Trust me boys, I STILL don't know how to shoot like that either! Adam is a fkn artist. I knew when I saw his last batch of rollers that he was something special. I appreciate his ability and am glad I was able to get some shots from him.

Damn, Adam! Sick shots! 
Car looks clean as hell, J.
Sorry I missed the meet, but I had a lot of fun with Tyler and we got some rolling shots of our own.

Hmmm, can't tell if serious, but thanks just in case! 
yes sir, base reds, bezel alone, 2 SOLID coats of VHT nightshades to the brake area/signal area and PD on the lower reflector.
that means a lot, man...thank you much!
I'm really looking forward to ALL your shots, man. Seriously. I missed you
I wish it was as clean as he made it look, man...she's imperfect, but she's paid, my daily that sees LOTS of highway, so it is what it is. I appreciate the comments and compliments in a major way.
that means a lot, man...thank you much!

Dude, seriously, comments like these really mean a lot to me. I never think of my car as anything special. I mean, I've done it the way I feel happy looking back at it and taking pictures of it after almost 5 years driving it, but it feels good to know others also think it looks nice.
above is for you too!
Only thing missing is that WHINE! LOL...thanks, MAS. I THINK.
Adam is the man!
ME TOO! Andy Gerzina tagged me with "POS" 
HA, if that's real, you already know him and Austin are skinny and are BOTH in that suit.
Your car puts mine to shame and you know it, sucka!

Matt, you're mean! I am a subi guy...but I loves my car! LOL...
Thanks fellas...honestly, they're supposedly a custom set of tips that are sourced BY my exhaust guy directly. I'll have to try and find out where he gets them from or set you guys up to contact him to place orders.
Steven, thank you so much!

My favorite TL for sure. I'm glad you decided to stay true to the 04 rear instead of going with a Type-S rear. Your choice of wheel is great for rolling shots, too. Love how they show the brakes clearly, and how the lug nuts form a ring.
Every time I see pics of your car, I can't think of anything I would change. Then you change something, and I say "okay, NOW I wouldn't change anything." And the cycle continues.
Photography is fantastic as well!

Thank you, DennisYou're welcome, man...I will tell you that Richie liked the look a lot. Not sure if he'll be able to source them. I might be able to also ask the guy if he's looking to order/ship the tips and I'll have you guys contact him directly.
You will likely have a fun update very soon. I think all the guests are because of that Facebook feature. Ross, mah nizzle...

worthy sentiment...thank you, Aman...I definitely appreciate it very much. It's funny, I often think about how many times I'm "DONE" and then I'm not...and then I look back and I'm like, wtf was I thinking. Honestly though, as it stands, I'm good for now...have some amber leds for the corners coming to replace the ones that kept burning out Well, if it's a chick, fine...but if that's a guy...that's pretty cold steven
Thank you sir! I use chemical guys soap...and once very 6-8 weeks I do a coat of Wolfgang Deep Paint Sealant...it's DEF not swirl free but on a daily driven car, that's a pipe dream. All I can do is try and mask the imperfections to make her look decent as a whole. Also, Adam's editing did wonders for the finish. I promise you all that in person, you'd be disappointed.
