If you were that good at PS then you would have fixed the scuff on your front lip before posting pictures

Aaron, you probably went from having to worry about too dark or light in pictures to having to worry about capturing the actual shade of purple it is. I know it was like that with my BOM...looked different in every picture. I even have that problem with my caliper color...sometimes they look green, sometimes teal.

Aaron doesn't worry about pictures of his car anymore. He has some girl take pictures for him and then put her name all over them.

Yeah, he'd like everyone to think he doesn't care much about his car but in reality, it's just taking pictures of it isn't a big priority for him. He wouldn't try and convert her to a garage queen if he didn't care.

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.
Hmm...I'm surprised. Or even a local car parts shop...or even a detailing shop.

My CL-S was briefly showcased back in 2002 for a few months by a local tinting/detailing shop that helped install my Versus kit and a custom grille. They asked if I would use their licence plate frame and also allow them to take pictures of my car and show customers of what they can do (mounting custom bodykits).



Seriously, my CL-S wasn't that great looking and I think your work on your TL is way better.

Steve, how is a guy your age still playing Forza?

Yum... Seriously, thank you. Honestly, it's probably not my car, it's probably the fact that I'm a prick that turns people off.

Thank very much, fellas...thank you, yeah, the modded reds have grown on me more than I would have ever expected!

Drove the car for work this week...200 miles today, averaging 28mpg. I love you, TL.

Baby blue, Teal...same thing, baby!

I think it would look great on your car, Manny Fresh.

Small work road trip up to Melbourne, FL. Got paid mileage and got around 28 mpg on the highway, not bad for my old girl.

Took my DSLR and shot some pictures at random cool spots.

It's shadows, man...I'm telling you!
Thanks Zach/Anil for the comments and

Look at this one closely...this was after 250 highway miles, trust me, the car was looking dirty as fk...maybe just dirty to ME because I generally keep it pretty and shiny.
