It's very well received and highly recognized.... so mission accomplished for us

It's a rolling advertisement for us, plus, many people call us specifically to sponsor events so the truck can participate in whatever they are having (town parade, festival, school event, etc.). Typically we'll get any fees waived, so it's free advertising for us. Plus, they'll mention us in their PR stuff.

So yeah, it's been awesome...

My '02 TL-S in its prime (circa 2006):

Got OEM Type-S rims with Nokians, so nowhere near the 'bling' factor of the Volk SE37 that are in the pics right now ...

Upcoming purchase:

Stole that pic from a G37 site.

Mods to shortly follow:
- tint
- debadge

Down the road:
- JDM rebadge?
- 19" Volks of some sort
- 18" winter rim setup (my old Volks? Definitely need spacers if those will even fit...)

thanks for the props! i was jonesing for midnight blue metallic but fell in love with the meteor grey which was a new color for 2006 carreras (in addition to slate and atlas). just taking baby steps and getting acclimated to this serious machine. honestly, you don't even know how fast you're going until you look down at the speedometer. ergo the necessity of the laser jammer

will try and post more pics later. darksom, when you gonna come out to h-town and visit? saving a seat for you shotgun

damn car forums

it's a good thing that you can only do so much to a 45... there weren't/aren't much aftermarket stuff for it... But the FX35 shares so many common parts with the Z's and G's... therefore there's a lot more you can do with them

Yup the S2k replaced the G

I never wanted AWD, the problem is it would have taken a few additional months to get a regular journey up here, I needed a car and thus had to take the AWD. I don't work anymore so having a car I can't drive in the nasty weather doesn't bother me in the least. I plan on moving to a warmer climate with in 18 months, and the G just wasn't fun to drive so it seemed like the logical choice.
