Louis, that doesn't look that bad.

I personally don't really like two tones though, some other guy on here did it with a 2g, he posts in the norcal post whore thread. His was a weird color combo though so white might be able to pull it off.

I hate two tones...well most of them. I guess ive just seen too many Chip Foose vehicles with it.

But for some reason i cant get unwrapped from doing this. One thing that has to be kept in mind is that these pictures dont offer the shine/reflection that the vinyl will have.

Haha, chip foose tried buying one of my friends cars, Fooses shop was pretty close to me and right next to my buddy's gas station.

I'm sure the final product would look better. You never know until you try and see it in person. You should do CF or LV =p

Louis - I dunno man..the back end of the "vinyl" near the trunk kinda ruins the body line of the 3G. I wanna see pics with the black on the trunk too. Maybe if you took it all the way back and CF trunk I think it might look better but for now, I say borderline ricey..IMHO.

I guess I'm not really feeling the two tone. I too flagged the CL add for speed concept, i'm a fan of them but I dont hate them as well. I just got sick of seeing all the post when i'm looking for parts.

Fill in the other side and it will be fine. But like you worry about, dual openings with only one outlet looks odd.

185th is typically the border between Beaverton and Hillsboro, at least that's what my Beaverton Police cop friend says. The border gets kinda weird further South as you head towards Aloha. Sonic lists that Corn Pass/Cornell store as Hillsboro

So far so good. I made sure that I bedded in the pads as per EBC's instructions, and for a while I was almost regretting my decision to go slotted/dimpled because they were a noisy for awhile with a scraping-like sound. The sound is much less pronounced now, and now that I've put on about 1000 miles, the combo of the rotors, pads and SS brake lines are great!

He's right...if you head north on 185th from Baseline, you will encounter this sign right before the MAX crossing. 185th is literally the dividing line.

Someone here wouldn't happen to have a wheel lock to a 2G TL?

I got a fucking flat today leaving Corvallis and I left my lock at my friends gas station in California. $218 later the car is at my grandma's farm in Amity, awaiting the wheel lock from California. (I would rather pick one up from someone and get it done sooner then later)

Where the heck is Amity? Wish I can help, but I don't have an OEM wheel lock. I'm assuming thats what you have.

I think I might still have one in my garage. I'll have to check when I get home. Let me know if you still need it.
