Yea i saw the link for it right after i posted that.
Ill wait on this one, especially since you have to drill into it to support the brackets for all the parts that bolt to the OEM bar.

I dont open my hood at shows at this point anyways.

 

but i think brackets aren't much needed. probably just zip tie them or jb weld the support rather than drilling them.


btw... saw this hot looking passat cc. think its optional lip kit from vw.

 

Damnit Min, i already fell in love with that car a while ago....I dont need to see these pictures too. lol


Anyone wanna buy a TL?

 

haha.. only sedan that looks so good these days. also with strong vr6 and 4motion

 

VR6 !?!? Only option i saw at the auto show for power train was the inline turbo 4.


The only problem is that it is still a VW...so that means it will break down sooner than later...

 

vr6
3.6l
280hp/265tq


vw, audi, bmw, and benz. they need to be sold or traded in for a new one once warranty expires.

 

btw... rv6 strut bar is shipped
running out of mods now..

 

Those are good numbers. But like you said, 50k miles and they go tits up.

There is a end to the mods?

 

i was just asking myself the same question... what does the end of the list look like?

 

anyone going to PIR friday night? suppose to be nice.. thinking i might hit it up

 

ahhh finally happened! pulled over for no front plate on my way home for lunch, lame.

Swear the cop thought I was some dumb ass highschooler on spring break, when he came back to my window he had to apologize for pulling me over for something "lame" but he already called it in blah blah, gave me a fix-a-ticket and a hand shake. Pretty nice guy really so I'm not bitching to much

Still we should just ban highschoolers from the road... lol

 

^^ damn that sucks and is good all in the same... and i agree on the driver.. i wouldnt think a highschooler could afford a tsx.. unless mommy or daddy bought it.. the cop should of known better.. did they even ask why you didnt have it on there??

i need to figure out how i am gonna place mine in a diff spot so i can avoid it..

 

^^ no, he just said "did you know you're required to have your font plate on in Oregon?" I said "derf, no" and he said "ok, well get it back on your front end so someone else wont pull you over for it"

he was really nice though, so no skin off my nose, was doing his job. It's when you get police at are just rude or condescending that it's an issue.

 

Wow, front plate tickets all around. I just got home from Astoria dealing with my ticket.
The front plate ticket was dropped with a simple picture of it on my cell phone, and the tint is automatically dropped in half just because i removed it. Given the fact that the cop said she would drop the ticket if i showed her all the stuff fixed, i pled not guilty to the tint. So instead of going back for another court date, they have the option of me filling out a sworn statement and pictures of the car. So ill be sending those in soon, along with a copy of the receipt of Ron Tonkin doing the tint on the car before i owned it.

Worst case i pay 180$ instead of 350$
Best case i pay nothing and everything is dropped.

 

chicken ass tickets..

 

Yawn!!!!

 

eh spring break, they'll be out rolling for a week getting literally everything they can, funny on a holidays and vacation weeks not only does gas get more expensive but so do tickets

 

Thus why i go see about putting my car in the body shop this week.

 

^^ lucky bastard lol, still modding, I am in envy!

 

Well the paint should be free since they have to re-spray the trunk as it is. Just need to find out how much the molding of the CSL spoiler will be.

 

next year its all about the body work for me... im feeling the itch for a kit..

kyle you going to PIR friday night?

 

As of now if the weather holds i will be there.

 

Just got back from Tualatin Auto Body....here is the damage.

-CSL Spoiler molded into the trunk would be $400-500 (more towards the $500 side) Paint would be free since the trunk has to be painted anyways.

-CSL Spoiler un-molded, just glued to the trunk is $95 Free paint, but there is a low spot in the spoiler that needs to be filled.

-Type-S front bumper $250 if i have it painted at the same time as the trunk.


Not too bad, the molded price is alot more than i wanted to pay but i know it would be worth the price. So now i need to decide if i can live with the lines or not.

 

couldnt you do double sided sticky tape instead of glue? least then if you want to sell the car you can pull the part off and sell it later..

 

it'll be lot more show worthy molded. or you can mold, sand, grind yourself and take it to shop just for painting.

 

I could tape it, but that is just that much more that the spoiler will "stick" up.
Also, the guy i work with over there said that the glue stuff sticks just as well as hardware. Which i will need for when the girlfriend forgets that its fiberglass and trys to open the trunk with it.

I got to thinking about it. $750 for a front bumper and molded trunk is not bad. Especially with the lifetime warranty.

 

nope not bad at all.. you could cut it down if you do some of the labor yourself..

 

True, but ill stick to mechanical shit, and leave the body work to the pros. If i had a metal version of the spoiler it would be super easy, and a shit ton cheaper. Maybe i can find a place to stamp some out, and get my money back selling them off on here.


--------------

Also, the guy who hacked up his ATLP Quads is selling them. Ive been getting hit with PMs about the tips i bought from him all day.

The sad part is....Hes using the ATLP name on the exhaust in the sale thread...with a price tag of 700$. I feel bad for whoever picks this up with how disapointed they will be with it.

 

that sucks to be that person...

I just found out about making some molds on parts.. so hopefully beginning summer i might dabble into some carbon layout.. if it turns out good then i will let ya know.. of course by then youll have your spoiler already put on so i guess that makes it useless? haha

 

I may have missed if you already found some - but i have i think like 3/4 of a trunk kit i'd sell you cheap

 

3/4 of a trunk lid isn't gonna help me lol. I think I am going to go with the second skin stuff once my tax return rolls in. Thanks for the offer though.

 

Anyone here need a futon?

I have a wood framed futon that is in excellent condition I'm looking to sell. Mattress has springs in it so it doesn't get flat and hard spots like standard futon mattresses and stil folds into a couch etc... In other words it was a pricey mattress. Mattress color is black with no stains, mattress has no odors, wood frame is a light wood. Let me know if any of you are interested.

 

so i went snowboarding and know what i found out??? the TL doesn't have fold down rear seats yayyyy all it has is that center seat/arm rest thing with the tiny hole that i couldn't even fit the board through. i had to set my boards there and in between the driver and pass seat on my center arm rest.. good thing i got an auto lol
i didn't take my car up there but had to go to a friends house with 3 boards!! lol 2 side by side between the seats and the 3rd on upside down with the end of the board laying between the rear head rests poor leather...

 

^^ damn that sucks.. no flip down? i feel alittle blessed thats mine atleast fold down..suprised that the TL's dont

 

BTW the list is updated on the meet.. so far only 3 peeps listed.. if you plan to meet up please sign up so we know if its a bust or not

 

OMG - go to the DMV to get my lisence renewed and I need to give them my SS card, birth certificate, and a credit card to prove I'm a fucking american!!!!!

Son of a bitch, I was american 5 fucking years ago when they issued me a lisence when they hell did I lose my citizenship in the eyes of the DMV? Must be because everyone else in the fucking line only spoke spanish so the DMV employees assumed they were in Mexico!!!! FUCK THE DMV!!! and this state/countries ass backward views on whos american and who isn't...

Sorry for the rampage but it just pisses me off.

 

ya the DMV is horrible now.. i dread going when my time rolls in...
