According to some instagram hashtags I saw a video where the uncc cops told everyone to leave on their intercom.

Doing body work is an art form that takes years and years of experience. It is not something you pickup overnight from a youtube video.

And here marks the possible demise of possibly the best looking TL.

Basically I am trying to mess with the fenders and the extent of how much is unknown.

I have been in the mindset of 'if Jeremy owned my TL, what would he do to it'. I try and mentally picture in my head what the son of a bitch would do to a TL haha.

Ask him?

If you're really going to do it, do a cut/radius job on the fenders and add about an inch of metal to both sides. It'd be durable and won't crack like fiberglass if contacted by the tire. It would be like M3 fender flares vs. the normal 3-series body. That's just my tho...

Thanks for the input Evan. It's hard to visualize what it will look like without any examples to look at.


I've also learned that it's possible to buy house of kolors paints on ebay which is pretty awesome. I will be ordering some chartreuse neon for the wheels and do them better the second time around.

They do look pretty amazing in that photo haha.


I do have an idea for finding out what a widebody TL would look like. It's just a matter of going down to the garage and doing it.

Gentlemen I drove the TL to the gym parking lot and parked in the back, jacked up the left rear, pulled the wheel off, and beat the fuck out of the inner fender with a hammer. When I left the gym she didn't make a single noise.

That may or may not have been directly related to IT though...

You need to work for yourself.

Well I have my freelance business in graphic design but clients have been scarce lately. Ive just finished 4 client last month and my rates are pretty damn cheap. I charge $150 for a simple logo including 2 changes. Any additional change is $20. I expect 50% up front and the rest when the design is completed.

But I did get a part time job for a mobile detailing position today mostly for the ballantyne area. So it'll do for now

I know haha but if I could find one for like 500 from someone parting out a junked car in a different color instead of 750 I figured I could save myself some money. And since I'll already be having the front bumper painted my dad was talking about having the rear bumper done too since there's some damage from the previous owners back there too

There is also a saying that goes something like this "
If you don’t build your dream someone will hire you to help build theirs"

Too bad I need to save up a little money to start my dream haha
