Ok before this goes in to camera talk again...
I love the height, of course no need to waste money on different stuff until shocsk go bad
Just saying that I like cars sitting straight, not front down and rear up... you guys know that already

Thank John.
Wondered if they were yellow as SVS but looks like not.

Morimoto 5k were bluish at first week but now they match exactly to CBI that I installed to FX

SVS? Oh damn yellow

SVS on left Morimoto5k on right


I call SVS 4000k, at most!!!
85122+ is powerful version of stock color I guess?

^^^that's exactly what it is...
also, after Betty veto'd the red emblems I ALMOST put on the car (can you say, ricer? and clashing with amber?!), we decided that if I wanted to stand out...black would be the way to go. I'm in love...subtle touch to not lose the oem look (they are OEM H's from 2001 AP1, front is slightly smaller than my stock one)...but separate myself from other Sebring silver AP2's.

Looks good, I like the old one but this one stands out nice and matches with black silver contrast of the car. I love it

Now I could imagine how bad red would've looked
You tried red with TL too... your first noob days

Emblems and the wheel spacers. They seem like small additions by themselves but really take your car to the next level.

If you're not careful the S2000 is gonna steal all the attention from your TL!

Tell me about it, man! I considered it, but I held it up to the car on the silver with the amber in the heads and was like NOPE...it honestly felt like it looked juvenile. Maybe it's in my head.

Steven, just realized I accidentally didn't grab your post in my multi quote...but I feel ya, I know you're a big fan of the red on silver Sorry man!

Thanks man! It's the little things...devil in the details, right? Funny you mention that, I hadn't driven the TL since last Thursday...this morning I had decided to take the TL and had my gym clothes, work badge in it...as I came into the garage I ALMOST swapped it all back over to take the S again...I was like, nawwww, can't do that to my first love.

Honestly, it's been a while since I've gotten such good road head. So I'm down...
seriously though, I'm contemplating bringing the S rather than the TL to the next meet too...top down, or bike rack to hit the trails, hmmmmmmm

oh and lulz.com about the GeeTeeDan comment, I was like, WTF, he didn't post in here...then I realized why you said it. Yeah, I just snagged those really quickly. There's actually a little cul de sack down the block that I could drive both cars too and walk back...I should shoot there.

Love the new pix....

I think Betty has great taste....the Black emblems look AWESOME....

also the stance is perfect (love how the rear tires have some camber) makes it look very aggressive....me gusta...

Thank you boys! :gheyhug:
The S5 sold...to some old dude. Funny, I was leaving my old place and saw it pulling out of the dealership...I thought it was my friend so I pull alongside it ridiculously close and the guy looks over like WTF...turns out it was the new owner taking her home. I wanted to plow into it and total it

Wow, J! Seriously beautiful S2K. I remember the first time I saw one was outside of Chuck E. Cheese during one of the kids' birthday parties. Fell in love with it. Yours is every bit as sexy. Speaking of.....mmmm, Betty!

Well, the deed is done...hard top is gone.

Long story is ex owner of my car had a friend that lived near him that was working on a deal on a hard top and he pretty much set the deal for me...I went back and forth on it, decided not to sell. 2 hours later he offered me a little more and decided to jump.

I had a hard time deciding on this one because I really loved the look with it on, but I'm a top down all the time type of guy (even in a drizzle, if I'm moving, it stays down ). That said, aside from occasionally having to ask Betty to help me put it on and off because of rain for a few days, or just to take cool pictures...it was a pretty fkn expensive piece of wall art.

Oh, and the $3200 in crisp 100 dollar bills back in the piggy didn't hurt either.


Guy was motivated, he took out the soft top Wednesday night and finished up installing the hard top last night.

When did you get a hood and a turbo

No sir, I'm not getting any one! And that looks more like a baby viper than BRZ

Thanks, man...I had to. Too much money to have it just sitting. But I'm a top down dude, I have to drive it convertible.

Believe it or not, I see a baby Aston. Purely looking at the top of the car only.

Glad you sold it though, J. It was pretty cool but you know you won't miss it after a while and that $3200 can go to something you will use, or help pay off something else. So, congrats!

some sound advice coming from Austin...Austin, I am sure you gonna be very financially responsible


Jeremy, I bet its sad to see something go, but that feeling can be quickly overcome by glancing over 32 big ones and extra space in the garage....so am guessing the SC will happen sooner than later
