I wish i could have gone to HIN Miami on Dec 16, but my girlfriend graduated from college the same day..

Thats a pretty sweet spot to take pictures from.

Got any plans for aftermarket wheels?

that's cool, your shots are nice. why didn't you get a 6mt though? then you also wouldn't need to upgrade the brakes. protect the tl, i'm sure u wudn't want that toutched damn jackers need some carma on they ass.

Yes, I am ultra-annoyed by the 14-year-old girl typing style. So much so that I can't bear to read it. Nice car, next time don't let your baby sister type for you, though.

HIN was nice, only 1 TL thou (I wanted to speak to the owner but he was never there when I would walk by his car, it was white w/ some 20" Privats), There were lot's of 350z's & G35's all in all it was ok, but i've been to better...

For Wheels, I'm thinking Volk GT-S in Gunmetal



But these Time Attacks are killing me...



Especially the staggered look

I'm giving you guys a cool story, cool pics, great location and all you can focus on is how annoying my typing is???
You should be more like Malayalee King and just focus on the Doble ASs (<--- oops sorry) shot

That's ok man, Yeah the GT-C's were nice, but I don't like how they look on TLs.

That's right How did you know? Are you from around the area?

Im trying to sell my wheels now because im going to buy some 19" Volks Progressive spoke and just slam it about 2.5-3".

Oh Shit, that's cool man.
I must of stood by the car for like 30 minutes, just walking around it and looking inside and looking at the wheels (my girl, started making of fun of me after 10 minutes of just looking at the wheels and how the 20's fit on the car, I took pics but I have them on my Dash) I asked one the guys that was there if you had lowered it and he said no, but your profile says Tein HTech's.

Much props , do you have a post with more pics?

Do you know any other TL members from here in the M.I.A.?

I've seen a couple of really nice TL's around town, but I've never met any of them.

Hey man, were did you get the yellow fogs & where did you do your ps2, dvd player install... I'm guessing you can view it on your nav screen.
I'm looking to do the same soon, but I don't know where to go.
Let me know man, I need help with that.

Thanks & cool to meet another TL AZ member from S.Florida.
We should meet up one day and do a mini meet/photo shoot.

I think the GTS would be really hot, but those Time Attack would also be nice, tough decision ahead of you

Looks great - my Aspec kit is in route already........ but do you really need to remove the back bumper to install it?? (I've done it once I can do it again) but I didn't think you really had to to install>?

Hey Steve "Viva Rhode Island"

That's where I'm from man, I move down here to Miami 3+ yrs ago.
I went to Shea High in Pawtucket & lived in East Providence before moving down to South Florida.
Here's me riding on 95south thru Pawtucket I believe exit 26 in my old
2000 Civic Si (I miss you)



Anyway, yeah man you have to remove the bumper because there are 4 or 3 holes (I don't remember now) that you have to drill from the inside out so that you can screw in the lip kit...

Good luck with the install and let me know if you need help.

Thanks Bud !! Your TL looks really great with the kit - it gives me an idea of what mine will look like all installed on my ASM. I may reach out to ya or the boards when it comes time to install - it should be here tomorrow but I can't put it on for a while. 3M tape and cold weather don't mix well....LOL

Aside from that we got a little bit of snow last night so it's pretty cold up here.

As for 95 goes - you wouldn't even recognize it if you came back today - this city is changing pretty fast.

Of course it was on purpose, I actually thought about it, planned it & executed it. It actually matches my user name. Hahahahah
Be on the lookout for more pics, I might have to put a BIG WARNING on this Bad Boy.
