you do....keeps this thread interesting...plus makes me feel you have 2 TL's as both (aspec, no fogs, silver grille AND works, fogs, blacked out theme) look GREAT but worlds apart....

LMAO...thanks Anil. Yeah, it does kinda look like 2 different cars, but if you dig both looks, I must be doing something right!
Yeah, I better put Austin back in his cage before he develops a personality or any self worth. Then he'd be a danger to society.

IMO
No way to Type-S spoiler on UA6
Reason 1- We are UA6, we stay true UA6
Reason 2- It looks weird, I don't know why, just doesn't look complete as it doesn on Type-S (might be the bumper or something) don't know
J.
If I had a dark color TL
100% Spoiler
But on silver/white blah blah, lines stay out sooo much and it looks good without spoiler too.
That wide ass comes out and looks awesome without it.
In your case I would use spoiler all the time.
If you remove the fogs, use A-Spec rims, and stock grille... to look plain as Austin mentioned, you could go without spoiler, to look plain and sexy
But your total dark setup requires that wing to look badass

heres what you do man.
1. Put the aspecs on one side and the works on the other side.
2. Cut wing in half, put half wing on car
3. Take Pics
4. Post Pics.
5. Azine be like "Rockstar we love your car, we love it long time"
6. Paint your car and do it all over again.
seriously though, its awesome that you can give yourself those options to play with and not get for bored for awhile. Excited for what you can throw at us next.

Hmmm...stay tuned...In looking at it objectively, I do agree, it does look very clean with nothing else on there. We'll see.
I agree, but still can't help that at some angles, I don't like it. But thank you for the sentiment regardless, has felt good to be someone that can rock it without too much hate.
LMAO...you two love it, huh? Thanks fellas...we shall see what happens next.
2 Face TL! YEAH! and my arch nemesis, Transformers TL!.
Thanks man...yeah, you know me, always got something going. My credit isn't the best right now so getting into another car is NOT an option...(not that I even want to). I actually test drove like 4 different cars when credit was still top notch and STILL decided that I loved driving the TL more. SOOO...my solution to boredom is DEFINITELY to constantly keep changing things up...lights, tails, spoiler...more bass, less bass etc.

Found a pretty cool comparison shot of when I first got the works...no spacers, not maxed on the tein yet. What a difference!

yes, its amazing what couple simple mods will do...drop, spacers, roll fenders and all of a sudden you are popular and get PM's asking for specs
Your car has come a long long way Jeremy....I do visit the first page at times and (even though its not my car) I feel nostalgic

Yum, I don't know no chicks, man! NONE! And if I did, they'd just put me in the "friend zone" like they have my whole life. I'd be all like, hey, bikini, my hood, now!?! And they'd just giggle and give me one of those bro soft arm punches.
Anil, who are you kidding, same here, man!! I get nostalgic too...but thank you, quite a compliment. I don't really think about it, but I guess that's how people get good at anything...repeated failure and wasted money, right? LOL.
KJ, super ironic you post that. I was looking at your pics earlier and thought, wow, so clean, so nice, such contrast. Then I was thinking, fkkk...
same rims as me! Like a girl at prom that spotted another girl wearing my dress. I had a big debate about it with a buddy at work yesterday (disclaimer: he loves 20" chrome rims) and he's like, wow, your car looks so much better now...I'm like, better how...oh, the black wheels look like your car is on doughnuts...I'm like...ok, so if I paint them silver you'd like them. NO, they look too racer for me. I'm like, ok...so you just don't like the rims then? LOL...I told him, I love the aspecs, which is why I'd never sell them. But I DO feel like the works put the look of the car over the top and make it unique...which is what I was seeking.
They'll be back soon enough. Then you'll be the only one in that pretty dress!

Exactly J. Those rims make the car uniquely yours and make it stand out that much more. My car looks nice and clean with the A-specs, but until I add some more aggressive aftermarket rims, my car won't pop the way yours does with the Works.

Hey I came across your exhaust vids on youtube, car sounds awesome!
Thanks for taking the time to do that
I was on the fence about getting the HFPC & longtube J-pipe combo, but now I'm convinced. The combo sounds much better than I expected. Looking forward to hearing my improved exhaust tone and feeling the gains in the powerband.
