I think you should keep the CTS badge. In fact, I think you should get another badge to put right in front of the "V-flag" badge so it says "CTS V-flag".

And then you should get another one and put it right in the middle on the chrome trim right above the license plate. And then even out the left side of the car.

You should do this:

There is but it comes and goes...
oh I shoulda gotten silver
oh I shoulda gotten Ricardo seats...
oh I shoulda gotten Manuel's Tranny

but then I go, nawwww...any more money and I'd have to have given up the S2000 too. Fuck that, I'd rather have a lightweight roadster than a seat and a knob in the V.
I'll have to double check, I assumed they were 295's cause that's what I read...the rears are different than the front too..front are pilot sport as3 or something and rears are PSS.
It's going away in a major way, man...the more I drive it, the more I realize I was ready for some chill seat time...just a relaxing car that drives VERY nicely, feels luxurious and also fast. Fuck yes.

I need to order one of those decals. That looks sweet.

Fogs don't look bad. I think I am going to go with either Nokya or PIAA LED setup. They produce a lot of light output from videos I have seen on them.
Thanks! Yeah, I know myself...the little simple stuff...fk it, I go for it...
I might swap for some LED fogs too...no stress and no ballast to mount. That's a win.

I considered it but it doesn't bug me too much...there's some scratches around the CTS so I'll wait to buff those to debadge although I'm not sure I love the unbalanced badge on one side and not the other. Maybe I'll put another V badge on the left, a la S.Bell

I know! All day yesterday I was like, damn...I should at least look and see what I'm missing. Then once I took it out of the box and compared to pics online I was like, WTF, I think I'm only missing the one bolt on the top cover itself and that is IT. LOL. i wish hadn't ordered that "hardware kit" from airaid for $57. I also hope they don't give me a hard time to return it.
Thanks again for a fair deal, JB.

I actually did a straight trade for the blue TL-S plus $20K cash on their end.
Don't give up!


Maj...he definitely does. That was hilarious.

The new high output LED fogs have ballasts. I really want to do a set. Just can't decide on white or yellow. I have always done yellow fogs in the past.

Holy mother FUCKKKKKK
$300!
My other problem is I'm worried about not matching the low beams.
I think I'd prefer buying the D1S CBI instead.

Thanks, Jason.

Just to help you spend more money have you seen the CNC machined aluminum V badges?

Funny, I was looking at them last night but wasn't sure where people were getting them from.
I originally thought I'd be doing the newer bigger Caddy badge but I really like the traditional one.

When is your new exhaust coming in?

Yeah I really actually like the old badge as well. I would love to do all the badges in a black chrome finish though.

I wish I knew when it was coming I really do. The date keeps getting pushed back. The original date was a month and a half ago.

OHHH...I thought you gave a deposit and you were just waiting to sell a kidney to come up with the rest of the money.
I mean, do you really NEED to even have mufflers on your car right now!?!?!?

Nope it was a deposit so it could be built and it is apparently still being built or maybe even hasn't been started. I really hope I get it soon though cause I have a road trip the second weekend in September and I really hope I get to make that trip with it installed. However, with my luck I am going to assume it will get delivered the day after I get back from the trip.

LOL...I gotcha...just me being impatient...still pretty funny to punch it near the bus stop and see everyone look over as if they just heard a jet plane take off. They NEVER expect to see that in a wagon!

Oh damn, really?!?! Told you I never opened it after I ordered it! I was told by the vendor it was missing hardware. I mean I guess he technically wasn't lying Glad it was only a few things. I'm sure you can send it back to Airaid. From what I have heard their service is very good...

I don't read GOOD!
LOL...I'd rather it be missing LESS than more!
It's literally missing only ONE bolt on top. And it's not even functional...lol

Thanks again, JB.

I know you dude.

I actually really like the metal of the middle one with the b/w flag of the top. Because "all black everything".

But I know how you are about your Hot Cocoa heritage.

Hmm... Actually, the finish of the middle with black/grey flag...

I'm saying we agree!
but I already have the Suisse plate that I found out I can keep for 10 years (they discontinued the american red cross tag starting now)...
We'll see...but we definitely have the same taste.
