Damn...I'm a moron, I just realized who you are after interacting with you on the slammed thread. I'm getting old, or I've been on here too long.

Bro, looks fucking amazing...for serious.
Best shot of the red stripes I've ever seen.

Haha not a problem man! Thanks for the compliments I appreciate it, I've put a lot of thought into this car. I'm not sure if you realized this but those red stripes are from you dude! I got them from you on the BM. You have a bunch of really nice shots that got me into the red stripes to begin with.

Thank you, I wanted a 5-spoke to kind of keep that stock look. But I love the blacked out look. They aren't the most expensive/popular set but they were pretty much the exact look I was going for, some more concavity would be good though.:roll eyes:

One more Reaper shot

LOL...yes, of course...we have been going back and forth on PM and you bought them, funny, when I saw your username in that other thread I was like, that looks familiar. Then I saw this thread and saw that you gave me a shout and realized it was the set I sold you.
For a guy that didn't want to be in the tail light making business, there sure are a lot of sets I've made floating around out there.

They are 3.5 inch gloss black from assured automotive. They are massive I was concerned when I got them because I knew fitment would be tight, cutting off the rear muffler did the trick haha Thanks she gets plenty of wax

You da man J, again I appreciate all the help. Blown away every time I check your updates, really awesome work

Quick update:
ITS SNOWING IN THE NORTHEAST


This has been the state of my car for the past few weeks. Pretty brutal up here, luckily I have a work truck so the TL hasn't seen the road much recently.

Recent Mods/Changes:
- Replaced alternator, think the cold weather killed it, lasted 10 years I'd say I got my money's worth
- Independent fog mod for the headlights
- NRG Torque Damper
- Hybrid Racing shifter bushings

My car feels completely different with the new bushings and torque damper, the car feels a lot smoother and effortless when shifting. Still debating whether to do the check valve delete mod...
Also looking to install the eBay rear caliper covers I had painted a while back, anyone have a solid way to attach them? Don't want them flying off in the middle of the LIE.

Dreaming of spring

^^^^ Dude, I don't blame you! California is too expensive, but I don't blame you for wanting out.....


I've become just a big crybaby about Winter. I was tired of the cold and snow. We really had a very mild Winter here in Kansas City. It snowed three times this year. Each time was only about 2 inches of snow.

But you can't drive a Stingray in 2 inches of snow, nor the extreme cold either. We have turned the corner here in KC. Friday was 50 degrees. Saturday and Sunday (today) were about 60 degrees. We'll be in the 70's on Wednesday and Thursday. That won't last but those 2 days. But I think we're in the clear.....

2 inches?!? Thats nothing!! But for the vette its impossible. NY hasn't had it as bad as Mass and up north. This weather really takes a toll on your car though. I think we are turning the corner as well, all week will be in the 40s and 50s I just want to be able to wash and wax my car once a week without wearing 15 layers haha.

TL Cameo

Saw a preview for this movie the other day, after the Acura reference I had to check it out...The movie is called 'Oliver, Stoned'. It looks pretty bad but the TL cameo in the very beginning of the movie is worth it. If you can't tell by the pictures this guy is baking out a customer's TL and takes it to the car wash with the sunroof open

Now I'm wondering what other movies the TL has appeared in? Is there a thread on this topic already...
