The girlfriend came home and said it looked good and better than she thought it was gonna look.


Now i'm gonna roll it on down to the gas station and look at it real good and decide on a plan of action.

Thanks Evan. I fell in love with the color when I saw this s2000 back in 2010.

Thanks Bryan.


Tested out a sharpie paint pen on the INVO logo. Not sure if it will stick to the tire or not, but what I was looking for was whatever Jeremy to paint his. He said he used some paint made for RC cars and it starts with a P. haha

Wheel doesn't look that bad Eric. If you go with that plan you should really get them powder coated professionally and then get a set of new Volk decals for them. Personally though I always like the gold Volks because of the gold tint in the pearl of the TL.

I was curious to hear your reaction to what I had done haha.

The idea is to go wider with 18s, and make the TL fit the wheels. I will keep the 19s for the odessey down the road. Or put them on the lexus.

The neon yellow will be the chosen color for sure. I love it. The can says it glows in the dark too lol.

It surprised me when I went to peel the original volk sticker off the bronze wheel which was bought in 2004, it came off without any trouble and was able to be reapplied. Mind was blown.

A guy on a Charger forum I'm on just got a set of LED wheel lights. I can see it for showing, but that's about it.

I almost went into a coma last night from laughing so hard at certain parts of the video.

It was the level of seriousness of the two guys haha.

Dorthy became a fan of the neon yellow after seeing the TE37, and to my surprise she gave me clearance to paint her ce28s. Without hesitation, I present to you what her driver's side looks like as of earlier tonight.









The color is similar to gram light's 57D 'luminous yellow' as they call it.

Thanks Tyler. Yellow overlay is there for life.


These TEs have the perfect look to them in my opinion. I'm trying to figure out the exact specifications of them. I want them on the TL.
