Well holy heck...now I'm REALLY blushing. Thank you very very much for that, man. I really do appreciate it. Without sounding preachy, I've often thought that members have the perfect stance and end up going wider and wider and more and more camber and haven't really understood why. To me, the closer you can be to the fender, while maintaining a nice stance and near perfect camber...

Well, you get the point.

Earl, very kind words. I really do appreciate the feedback.

Fan Fuckin Tastic. Car looks great and I love the CSL. I have the CF CSL and I love it.

There are only so many times a man (or many men in this case) can gush over the same thing.

We are not there yet.

I love it all. Errythang. Wheels, brakes, headlights, taillights, spoilers, photography.





EXCEPT...







I still think your exhaust tips are too small. And the teal is a bit too light for my tastes. But that's it I swear!

Thank you, MAS. Never mind my azz, you get the SC figured out?
I appreciate the compliment...the more I see it, the more I realize that I used to avoid shooting my car from behind because I wasn't a big fan of all angles of it. That problem is gone now! And to be honest, now that I got rid of the tall spoiler, I despise it. lol.

It's not a type s though...it's a CSL rear spoiler and the ebay oembwm roof spoiler.

I hear you on the tall spoiler.....i kept wondering why you kept it so long but you had to go thru the process for yourself. The jagged raise in the lines of the car that the tall spoiler created never went well with the overall wedge shape of the car. Couple a lower and more streamlined trunk spoiler with a roof spoiler makes the rear side view "beefier" and gives it more cojones....along the lines of what an AMG package does for a Merc....subtle but noticeable.

Same goes for the exhaust. The stock exhaust tips and Stage 2 or 3 sound have good potential but still lack something that is not totally evident until you get an exhaust that addresses it. I assume you would never go back now on this either right??

Anyways that ass is looking mighty fine. I know its a CSL spoiler, i just mention a Type-S one because it is what i aspire to. The stock lip spoiler is lacks that slight agressiveness your CSL and the Type-S has. I hope to address this soon.

Now on to my S/C....going freaking great!! Highly recommend it......in fact go to the BM and call dibs on the one that just showed up right now!! YOLO. Our buddy Mastercard and Visa will handle the rest. It opens up a whole other world of DIY modding to give you things to do for years and years to come. I imagine the you have wondered how many more mods you will have to work on....this will open the flood gates and it seems to be reliable enough to do on a DD. This is tailor made for DIY guys like us because it is complex enough to stretch and challenge our abilities but simple enough so we dont screw something up.

Keep up the good work bro!!

Thank you, Morgan. I love you too, brah.

Thanks Yum. I appreciate it.

Well, I MAY be selling them, I like the slightly lighter ones I had originally made. There's one little thing I'd like to fix on these and they'll go up on the BM.

Hey man...thank you.
19x9 all around and with use of various spacers final offset is +30R/+35F, upper camber adjustment front and rear give me -.5F and -1R, factory spec. Rolled fenders and 225 tires.

thank you Steven...for all your do and your compliments.

Do you now? I agree and thank you...the CSL, once I saw it, I knew that was the only spoiler I wanted.
Thanks A Man. I got something in the works, but if it doesn't work out, honestly, I love them just fine. They look small in comparison to type S tips and all the others that fill that opening, but they're the perfect size for the base opening.
I appreciate the comments though...always keeping me thinking.

Thank very much, man.
Thanks MAS, I agree, took me a long time and it was WAY too easy to just slap the old spoiler back on (and free) to cover up the holes and the scratches. Took me a long time to commit to getting it done right and getting rid of the look. Once I did though, I immediately disliked how it looked with the trunk spoiler before.
About the exhaust, I'm with you on that, man. The rv6 true dual is absolutely awesome...still puts a big smile on my face every day when I drive.

About the supercharger...I hate you.
I have to think about marriage, different living situation soon and then after that, having a kid. I don't think I'd sink 3 to 5K into this car at this point, mainly because I'm a huge puzzy. Plus, if I put that much money into it, I'd likely get a side daily beater or even another car to build to be fast and RWD.

but then again, that's just the hater in me since I'm green with fkn envy. I bet it IS awesome.

You post up vids yet?

First off thanks for the review on the tires...I have been thinking of going that route if I get summer/winter set....for now it looks like I might be rocking the re-painted stockies until I find a good deal on a set of lightweight rims...

The new pictures looks amazing....I am very jealous of how clean your car is....In KS with pollen and 3 drops of rain, the car gets dirty very very quickly (yes, its an excuse for my laziness )....

Love the blackfire wet diamond sealant....whether you use it with a PC or just an applicator pad, it goes on very very well and comes off very easily as well...it smells great too

All in all, love the car...

I almost bought Kb1Spec's CSL trunk. I thought the price was a little steep and he had the CF colorized to match his RBP TL. If my car was blue I would have bit the bullet and bought it.

I think he still has it for sale in the $800-$900 range

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Thanks, brah...was going to text you, but figured you'd get to seeing it in due time. Hope it does help you make a decision one way or another.
Yeah, the blackfire is great, but I feel similar in results to the wolfgang. I will probably give it a go when I run out. That little ziploc sample Aaron was nice enough to loan me did my whole car and I can probably do another 2 coats down the line. Maybe the Caddy will get some too!


Thank you!

I wish you meant me and not my car...seriously.
Thanks Johnny boy...you set the bar high, I'm just a squirrel tryin to reach the bar.

Gonna have to find someone that CAN stretch them out first...OH BURNNNNNN

Dude, totally agree, he was REALLY wanting to sell me that one, but I didn't like the molded look that way, and don't like CF too much (not enough to have any part of the body of the car be CF instead of NBP...and then shipping quote was like 300...I was like, just sell me that itty bitty spoiler alone, please!

We wouldn't hang out with you anyway, you don't have NBP and you're stock.

I need to break the habit of hanging out with another NBP that looks cleaner than mine anyway. Plus, Austin always wants me to do everything for him.

Love the new pics J. You are getting better and better with the camera with each use. Love what you've done with these tails too, very nice.

Has your local dealership approached you to showcase your car a bit...? Or local car shows...?

Cuz, your car looks good enough to be featured.

Really, Yum? I have some visual defects...but no, nobody's asked although it does usually get a lot of thumbs up from the sales guys and techs that work there when I go in for service.

Funny, at the last meet, there was this car full of people...sounded like a Haitian family...the Mom was like "are these show cars?!?" I was like, no ma'am...we're just a couple of guys that mess with our cars as a hobby.

Chip Ahoy, thank you, brother...I appreciate it much. I actually want to preserve the newly modded tails for sale so I put the modded reds back on. I actually DO love how they look. I need to get the other listed on the BM.

Aaron, thanks, man...I do love the look and the BF is awesome as well. DO stop in more often, I miss you.

For sure, but you'll have to settle for 6pm and on shots...no way I'm letting you shoot my POS NBP at high noon. You'll spend ALL your time post processing to hide the swirls.

Do let me know, I'll set up a meet of some kind around it, I promise you more than 3 cars this time too.
