That's not the first time I've heard someone tell me "that's a lot of wood."

But yeah I thought that was a sweet backdrop, so I gave it a shot. No bonfires.

Steven, Steven, Steven...Seriously Steven...Do you really expect the jury to believe that you had a chance to get this and you said no?:










(Crowd goes wild with excitement - gavel banging)

Order! Order in the court I say! I know it looks good, but calm down or I will clear this courtroom! Counselor Ray, you may proceed with the witness...

(Thank you Your Honor!)

No way am I going to believe that Steven! You know what I think? I think you were coerced into that decision! C'mon Steven, we're a family here! Level with us! Do you want to end up like Brett? Rodney? Slammed? They all really believe their car color is better! But you Steven...you haven't had your car long. There is still hope for you! The first step is admitting your true feelings. Get it out Steven, it's the only way we can help. At least you KNOW NBP RULES...and knowing is half the battle...

Come to the Dark side Steven...it is your destiny!!!!
you have a lot of time on your hands dont you? lol

I'm going to be making a web page with all the photos, because I took about 40 total. Here's are a few just for fun (click to open in a new window):
OMG - I think I just wet myself............ that looks hot. Maybe some TL-S tails?
Aspec body kit?

Either way Brett I love it !!!!!Oh and that front setup looks so much better in those pics..........I liked it before and I love it now.

Dark went out to do his sidemarkers - that was about noon EST - we haven't heard from him since.

Maybe he fell into the trunk of that NBP and can't get out............?

Either that or he went out to trade in his NBP for an ASM or WDP...........LOL

Thanks, Steve. You just bumped the percentage of Acurazine members who actually appreciate my modifications from 25% to 26% Ha! It's all good, though, because I think it looks stunning in real life.

TL-S tails are definitely on the "I'm thinking about getting that" list. I'm trying to be cautious with how I spend my money, and for the time being, I'm all about making some rims happen. TL-S tails are tied in priority with A-Spec front lip; maybe a slight edge leaning toward the lip.

Ooorrrrrr, he went to work so he can pay for that NBP? LMAO!!

I did the sides and the seat memo buttons. None of that red stuff now. Check this out, I was coming back to my car at the Target, and my car was looking like a stealth bomber! Those sides really change the picture a lot! What's that? You want to see what it looks like too? Awww, geez...do I have to? Ok, be right back! Gimme about 30 minutes, I gotta eat so that I can keep having the energy to take these damn pictures! (j/k...?)

It's just a local warehouse/apple orchard. All that wood is actually the crates they use to ship or receive the apples. I thought it would make a nice backdrop. Maybe some people don't; I don't know, but it was about two minutes from my work and the weather was sweet today, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I think the contrast between the wood and the WDP (aka your dream color) looks pretty good.

FYI, that is the Martinelli's plant -- the same one that makes that sparkling cider that comes in the green bottles. The apples are grown here... and the cider is bottled here (Watsonville, California). Not sure if that stuff is sold throughout the US, but it's pretty popular in California.

Works for me, I thought it was a nice shot. Yes, I drink that every so often! Good non-alcoholic for holidays and special occassions!

I almost got the camel interior, I really liked it. I just thought that looked too luxurious and I want a sport luxury look. Plus I had the WDP before in two cars (OUCH!) Legend, and 03 TL-S and the interior was camel or tan. Hard to keep clean over time. See, another reason why NBP is best! LOL!

I gotta go wash it right now! But it isn't like you don't have to wash yours either! But yeah, you don't have the swirl look of a black hole I grant you that.

I was at work yesterday and saw this WDP go by and it looked unscathed by pollen, then this NBP went by immediately thereafter and it was like green! I was like damn! Hahahahaha! I guess you gotta pay the cost to be the boss!!

I bet NBP/ebony is HOT HOT HOT! That probably looks so smokin'! I couldn't get any color for my interior for my car other than ebony because that is by far and away the sickest interior choice for the TL in my book.

I've actualy had the itch to start modifying the seats, if you can believe that. Thinking about making them two-tone somehow. It's probably a project that'll cost way too much money, so it's only in "I think that would be cool" stage right now...totally conceptual.

I've thought about that too. I was going to do an electric blue ( that matches the gauges and LED's) Alcantara insert in the seats and the door panels- but I'm guessing that takes plenty of $$$ and that right now is not in the beer budget.

That sounds pretty slick. Where would you do the inserts? I think a photoshop is in order...

Since I'm real shi**y at PS, I'll try and cobble something together. Ideally it would be the center of the seats and where the leather is on the doors. But I will try tonite.

OK, cool, because that is what I had in mind. I just wasn't quite sure what you meant by "inserts" when you originally wrote it. Blue would be sick!
