Austin Mad...
cause he wasn't mentioned in reference to having a nice car.
Don't rage quit life, bro.

 

I know I have a nice car.

 

Edit: You know Aaron has a nice car.

 

Great stuff SB!

On the side note, did you ever tackle them halos?

 

no...not yet.

it is important to me to get them working tho, i will get it taken care of one day.

had a huge mod session this past weekend, here is what i did.

 

Dat new fender liner clearance. I'd like to see a pic from inside the wheel well to see how it looks under there.

 

looks good Aaron, some pretty major surgery there, huh?

 

haha not much to see. as you can see in the pics, i just cut off the section that is folded over. started at the front bumper/fender area and worked my way back with a dremel about 3/4 back then stopped. no reason to cut more than you need to.

yeah took all of 5 mins. i had to do SOMETHING yesterday since the original mod plan went out the window.

 

Still no new pictures of the paint?

 

^dude its been nothing but overcast and foggy/rainy here for weeks. seriously.

 

Pwease

 

Don'tcompromisemytriptothemidatlanticmeetbynotprov iding10beautifulphotosofyourtlwithin24hoursofthisp ostkthx.

Yeah it's been murky here too lately. Looking forward to more pics!

 

thought you guys might like to see the paint process. (keep in mind these are all iphone pics with poor lighting, but i thought it was cool seeing the car taken apart and put back together)...will try and get some HQ pics in direct sunlight here soon. honestly, there have been no good days...been very gloomy around here recently.

also this weekend i'll be installing a shock and tilt sensor, and a new sunroof. might even take apart my headlights if i have the time. i really want to figure out this halo (angel eye) issue.

 

Very cool Aaron! I hope one day my car can get a fresh coat of paint.

 

^^^ ditto....

it came out awesome though

we still need some nice pix

 

Great job, can't wait to see it in person.

 

Fixed.

 

Thanks for sharing (again) it was cool to see the pics.

 

Well done Aaron. Anxious to see more.

 

There's not a lot of aftermarket wheels that look better than stock on the TL, you have made me want new wheels.

 

painted with the handles on?? Gotta be some dry spray behind those, right?

 

Can't wait 2 see the prpl TL at the grt falls meet

 

i can send the vultures down to NC if you'd like...just lemme know!

thanks, anil. i'll get some more pics soon...just need to find the time and a sunny day.





will do, mr. bell.

thanks man. i knew i wanted the f14's the moment i saw them.

idk maybe.

hey same to you mike, it's been a long time.

replaced my sunroof over the weekend and installed the shock and tilt sensor. didn't really get a chance to test out the sensors as it was getting late...but everything is wired up. i'll go back in and adjust the sensitivity and make sure its mounted in a good spot etc.

 

More pictures you dick tease!

 

WOW did the vultures mess up your sunroof as well?

any reason why the body shop didnt replace it? or did u wanna do it yourself?

 

^yeah i mean it was only 4 torx screws holding it on. i didn't get the sunroof until after i got my car out of the shop.

 

^^^ Makes sense...plus DIY saves a ton of $$$....the body shop charges you an arm and a leg for labor...

 

Aaron, what did you end up doing about the rear windshield weather strip?

 

exactly. i ended up getting this sunroof glass from Bruce for a good price too.

you can't really see the damage when the trunk is closed so i'm not really worried about it. at some point i'll straighten everything out with some new stripping...but it doesn't leak or anything so no biggie. merely a flesh wound.

 

nice.... gotta love deals

 

Hey...for all the damage you sustained, a non visible weatherstripping is the least of your worries. At the end of the day, you made out like a bandit. You should be thanking those vultures! or at the very least put some roadkill on someone ELSE's Car for them to peck at this time...

 

No new pics. OP FAIL.

 

yes you do.



why don't you drag your old ass out to the great falls meet next month? see it in person.

 

^^^^

I'm hoping to do that.

Don't mind me....my Progress thread is non-existent and if I had one it would only be to update the mileage and number of rock chips.

 

^cool man...the list looks pretty good so far. should be a nice turnout for sure.

hope you can make it!

 

I love that paint job you acquired.

 

love the paint job, you going to keep the wheels that color?

 

Aaron, I hope the sunroof install goes smoothly for you.

 

I don't. I hope it shatters into a million pieces since you have yet to post more pictures.








































I hope it goes well. I look forward to seeing the car in person next month!

 

Looks great!!! I am really liking the color.
