Meko....go to a dealership (any dealership)
you will find a guy who usually details all the cars there and fixes road chips and stuff...talk to him (not the dealer)....
Mike (a local guy) got his rear bumper, aspec lip painted for $150-200 here....OEM quality

Mekers, you friggen hoouh!!!
Get coils! NOW!
The car will look better and handle better. I actually like a TL with stock wheels when it's lowered.![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The j-pipe isn't as big a gain as it's hyped up to be. I didn't feel too much. It feels a little more "free flowing" and easier to gain RPM's...but that's about it. Not like it's bringing your 0-60 time down a second.

J. I love your thread can we share it as my progress thread as well?
I tried that swoosh remember? Idiots gave me like $300-$400 to fix sand paint
Still $150 is too much for that little thing

MEKO, Tyler (and the others) is right.....
You can do all the mods you want, but at the end of the day, they still don't look as good as they would if your bumper was fixed.

Ok I am putting on the new rotars and pad + RDX covers this saturday
I'll fix the bumper too, and then find out about painting or first I'll just try to paint only that section and see how it comes out.
I will go with coils, Morgan can have the J-Pipe

It's high temp silver for a base, then a few coats of Satin Lagoon...can be had at home depot...then high temp clear over it.
Torque and Teal is another color made by another brand.
I can't agree, since Austin took em and he's a kid and can't do anything right!

Rockstar,
I love the painting of the ring of the projector. I love how much contrast it adds to your car. I really wish I would have seen this or known about this when I did my headlights like three years ago. So tempting to redo them just because of how awesome yours look on your car.

Just kidding, I know you know your stuff, but I also think you rely too heavily on your equipment instead of the skill you already have and can only hone to make better. Stop buying stuff.

Honestly, gonna take a lot more than a little salt and vinegar to hide the stench that permeates from between my love nest. Crossing my legs was just a preemptive strike to avoid sitting on my ballz. Wait until you guys are in your 30's...you'll see.
Roof spoiler is being contemplated as we speak.
