i really like the poke on your car, but aside from just fitment and stance, your car is so clean. im a fan of vip style boxes, but yours is the cleanest ive ever seen. im really contemplating doing the window surrounds in white like yours, but iono how itd look on a tl.

it was stolen and probably stripped of all the aftermarket parts, so im assuming he managed to get it back to stock running condition and is selling it.

Naw, not yet. I'm gonna have to get it towed over there.

Might be doing that this weekend though.

Costs extra because I have to get a flat bed since the car is too low to tow normally.

Ahhh yeah, the good ol' flatbed.

I hear ya on that special request, there's no way a regular tow truck could handle our lowered cars. Even then our mufflers would be scraped to hell

well i can take care of the soldering for you no problem, care to link to me some threads with info on other people doing this mod, i want to see what all is involved in doing this for the 3gtl.

once i see what needs to be done, i can recommend some led choices and i can do the work too.

one thing you should know that most the people in that thread dont realize is that, yes those oznium strips are made to run 12v already but your car doesnt put out 12v, its puts out around 13.5-14 when the car is running so the MOST reliable way of keeping them running at the proper 12v, is to use a 12v voltage regulator. it simply keeps the voltage steady at 12v instead of allowing the LEDs to be exposed to the voltage fluctuations that a car has. question is whether or not i'll be able to fit a regulator in there with the leds or not.

another option is to do a custom setup and calculate the resistors for the leds to recieve 14v instead of 12v. that way even if your voltage goes as high as 14v, the leds are still within normal operating voltage. this option is not as good as the voltage regulator but its better than nothing at all.

let me know what you want to do. if you can take the sidemarkers off and give them to me, i can work on them in my spare time and get them back to you. i dont have any white leds on hand at the moment but i can order some.

I might have asked this before but, is Wheels America worth using for wheel repair??

I have heard of Memory Fab.

Wheel Techniques too. (I think it was called) But I hear the service can be "spotty".

Anyone have any opinions? I have two piece wheels that are curbed and slightly bent. =(

I think Memory Fab may use wheels america since they are dang near next to each other. Wheels America charges one standard price and turn around is a matter of a day or two.

I read on WA's website that they charge one flat rate and turn around is fast. But I didn't know if that was a good thing or bad thing, seemed a little "too good to be true".

Where did you go to have your Equips finished, if you did have them refinished.

I'm about to have them refinished. I will go either with Memory Fab or Wheel Techniques. Probably after Wekfest.
