Honestly, I know what you're saying (with the amber in the headlights). But still......

Jeremy, nice pickup on the exhaust. Are those the same tips that Cory had on his car? When we saw his car at the meet, they looked a tad on the small side with the Type S bumper. He said it was one of the first batches so they were all like that for a while. Which exhaust did he end up switching to? His car sounded teh seks when we saw it.

J I was looking back at some messages from my brother who lives by you, thought he had sent me a pic of your car but I showed Tyler and he said it was not. Looked just like it though all black/black wheels and a similar styled plate. No lip though is what he said.

Hey Tyler...I've seen another black on black TL, locally, but he's got a polished lip. I have NOT seen any other 3G Tl's around me that have an all spoke wheel and all black on black. Remember I've had the spoiler, no spoiler...red tails, type s tails, ghost tails, smoked tails...

Maybe it was me!?

McCollins! Yes sir...I bought it off of Cory. I agree, the tips are super small for the type S opening...but I had been looking at exhausts and didn't really want to have to go with a type s lip/bumper since I like how the 04 aspec all lines up and matches. I don't want to start mixing and matching. My plan is to rock the base quads (no worse than the people having the dual quad tips welded on...then if/when Richie makes a dedicated base tip (which he's said he will) I'll probably buy that and have it welded on. Cory is eyeballing the ATLP V2 exhast! He's such a nice guy...thanks for writing that though, I'm really looking forward to hearing this thing.

J.

You tell me then, the plate is different, and like Tyler said, no lip etc. But it looks a lot like yours lol.

LOL...definitely not, Ty. Although I ALMOST got a heat plate, but felt it was too bandwagonish. Plus, I love my converted Swiss Flag "American Red Cross" tag.

J.

Plus, no visors, not much of a drop, smaller wheels (or stockies painted black) Looks like I95 near downtown.

Yeah I went back and checked your plate vs that one. No match. Oh well. I told him to keep an eye out for a black on black TL making lots of noise

So, had a few feet of wrap left and decided to use it on the other side of the joint. The main problem was that since I couldn't gauge how much I needed on the portion I wrapped Monday, I had to guess and cut since I had to pass the entire thread between pipes EVERY single wrap. Took me quite a while...

Anyway, here's the end result.

And this came in from Amazon for $60 shipped...and let me tell you, this thing moves some SERIOUS air...plan to use it as a directional fan to keep me cool while doing car work. I had a box fan before but it really wasn't any good unless it was 2 feet from me and would only hit my legs.

To be entirely honest...that's generally my goal. Make people smile, and the like. Glad it works!

Was secretly hoping you wouldn't be mad that I posted your full government name.

Italiano, it's the new millenium...you can be open about this. It saddens me to know you still have to hide how you feel in public.

Anil, that's cause you tried to barter 5 cows, 6 domed decalz, 5 hand carwashes and 9 hand jobs for one of your rolls!

Thanks though, Aaron, I have to say that I'm really happy with it thus far. I promise you all some sound clips...inside car and even some driveby clips.

Austin...Betty's pie isn't up for grabs (so to speak). But gummy worms are always welcome.

is that what he told you?

he told me he doesnt have $65 to pay for the rolls and ties...even thow he promised he would buy the rolls....i should have known better and not gotten my $$$ stuck....

so when he said he doesnt have the monies, i told me to give me a DomedDecal (even thow I had no interest in that item) and $25...tried to make it better for him and he agreed to that, but still nothing....

either way, guess no more making deals with people like him (sorry it sounds bitter but when you have your money stuck, you tend to learn)....again am not blaming him, its my fault....

btw what wrap did ya use? is it the titanium one or did you just go with the regular one....meant to ask you this before....none the less, great wrap job....its not even funny how tough it can be to wrap when 2 pipes are so close to each other
