Okey Guys... Wheels came in early May... Been doing other stuff and planning the fitment... If y'all know me... I plan everything out to the tee... so I wouldn't do anything if I didn't have a good plan to execute to my standards.

In Late February 2009, I decide what direction I was going to Mod the TL this year. I figured I was going to do my attempt at a "VIP Styled" build. I knew that it was going to take a while to finish and I didn't think it was going to get completed. It still isn't to my satisfaction, but I am going to get it to a TEMPORARY STATE by the end of NEXT week...

I ordered my wheels in March with some crazy widths and OFFSETS... with the idea that I'm going to MAKE the CAR FIT THE WHEELS ...

Y'all already know that I'm on AIR... and the follwoing pictures where taken with the suspension at 5psi .... so the weight of the car is resting on the tires... The poke is CRAZY...

TPMS Strapped on the Barrel...

Stay TUNED... Next week we'll have the completed (temporary) Product

damn Rodney gonna be sick. After seeing how low the car sits on air i wish my wheel selection went harder. Can i guess at what wheels you have? Knowing your taste Rodney JP Scara's

rodneyc77

iTrader: (1)

Thank man... I knew months ago that I had to do a lot of work to make my wheel selection work...

No, the wheels aren't JP Scara cause I'm not feeling that 5 Spoke design... I'm thinking of revealing the wheels tomorrow because I've gotten too many PMs asking...

wrxyboy

iTrader: (2)

I smashed both sites simultaneously... Those dudes over there are crazy... much more critical than the people here... reasons why I never posted there before... I knew that I had to come correct to get respect there... I've had this same thread poste don TSV for over a month... I'm surprised no one leaked them over here...

What's your screen name on VSC???

According to them... I have "Swagger" fitment...

I've been communicating with you for months kid... what's your name???

Thanks for the support kid... you've really helped me out along the way I really appreciate that.

I've never really had such a huge teaser like this... it's kinda fun...



Yo Dre... what's good??? You've been real low key lately... Once my car is finished... I'm going to holla at you so we can post up on 125th...

GSoup

I'm gonna snitch... i know what wheels he has and I've seen the car at the shop. LMAOOOOOO. So if you want to know PM me for my paypal account, so you can send me a donation and I will email you snitch photos.

keep doing your thing ROD... even thought I saw it in the "construction" phase, it's sick!!!

THINK GOTHAM!!!

GSoup

okay.. i gotta hit people on the head. Rodney your gonna hate me but you know it's nothing but brotherly love.

Thanks... now send me the rest of the pictures you took... I know you got more... Let me post the rest...

wrxyboy

iTrader: (2)

Thanks Rod and you have helped me alot on my ride as well. I can help you with the ride height sensors placement for the rear since i did finish that in the past two days. I placed my sensors on the frame behind the strut assembly and welded the little bracket to the rsb. I should have the fronts done by end of the weekend.

"can't chill
the streets is watching you, when you froze your arms
Dudes wanna test you and your car goes warm.
Can't get caught with your feet up, gotta keep your heat up
Sweet dudes running 'round swearing sh*t is the sweeter
Once you're tagged lame the game is follow the leader
Everybody want a piece of your scrilla, so you gotta keep it realer."


ROD you know the streets of NY are always watching.

rodneyc77

iTrader: (1)

sT04Louis... I can't wait either...

Hah you beat me too it!!! Great work can't wait to see final product

i dont have an account at vsc, just a LONNGG time lurker

i must say, this build is getting me jealous, and seriously reprioritizing my mods. the wheels i ordered that arent even here yet might be up for sale soon

Trew

iTrader: (1)

Hahaha this is hilarious! Rodney they stole your thunder, bro... It's all good. It's your idea, money and car. You will ultimately reap the benefits of far greater achievement

I see you're going all out including a molded lip kit. That's gonna put you in Wild or Extreme for sure. Doesn't matter though. You will always have my vote... and I'm sure I speak for many.

Good luck with the buildout

GSoup

Rod knows I didn't steal his thunder. We're from the same fam and rolling together. It's just I think I'm more excited than him about his build. HAhahaaa.

Hmmm should i post the other pictures???

rodneyc77

iTrader: (1)

I don't care for Trofies... All they do is become door stoppers or my son displays them as his "Piston Cups"... My goal is to have a clean car that I'm happy with and to the naked eye people think it's stock (if they don't know any better)...


Here is MY damn THUNDER SNITCHES... Side shot... I BEAT YOU TO IT SOUP... hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa



Yo TREW... your car is ringing BELLS across Forum LINES...

chill_dog

^You think you're slick . How about posting the unedited version?

rodneyc77

iTrader: (1)

.... is that edited??? I think it's just the lighting wasn't right in that shop...

You guys don't want to see the wheels... right??? Those wheels look just like the stockies... just with a machined face

jguerra23

For those of you who want to see Rodneys new Shoes

flip_side

iTrader: (6)

at least they're flat faced

chill_dog

Taken with a cell phone, too, right? If that's how you're going to be...

Wrong. Even if they were chrome with spinners and LEDs we'd want to see them. Now if they were that, I can't claim you'd get a lot of love, but we'd still want to at least see them .

since it's TGIF.... I'll leave y'all with this....
