you asked for shitty pics, here ya go!

didn't get to borrow amber's phone...so i snapped a few with mine this morning. the angel eyes look all blown out, when in reality they're individual LED's that make up the entire ring/circle. i'll try and show that with a better camera this week.

same with the LED strip, they are actually very small LED's, not large and blurry like the pic shows.

had some free time yesterday so i went ahead and washed the TL and did one pass with BFWD paint sealant. also did the key hole delete mod finally, and removed roof spoiler and re-installed (it was starting to come loose on one side).

warm weather is right around the corner so stay tuned for some serious mods this spring/summer.

sorry for the crap iphone pics.

I'm so far behind, had to go back a few pages. I didn't know you repainted your car, Aaron. Badass. Everytime I'd see your avi I thought it was me whenever I thought the car was purple. An amazing car btw!
