how long have you had yours on?? any fading from the film??
i've had mine on my headlamps since feb in 08 no fading or yellowing yet (as far as i can tell). 3M is supposedly non-yellowing or fading but i'm sure your gonna get a lil bit. yah let me know... i'll hook you up. cheap.

^ lol. Dont have an answer for you on that but i do have laminX on my fogs. I had laminX on my rsx fogs also and those lasted something like 3-4 years before one fog cracked. Hids wont get hot enough for it to discolor or anything and even when the fog cracks from a huge rock it will stay in one peice. Its good durable stuff and alot better then replacing a lens every few months.

Is the lens for your foglights flat or rounded? Cuz if it's flat, I would recommend replacing the lens with lexan. That's what I did for mine and it's clear as glass and no melting probs with HID fogs. Plus it's supposed to be like 1000 times stronger than glass. Just a thought...

its not perfectly flat it has a slight bend to it.. the lens is already cracked im sure i had a rock hit it just perfect too cause it also has a partial crack going up..

honestly i dont know the speed cause i was paying attention to the road more.. but i was going up the hill from hwy 30 for the st johns bridge so it wasnt that big of a stretch and it was up a hill.. i guess that hills are in grades so its a 8-10% grade.. im guessing.

i did have the pedal to the medal and i know i was doing atleast 60 or so when he saw me.. but his arguement is thinking i was doing well above that and thats what i want to prove just in case..

the ticket he wrote thought is failure to obey the basic rule.. which i could probably talk my way out of or down

Chuck norris and Seagal both are world class title holders in both their art but my money would be on seagal. His 7th degree aikido would easily beat Chucks karate anyday. Seagal just looks stupid in his movies where he thinks he is a native american or a bad ass cop. Norris is stupid but i'm sure we all watched walker

Hey guys..I gotta pair of tics to the 76ers game on Dec. 28th plus a Parking Pass for the East/West Garage. Seats are in Section 114, Row M. Anyone want them? Asking $300 for the whole package. Someone please take these so they don't go to waste...

Don't do it!! Ride out the TL as long as you can!! Man, what's up with you 3G guys giving up on them? If I had a 3G Type-S, I'd be set for a decade at least.

he sold me the base lip for 07/08 base bumper. i'm selling the typeS lip for 07/08
some guy custom fitted 07/08 typeS lip on 04/05/06 base bumper but it'll be easier if you just get the typeS bumper

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/fitment-guru-presents-%7C%7C-egonz36-ct-nbp-tl-s-fronted-752765/

fyi... there are 3 different front lips for the 3g tl

04/05/06 aspec lip
07/08 base aspec lip
07/08 typeS aspec lip
