Great pictures as usual! What's the story behind that pier? And how many miles does the TL have now?
Thanks Tyler...you were a driving force.

3 - Interior shots for me? Thanks Awesome shots
but why you no close the covers in front of the shift
4- Thought you had blue footwell lighting. White looks perfect
5- Has anyone tinted the non-nav screen? So it looks like UA7 or much cleaner???
1, LMAO
2, LED...they are some LED USR modules that he made for me, but really, they're just the 120 led bulbs I had for Betty's car.
3, I know, totally forgot to close it!
4, I did...when the dash replace debacle happened I pulled the blue...I thought it looked cheesy and I had used blue wires to run it that were obvious.
5, ain't nobody got a navi screen.

Thank you, Anil! Jeez...big compliments coming from you seasoned guys! Well, I'm sure you noticed the white is back...I'll be selling my CBI. Betty, my aesthetic director, has pointed out that the bluish white matches the pearl in the paint and all my accents on the car. That said, I have some 6K morimoto on the way.

Honestly, my car is filthy and the tires have zero tire shine from driving through so much rain all week.

Why thank you, Meko! I forget you're my flickr bud...
Funny, this shot is a little too bright for my taste, but I did like the angle.
Thank you!

On a better note, I got the 56" Samsung! WOOOOT!!!!!

Thank you, Anil...yeah, I figured you noticed! I'll have the all 6000K front end soon enough, didn't realize how much I missed it till it was gone.

klene: thank you! I appreciate the feedback!

twigg: lost the Nikon in the divorce? does she even know how to use it!?!? Yeah, I sold my 30D Canon and switched over to a D7000 Nikon with 18-105MM lens and a 35MM F1.8 So far, zero regrets! Turns out the polarizer wasn't a good thing to use in such low light last night. Probably why I ended up with barely any usable pictures. I'll keep messing around with em! Yeah, CSL is NBP...my buddy put a LOT of work into it, TWICE! And still...from the top it's a bit wavy but overall I'm very happy with it.

You know I was downstairs in my fabbed up paint booth, with NBP and everything left over, staring at my stock gauge cover...I was super close to NBPing it and seeing if I like it. But decided I had enough on my plate already.

HAHAHA - I actually have to admit that she takes pretty good pictures. Maybe I should start a thread titled... Twigg's Ex Wifey Picture Thread! OR, NOT!!!!!!

I was looking at a D7000 not that long ago. Camera looks awesome for a pretty reasonable price.

Sweet pics J, as always. I love the contrast these Advans are giving you, just enough. I didn't realize how much I would like that color against black until I saw this and Q's Vossens, both look great.

Thanks, Kurt...I'm very happy with it too...it still looks dark, but doesn't get totally lost with being all black on black. Betty (wife) said she liked both sets of rims initially...she's the one that greenlighted these. After seeing my car rolling on the highway though, first thing she said was she loved these more on my car. I need to see some cool video of them rolling!

Thought I would post this almost TWINNING photo!




However, yours is much clearer. When I took this I was messing around with the Nikkor 50mm 1.8.

I actually sold the 50mm with my canon and replaced it with the 35MM F1.8! I felt like I had to stand back too far to use it! AMAZINGLY Crisp shots though.

Rated R is fine...X could work too, if need be

It seems like I mounted mine a little more vertically, right? I actually had to have the trunk repainted twice, but both times the natural curve sat like that. I love yours too, btw.

You definitely have to stand back to far with the 50mm. And I didn't notice before but yes, yours is more vertical. I wish mine was... At one point I thought about having it shaved down a bit so it could sit more flat but I thought better and changed my mind. These things are like gold and didn't want to fuck it up.

You must use a capital letter when starting a sentence-even on AcuraZine!



And don't forget the apostrophe in "don't"......
