Damn, your photos always come out so amazing Eric. Anyone of them could easily be my desktop. Can't wait to see all the ricer mods!

And seriously put something under those c-clamps so they don't scratch the cage.

Thanks! If you ever get one you will start noticing them on cars around town. Sometimes i think it's too much, but for now I'm liking it.

Thanks Sean! haha the ricer mods have been fun the last 2 weeks. I feel like i'm addicting to that wraptivo for sure.

I had considered wrapping the bar with some tape. Maybe i should do that, or a piece of rubber.

They keep building stuff around where I live. It's fuckin awesome. Found a brand new deck and went trigger happy.


















If you look at the small loading dock. I'm trying to find an elevated piece of pavement like that where I can get a car on the elevated part and one down below on the ground level. I think it would be a cool shot.

Would it fit to your TL though?
I mean his TL looks like a rally car, that's why spoiler matches perfectly.

Is there pic of what spoiler you thinking to your TL?

If it's not something metal or that you could see the bolts kind of, than it would look good I belive.

Like exactly bigger version of our wing spoiler. Painted
Because as I remember your TL is like all black right. It somewhere between normal TL and that rally one. It might look good

My thoughts...

In 1998 Alfa Roemo 156 had this optional wing at the dealer.
It looked good because layers were not thick like STI's.
It's thin and simple, but big. Just like what you want





But this car has round edges, so wing being round on the edges matched it.
To TL we need sharp edges.



Just like that side of our wing...
