Found a guy that can do the work for $1600. But ill need to find the parts for the car. Gonna need new front steel bumper, plastic bumper, new Side fender, Hood and that whole metal side on the driver side. Also new Radiator Support, New Airbox( but ill do CAI) and he said that the Piece of steel that hold the Motor is kinda bent. Looked at the engine and Tranny and said they looked fine and where nt moved. Hell i even started the car and she turned with no problem. No fluids leaked at all. Does ne knw where i can find some if nt all these parts? Kevin ne way u can let ur guy see these Pics? Thien ne way u mite be able to help on ne mechanical issue if ne are found? If i can gather all the parts he can do the job in a week (without paint). Did say he had a Auto tech that could help out fixin the car for an extra $300. So idk im gonna guess almost 2500 of 3k to fix all of car. Ne 1 wanna loan me some $$$ till my life gets better lol. Goin Sell my Amp And 15" MTX Speaker. Also my Bro is buyin my old 20's for $400

Got my bumper from ebay for $90 bucks shipped.
There's a place here that sells all body parts, not oem of course, brand new for cheap.. but can't think of the name of the top of my head... I'll let you know what it is when I remember..

lol, seeing a larger picture now, gl with that price
the dash would, but radiater support and such is different, but iirc like the frame rail is the same though, many crossover parts, but also quite a few unique ones also
fuck work is killin me.
I was driving to work this morning and I saw a dark gray 2nd gen TL ahead of me. I did 60 in a 45 to catch up to drive together and it was an old lady. That shit always happens when I see another 2nd gen. 7 times out of 10 it's a senior citizen. 
btw, my picture isn't photoshoped and no it's not an old pic either 
But the sun hitting it made it look real good... the bumper is actually just spray painted white
Looks 10x better then before though

But I feel an oncoming wave of new young owners approaching as prices are dropping on our cars.

Any of you guys notice the increase in cars from New Mexico here. I seen 4 of of them driving home from work today and none of them were rentals. I've seen a few over the week too. I'm used to seeing Cali, Texas and Wyoming cars frequently but not this many New Mexico.

^ haven't really noticed.
But what I did notice was a TL tonight.
Was at Sushi Katsu in Aurora and saw a DGP 3G TL M/T with a carbon fiber hood, BBS wheels, and GReddy exhaust.
Anyone know the owner?

Did a little work on my car Saturday. Tokico blues front and rear, Akebeno brakes front and rear, and EBC slotted ultimax rotors. I had to replace my fuel door and release cable. Started at about 10:30 and finished at 5:30. Took up my whole damn day but eveything is nice and smooth now. Oh yeah, also did an oil change.
