or why not ww?

 

ouch, 145 for shipping.

Thought about WW, but im going to be cutting it apart to mold/plastic weld to the diffuser. Id like to try to find one from a wrecked vehicle.

Now who wants to go get the one from the craigslist above for me

 

Just went to my dealership, they have lip kits in stock, but in different colors. I would love to get you that rear lip, but that's too far for me lol :P

I don't live that close to Mexico haha. I do however live close to wingswest/VIS, but you can pretty much buy it off ebay for a good price shipped.

 

 

A nice side shot of trunk lip

 

Primed the work done for the new license plate location

 

Oh and the new 275/35's will be here tomorrow

 

Anything else......???

How are the new fender flares coming along, huh ? Must be ready before mounting those monster meats.

 

looking good you going to do the 3.80 final drive set to go with the 3.7?

 

275s gat damn.

 

Slowly I have to do the rears yet and the fronts need slme finishing welding and body work.

 

Im seriously thinking about it.

 

 

 

Hows the rear diffuser going?

 

I havent done anything with it yet. Im still working on the metal work/fenders. That and im still trying to find a rear lip

 

Congrats on the Trunk! it almost look OEM-ish with the Smooth Finish and Paint.. Your going full scale right? so Double LEDs for the License Plate?

 

Thats just a few coats of primer, i still need to block/wetsand it before i paint it. Yes, i have 2 led strips to go up in the pocket to light the plate.

 

Did you make dyno day or not yet ready?

 

........ Did ya run into a snag ???

 

Negative. Trans is laying on the floor of my garage

Along with lots of metal being worked on.

 

Yea, having time.

BUT...... Here is a teaser (bumper is just sitting in place so yes, there is a gap)


This is a 275/35/18 on a 18x9.5 rim with -1 deg camber all the way up and doesnt rub




And one with a little welding dun

 

I have more pics further along but ill make you wait a little longer

 

faaaaawwwwwkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

 

nice work! will the whole car get paint afterwards?

 

im gonna fix all the chips and dings i can, so ill repaint the whole thing

 

holy..........

 

Yeah, it's always difficult to find enough time in the day for this kinda stuff when the family and home also require attention.

But, from your recent foreplaying effort displayed in the previous pics,
it'll certainly be worth the wait to lay our eyes on the finished project.

Amazing what's involved to gain that extra inch of clearance to mount and tuck the monster meats within.

 

That's coming along nicely! any pics of the new Trunk installed already?

 

Nothing more really than whats posted above. I have yet to do the rear bumper/ valance work. Once done with the fender work i was going to get to that as i am going to have to redo my exhaust to sit a little higher and get different mufflers and dual tips.

 

Yeah, these things don't happen easily. Alot of time involved getting things to come together.
What a glut for punishment..... truly the labor of committed love for a TL.

 

That looks legit!! whats the end color going to be? NBP??

 

Most likely the same, Laguna Green.....

 

A little, wide wheel porn for you guys















From this



To this

 

Damn...you know what you're doing.

 

Actually i dont, im winging it as i go. Ive never done a fender stretch like this before

 

Well done! That flows really well. Are you doing the rear too?
