awesome thank you
IYO what type bulb would be best for these fogs to match the stock headlights?

 

Stock? 4300...no way around it.
I have CBI and my 5000 ebay bulbs match pretty well.

Thanks boys...
so after being rushed out of that spot for a shot in the S2000 the other day due to it being a 1 lane exit from that development. I went back with the TL yesterday, my 35MM prime and some nice dark clouds rolling in.

love the shot from the back bruhh....

she got dat bootayyy !!

 

Thanks, Anil. She's still beautiful in my eyes. Honestly, I just keep shooting/sharing to practice different techniques and backdrops...I know she's had her share of the spotlight. Retiring her jersey!

 

Where was this? I like the location a lot.

 

Thanks Austin...it's the development down that dead end road past my place...it's where my landlord lives now.

 

Oh sweet, nice and close! There's a road similar to that on Palm Beach, trees overhanging and a little curve to it, nice to drive through.

 

Yeah, save for the 4 speed humps on the way down to the far end

 

she still looks hella fine...no need to retire that jersey dude...

 

Thanks, man...
I guess it's hard to get to a point of being "done". I think that a lot of people change wheels constantly because of that...I'm sure people pop in and think...MEH, MORE OF THE SAME.

 

Pics look amazing! What paint did you use to paint the brembo? and did you wrap the grill in gloss vinyl wrap?

 

Thanks, man.

Grill is professionally painted NBP by our very own member "Wacker"
Brembo's color was stolen from ebelp...it's high temp silver as a base (from previous color I had done) then Satin Lagoon regular paint from home depot, apply the decal and about 6 coats of clear. The high temp base is the biggest thing...and I did teal at least a year and a half ago, probably...so it's holding up well.

 

Love all those new shots....

 

This car is looking stealthy and sexy and sporty. I just made that up.

 

You're a poet and you didn't even know it!
Thanks, man...very much.

 

Rockstar, have any of your wheel purchases been from a private party out of state?

I may be purchasing soon so Im trying to get some info to stay safe.

 

Hey Jon...
Yep both wheels for the TL were, actually.
The works were from a member on here from NJ or something and the Advan were from wheel flip.com from Chicago.

Best advice, pay the full on paypal fee, even if you have to swallow the entire 3% cost. To know they will show up and be okay'd by you before funds are gone and released to some strange man in a foreign place is worth the peace of mind.

 

So if I get this right I pay the paypal fee mentioned and the funds wont actually be available to the seller until I receive and accept the package? That sounds plausable.
I found some nice 2 piece forged wheels on wheelflip that I really want from washington. Im in SoCal.

 

Yes sir...for major purchases (even if you're ever the seller) you'll see they will show "pending" status and the person that receives the goods has a certain amount of time to complain or say they haven't arrived etc...shipping must be provided.

I'm going off of memory, and I'm sure some rules change over time but that's the gist. It's truly meant to protect YOU AND the SELLER.

 

Thanks you!

Looks like the Algernons sold already. Search continues.

 

I totally agree with Jeremy...

when I was buying the Wedsports, they were going to be shipped from Houston...I asked our resident H-town crabby to check them out if he could....sure enough, he didnt ....so I called paypal and asked them about buyer protection....they said "you are protected"

I wanted to be specific and asked them "what if I pay using my CC (using paypal), the funds clear my bank and into the sellers bank, he ships me rocks, he cancels his paypal account, am I still protected"...they mentioned "YES, even if the use cancels, paypal will protect ya"....

That was assuring so I went ahead and paid for the wheels....

the only advice I can give you is make sure you pay using your CC on paypal and not your bank account....that way if PAYPAL says "ohh its been more than 30 days" or some other BS, you can still dispute the charge on your CC

 

Nice shots man looks like prefect timing with those clouds.

 

Thank you sir. Good info there.

Sadly the dude sold his Algernons.

But I have found a local set of Work VSMX in gold I like. Id refinish them probably. Going for 1.4g
Or some flawless work equips dipped chrome for 2g. Seller wants to relip them from 7.5 to 8.5 in order to get me to pay the full 2g.

The vs aren't flawless but 600 cheaper. The equips are half an inch wider though... decisions decisions. Both local sellers. Yessss.

 

test fit!

 

you mean re-barrel the wheel to make it wider?

I would stay away from that...i could deal with it if I was getting it done but the seller is selling a wheel and re-barelling them for a sale, am not too sure he will be concerned on how well the job is gonna get done...

 

No, probably a 3 piece wheel and he's putting bigger lips on. Not that complicated to do.

But you're clearly the expert on everything

 

 

Good advice from J, for sure.

 

My favorite Steven.

 

very nice sir
I hate you dude the more i look at your car the sooner i want to finish my car lol

 

but yes, on a 3 piece wheel it is not too complex, but I still think he was saying relip for a wider wheel and not a bigger lip...he also mentioned the other set was 1/2 inch wider (guessing that is 9" and this will be re-barrelled from 7.5 to 8.5" width)...

so yes, your above comment about being an expert on everything is correct

 

Damn...even an expert on white text. How do you expect me to compete with that.
From my understanding, you can bolt up a step lip that adds width. I could be wrong though...either way, I think those rebuilds are intensely crazy costly.

JLPTL, what is this "finished" you speak of?
Thank you, man. Mine is far from perfect, but I appreciate people liking how she looks. My old girl...

 

Watch out, quoting pictures on the same page will get you banned.

 

and you could very well be right sir...forgot about step lips...

 

No problem dude she looks great! Well i just want to do some simple clean mod's to my TL:
just aspec lip kit, inspire fogs, suspension, and rims This car is going to be my luxury car lol since im already getting my show car hopfully by the end of this summer

thank you!

 

I'll tell you what...you already started off better with your car color...
less is more, man...light drop, aspec, spacers...enjoy her in good health!
