Sweet deal, I knew upping my squat count would pay off in the end. Literally.

Awesome new shots J! I love taking pictures after a storm. It darkens everything up and I feel like the car becomes the focus of the picture even more.

Damn, brother...I'm getting old.
This happened when I was in middle school...was the laughing stock of the country for the way he spelled potato

Thank you much, btw...honestly, I sometimes can't even believe I'm the one taking some of these pictures...stuff I thought was nice 6 months ago look like sh*t to me and now I'm getting more and more picky on what constitutes a nice picture. I used to think, MAN, I wish someone with some skills would take nice shots of my car...but with guidance from those guys, like Sean, John, Austin and the Tylers...I've gotten to a point where I'm not embarrassed to post my own. Thanks again y'all.

He forgot about my new thread

Thanks for the bump though...why not!?!?

Dang Morgan, trust me, I'd consider it, possibly...but I haven't taken a vacation with Betty in a long time...so me going alone would be frowned upon...even if I had the benefit of an entire road trip of Austin road head. And Betty ain't no trooper when it comes to car stuff...she was bored and ready to leave after 15 minutes at the first car meet I ever took her too. I'd love to meet a bunch of you guys and hang out...make jokes, tittteee twisters and overcooked smores. But I have to take a raincheck on this one. I DO appreciate the effort to invite me...and the promise of meat really did make me consider it.

J.

How would they even do that? Just merge the newer thread's content (since smaller) and interject it somewhere here? I'm sure Steven Bell would attempt it, but he'll probably hate me.

Maybe I can ask Yummy nicely.

and since I see him visiting :

I would highly recommend that if he hears back from his fiberglass guy, if you guys are interested in pulling the trigger on this spoiler...to contact THIS GUY:

Man,

I havent really been around the last few days and missed these major updates!!!

J, Your car looks amazing as usual. I've always LOVED the CSL spoiler and if I didn't have the Type-S one I would have also been ALL over it.

As for the interior pieces, they look amazing...Well done!

Thanks, man...very much.
Yeah, the only spoilers I liked were the Type S oem, or the CSL. The Type S one was just more money and, let's face it...OEM. I'm really happy I pulled the trigger.

Dude, my paint guy is going to reblock/primer it to get rid of some waves that are present on top...we decided that giving him the spoiler would be easiest...grabbed the fattest test line I have wrapped around two pieces of wood and guess what? It snapped the line...



Window weld is no joke, that spoiler ain't goin ANYWHERE. Yay peace of mind!

New shots look awesome! I am a huge fan of that Teal on your Brembos...I was thinking Lucifer Orange for mine...But I'm not sure really. I miss my Black TL...there will never be anything sexier than a Black car the minute after its buffed. Awesome!

Jeremy, it's easy for me to merge your 2 threads. If you like for me to do it, just say the word.


That invite from Morgan is "hard" to pass up. I sincerely hope your going to attend.


If you don't, you might suffer the wrath of Morgan......

Can't even think of words to describe how awesome your car looks. Paint looks like it just came out the booth. You definitely have one unique TL.
