Great cars man. Do it BIG! The TL is gonna look sick man. You gave me some ideas about getting my motor back up in tip-top shape, so thanks for that. I'm excited to see the results if the new lights and the drop kit. Let me know how that goes, I'm also considering dropping mine just and 1.5" or so. Take care, and make it happen!
yeah that's gonna come out well...looking forward to seeing the final result.

must've missed you. everyone was scattered around...the meet was a little unorganized but i guess that's to be expected with so many cars.
brutal. that sucks man. reminds me of the time i drove back from NC to MD in torrential down pours. took me 9 hours when it should have took 6.
thanks for the pic! came out good!
brady was having a miserable time. we had to leave early bc he couldn't take the heat...but the weather was perfect for a car meet.
here are a few more pics.
us arriving at the gate
this one came out really well IMO
all in all it was a great meet. i wish i had more time to walk around and look at cars...next time i'll leave the dog at home. i felt like i was on a leash the whole time just like him.
oh yeah, after a couple of hours...the people running the show started turning cars away and they wouldn't let anybody in (even though they had PLENTY of parking available)...so people got creative.
check it out.

yeah i'm tucking about 1/2" tire...finally found that sweet spot where i don't rub and it still looks good.
the bridge drive was really stupid. i couldn't believe they were doing that. at least 20 cars came across that bridge when i was there.
i'll catch you at the next one!

BTW, I was all set to paint my calipers and use that decal this weekend but I had to put it on hold. It was just too cold outside (low 40s) to paint.

Hah, I just got the second set of decals the guy sent me because the first ones took so long to get here. He sent 6. I now have 8. LOL
Highly recommend Sharks ebay decal contact.

thanks, mr. bell. i had nowhere else to put him! besides...i think he got more attention than my car did that day.
alright, (flame suit strapped on) i'm going to be the guinea pig for these and i'll be doing the mod this weekend. i got the rear caliper covers, and i'll be sanding them down like i did with my front brembos, and repainting them lexus starfire pearl to match the fronts.
got them yesterday...they are total pieces of shit BUT after i'm done with them, i think they will look sharp and compliment the fronts very well.

CF pattern is OK at best. either way, they're getting repainted and the CF one was the only kind i could find online for cheap.

funny you ask.
the original 7.5" ones he was selling would not fit over the rear calipers on our 3G TL's so he upgraded me to the 9's and they're the exact same size as the fronts...which i like. they'll stand out more and not get lost.

Well I guess that's cool they match in size. Although they are a different style. And correct me if I'm wrong but aren't most if not all brembos in the rear smaller then the brembos in the front? 6/4, 4/2, etc?
Anyways, I'm sure you will make them look good.

^yeah i think you're right for the most part. although some cars have similar sizes up front and out back.
only one way to find out tho! i'm anxious to get it done.
