Would have liked to have had the quad tips on my car, but, c'est la vie. jcn2000, that is a beautiful piece of work you've got there. Might I suggest some chrome bulbs to eliminate that orange glob (or egg yolk) look from your front and rear turn signals? Or not.

Compared to this, it looks gangly and ill fitting

Love the car, my favorite WDP for sure. The one thing I would do next is get your headlights done to color match your wheels and trim. That would look amazing. Either way superb job.

He's asked me to do this project for him, as well as the tails. Going to be beautiful

4G Game Over!

If Marcus comes together with the ATLP project I think the quads will complement the rear of this car perfect. It's just the look I'm after. I'm holding out, but growing impatient. I know ATLP used to sell the mufflers only... maybe Marcus will do the same and I can do something custom.

As for everything else I have planned. As I've said before headlight and tails will be done. But I'm on the hunt for projectors. Specifically, a hybrid setup... which hasn't been done on here before but is small enough to fit in the OEM housing and has an aggressive of enough foreground limiter as the OEM to prevent any issues... I wont say anything more than that for now. Hopefully, this will pan out...

Hey great loooking car!!! Im pretty new here, and hopefully ill be able to post some pics soon as well!! I think you've sold me into getting an RJ Grill for my WDP as well!!!

arahim32

SwirvsTL

JNC...I sweat the hell out of your car!! I am a new 10 TL owner, I've looked long and hard for a White SH but couldn't find one, I love the color and the tasteful upgrades. Hands down beautiful.

I saw your car at Night Under Fire this weekend. The whole car flows so nice, and those wheels are sickk. It gave me a lot more motivation to save up and hopfully get a 4th gen of my own. What did your best run end up being and how far did you get? All three of my buddies were out in the first round so I didn't get to see any of your runs besides the first one durring the day, which it didn't look like you got a very good jump on. I did snap a couple of pics and took a vid of that first run if your interested. Not sure how any of it turned out yet though. Any who, just thought I would give you some props and it was good seeing a 4th gen putting in some work on the track .

Car would not launch for anything (at first ... First one sucked, Second time trial was better, but still not perfect. I'll be out at Quaker Raceway soon. I appreciate the support man! Considering the first run was my first ever with the AWD, and at Norwalk I was quite disappointed... I wish I had my camera. It was a learning experience to say the least.

I red lighted both time trials, but after I got into the brackets I was golden.

FTR, the left lane was much sticker and moving faster than the right lane. In each of my runs I was consecutively able to shave a full second off of my ETAs and trap speed with my best coming in my final run.

I don't want to give out numbers yet.. trying to keep a log for myself, then put everything together in the end after I have the "build" complete.

^ please.share.numbers =)

i've been dying to see some real legit times, on a non-stock 4G

you are 5AT, correct?

jnc2000

I didn't want this to get out so soon... That's what I get for go to Night Under Fire I guess.. I'll post something soon I promise

And yes I'm a 5AT

VortexBlueTSX

Looking good, part of me wishes i got the bigger TL!

that is one gorgeous 4G TL!!

i'm sure you are into it quite a bit though.... as I always say, "It's expensive to be cool!"

jnc2000

I'm in the MA all weekend at the CanAm meet new pictures and videos soon.

Car looks stunning! Only issue I see is the stock color of the rear trim piece. Anyone with an RJ front grille should be compelled to paint the rear trim body color.

Spodenki

Looks great... any fitting issues with the RJ grill?

jnc2000

I had a really good body shop that I trust paint, and install the grill. I bought it prepped / primed and let him take care of it from there. After it's all said in done fit and finish are perfect.

Spodenki

Excellent.... I just wish it was a bit cheaper...

Im curious to know what our cars do in the quarter. I need to take mine to the track soon!

jnc2000

So I went ahead an pulled a trigger on another MOD this weekend....

















.............



















That's right..... picked up a rare WDP 6mt w/ Taupe

Now comes time to swap everything off the WDP 5AT w/ Ebony and continue the build...

PPLAPW

2012?

jnc2000

Nope,

2010 6mt -- the 2012's no longer offer the Taupe interior which I absolutely love. Not to mention I prefer the aggressive styling / look of the 09-11 TL.

So if I wanted to re-use my RJ grill, and transfer all my parts, I had to find essentially the same car... but in MT form. So I ended up with a 2010 6MT WDP Taupe w/ 14k miles


I know it's a bad picture as it was taken with a camera phone... but...

Holy crap! Good luck with everything!

jnc2000

I am indeed! -- but I'm not the first person on this board to buy two of the same cars and do a full part(s) swap :P

Indeed I do... I missed driving a manual. I couldn't find one when I bought mine less than a year ago, so I waited... and waited... until the right opportunity came along. Numbers worked, and I pulled the trigger.

Pete2010

You'll never reget it. I love every minute with my 6MT.

What are you going to do with all the sound deadening you installed on the AT; un install, reinstall?

jnc2000

I've grinning ear to ear and she's stock

All of it will stay... I have more then enough sound deadening at my disposal at any given time that re-using it is the least of my worries.

First things first though is cleaning her up. The previous owner did not know / appreciate what he had. It's quite sad...

A good day of detailing is in order.... inside and out.

Nexson

so your selling your old? and your swapping your bumpers right?

jnc2000

Brian,

Bumpers are the same... but I will need to have the grill repainted as the WDP on this TL is different then my old one. I'll also need to swap the full fog light shroud and housing as I need my gunmetal shrouds... likewise with all the other trim pieces on the car. It's going to be quite the tear down.

Once the old TL is back to stock form then it'll be sold...

HeartTLs

iTrader: (5)

Private or ? My friend is looking to get a 4G; he'd prefer a MT but those are rare gems.

Nexson

but dont you need to switch the bumpers, you cant take off the lip kit, because it is going to have the holes from the install, unless your getting a new kit..

jnc2000

Brian -- give me a call bro -- we can discuss this offline. I'm not quite sure where your going at with this.

WOW, hell of an upgrade JNC! Enjoy the 2012 and the MT.

jnc2000

Started with the part swap last night... Manifold, TB, TB spacer, P2R gaskets and Intake runners, and SRI all got transferred over to the 6MT SH-AWD....

Donor car....




Transferred over...

Sorry no pics of the process...

If someone wants to see something specifically let me know I can snap a picture...

jnc2000

Thanks! -- no 2012 though for me... sticking with the pre MMC design
