You have no idea...
I can't feel with my fingernail but I'm trying to wetsand it out and buff it out myself. Not fun and kinda scary.

I hear ya.

Sometimes I'm glad I am at the point with cars that I don't care enough to wet sand and buff stuff our anymore. My TL had 146K miles and it runs very well. The front end is covered in stone chips from the highway but I have found that this does not affect MPGs or ride quality so I can live with it. One day I will get a car I really care about.

I stay away from things that scare me LOL....paint is one of them....

Since Brian is working on it, I have no problems foreseeing that the trunk will come out looking professional....now if Brian moves to KS, I might try to wetsand my hood and reach out to him as well LOL

EDIT: looking good Chris....look the CF duckbill trunk

Thanks...Will update more goodies in a week or so....

Thanks Fellas...
Chris, GTFO looking for G love in my thread! Especially after trying to take my batmobile title!

On a side note, I do like the spoiler on the G...I'm not a fan of CF unless it's a black car, I don't like that much contrast. BUT, given how the TL turned out, I'm sure the G is headed toward looking awesome. How's the miata? Still have it?

Anil, who's Brian?

Ravi, agreed, man...I am getting to the point of just having to accept that it's an older car that looks cool and drives nice. Is a daily highway driver so won't ever be perfect.

So, after all this work and blood sweat and tears, this was the look I was shooting for. Quick trip about 110 miles North to see an old friend about a Wing Ding (wing making competition). I was a judge, and actually ended up winning the beer pong tournee. Beginner's luck! I've only played twice before!

still pretty flush after dropping back 5MM all around...honestly, I don't know why everyone chases wider wheels and forced negative camber to make it look flush...factory spec camber with tire as close to fender as possible for me.

Thank you, Morgimus. Funny enough, dropping back the 5 mm ALSO stopped the daily annoying rock chips I was getting on the outer edge.

I wish the CL body lines didnt pinch inwards towards the bottom. I never ran really aggressive wheels, but even with mudflaps on it the doors and fenders looks sandblasted after 3 years of running wide(ish) tires.

One "anti-roof spoiler" member down... another member to go! (UD)

Edit: I just noticed you switched to the modded base reds. They look good, but not nearly as good as the Rockstars.

The Rockstars need to go back on.

iTrader: (6)

lol...honestly, I love the roof spoiler, small, and goes with the lines of the visors.

About the tails...to the untrained eye they look like base reds!
but they're not!

What are those tails?
UA6 with just clear lenses?
Looks oke but I agree with others^^

Nice shots as always dude.
Roof soiler does look noticable...unlike what I thought...Nice nice nice J.

First thing I look at a car... that's why I love TL but not G37 sedan

EEdit: Ohh it's the other way around? You installed red lenses to your rockstar tails?

civicdrivr

Or he tinted the Rockstar tails.


No bueno.

Thanks all...no, actually, took the opportunity to give a set of base reds the same treatment...Wow...I now own 9 fucking tail lights...the odd number is for the base 07 I just ordered that I was going to use to fix the chipped "rockstar143" tail...showed up chipped also...they ended giving me a full refund but didn't ask fir the light back...included an led board too, woot

Damn looking good Jeremy!

GetLikeMe_TypeS

Been reading for hours....jus ordered 18x8.75 xxr 530 wheels all around what tire size would u suggest for this...and I've come to the conclusion that with 9.75 all around i will need my fendors rolled is this true?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Thanks, man. Honestly, yes...first step if considering flush...roll them fenders

GetLikeMe_TypeS

Do i have to roll front and rear with 8.75 or just 9.75..i ordered the 8.75 but meant to order 9.75 debating on whether or not to keep em..so many diff set ups and my eyes hurt lol so now I'm asking ?s

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I dint want to mislead you...I'm saying start with a roll all around to be safe.

Yumcha

Love the calipers.

RU_JELLY

iTrader: (1)

if you did the +35 offset probably no need for fender roll, if you did +20 youll need it more than likely depending on height. but ill give you a good piece of advice, use the search button. people will hate you for asking questions that have been answered a million times. there is actually a whole thread with probably 30 pages dedicated to the xxr 530 wheels and fitment on the 3g.

Nice!! Love the roof spoiler and the tails....I guess that's what Ill do to the spare bases I have here....


Wonder how they would look on SSM.....

Anybody wanna photoshop them on my car?

Yea i noticed that lol i been reading last two nights and still unsure wat size tires i should go with...wat set up do you have

Honestly, the only word that comes to mind when you post pictures is.. Dayum.

NINE taillights!? I'd line them up on a shelf or something in the garage.

iTrader: (6)

LOL...thank you, brother. Well, I have a 1 car garage so they're actually in the kitchen and the attic. LOL.

What car did you own prior to the TL...?
