Funny you say that and "paint" your parts black.. Looks good but I wouldn't of taken the cheap route. Maybe get a CF hood and paint that white?

I said cheap route because you could of found better alternatives than to use black paint. You obviously couldn't afford a professional painter to match, lmao.
Whats funny is your "Spoon" TL. You're in NC so I don't expect much from there. Your half assed paint job is Comedy Central material!

19x8.5 with a +32et


Not sure if it will fit though. Some guys on the forum say it might rub, but need to roll fenders out if i want them to fit.

How much did that versus bumper cost you and where did you order? Sooooo tempting.

32 offset is pushing it close...but im sure you can make it work. Ordered the bumper off www.versusmotorsport.com ...think it was around $400 shipped if i remember correctly. You should do it...not too many people have this bumper.

Hmm, I hope I could. I'd be the only TL with BBS LMz on my shiettttttttt. Why is it that the paint is different on your bumper then your body though? The Versus FB is tempting though............ But I don't wanna jock anybody elseeeeee lol.

BBS LMs are ballin son!! The paint mismatch is because the painter sprayed the bumper without anything to match it with. It doesn't really bother me too much, but in time it will be repainted because there are a thousand or so tiny rock chips. And if you do decide to get the versus bumper, you will be the third white TL that i know of with it...there is another guy in the midwest that doesnt post but he lurks....saw pictures of it a few months ago.

I can careless what your interior or engine bay looks like. I'm talking about your exterior. All nicely done cars/bikes have gone through some extreme to get things done, in order to stand out. Have you tried calling company's about placing special orders on lips/trunks? You may even gain more sponsors this way. I know of a guy that got customized JE pistons for his GSX-R600. Its all in the dedication, hard work, and creativity. Don't take shortcuts by slabbing on some paint.

Eric-just drop him like a bad habit! He obviously has never seen your car and wouldn't be saying what he is if he did. You're #1 on here-nuff said.

MOD should just delete his posts and give him a stern warning, and he can go back to the Yugo forums!

I have had my fair share of run-ins with immature TL owners. Owners that would come find threads of mine and then start talking trash.

One in particular was mad because he wanted to buy my old AEM intake but I ripped the sticker off the tube. The filter still said AEM on it and I had the packaging and instructions for it but he was like how do I know it's not some ebay knock-off just because the sticker was missing on the piping. Then he wanted to pay me like $50 or something substantially lower than what I was asking for it and ship it to him. I mentioned I don't have time to play games with him all via PM's. I finally just said look if you want it this is the price otherwise leave me alone. I ended up selling it to a member in Florida with no problems and this ass got mad. So he went bumping my threads talking shit.

Unfortunately this is the only place I have really experienced this kinda behavior from members. Think it has to do a lot to do with kids these days being spoiled more so than in the past. But, that's just my



woohoo I just his 1,500 posts with this... lol

You wouldn't be wrong about that...

Congrats! Not bad for someone who doesn't have a TL (anymore) . How's the RSX treating you these days? The last pics I saw, it looked like you had done a good bit to it.

Ah... yeah. The RSX/DC5 is great even though it spends most of it's life in the garage. I am taking it tomorrow to a dyno day. See what kinda numbers I can squeeze outta that bitch before I put a race header on it.
