I dont know if 3gtl ones will fit but I do still have my sstock suspension...more welcome to the tophats if you can find out if it is the same part number. Worth a shot.

fracas

Question is. Do the front top hats have 5 mounting bollts?

The reason Im looking for the top hats are for my Koni's & drop springs. Not really wanting to tear down my stock ones for the hats.

NBP_BALLER

3G TL has 3 studs that are used and 3 extra studs. So no they wont work

fracas

well it was worth a shot.

NAiL05

I tried. Never really looked closely at a 2gtl tophat.

Do you guys meet anywhere?

NBP_BALLER

We were doing once a month. Need to again maybe this coming weekend or the next. Typically its been bone daddy's. No.one set place. Meet up for lunch and to.hang

fracas

Bone Daddys off 75 and spring valley?

NBP_BALLER

We have gone to that location a few times, or the one in grapevine. I live right next to the one in plano. Me and opboarding usually try and set one up. It doesnt matter where we go, it can be up for discussion, have a bbq, or whatever. Usually about 10 ppl show up. Its always on a sunday since (most) people are off work.

NBP_BALLER

Meet up this sunday the 4th of August...? Anyone down?

fracas

Sound like a good time. I like meeting new people that are into the same Hobbies as I am. But the 4th is a no go for me. Im heading to Mayhem Festival.

Hockeyman

Can't make it on the 4th, already attending 2 meets that day haha

NBP_BALLER

How about the 11th?

disgruntlednut

Well... Got hit from behind last week on I-30 on my way to work. Fortunately the damage was just to the back bumper. Who knows people who know people?

NBP_BALLER

This guy does. What do you need just a bumper cover and for it to be painted?

05RLinOK

I am down for a meet on the 11th. I have been wanting to make a drive down that way anyways. I haven't been down there since the Honda Fetish event.

disgruntlednut

Thanks MBP. Yes, just a bumper and paint. I don't know if the support behind is damaged. Does your guy just do paint or bodywork also? If there's anything damaged behind it, we'll have to work with the insurance company on writing a supplemental.

fracas

I was a lil disappointed with the meet. It was smaller than expected and I seen just as many clean cars in the parking lot as I did inside the fence area.

NBP_BALLER

I work at a dealership and they do bodywork also. Now if you wanted a quick bumper painted he is pretty good on the price. Ive never had any bodywork done by him personally so i dont know what he would charge, depending on what it is. If he can make a little side money and paint the bumper he usually will.

NBP_BALLER

Well they were trying to keep the Honda/Acura's in the meet and they other cars outside they wernt. There were alot of nice cars outside in the parking lot, It was just as enjoyable outside the fenced in area as it was in. Excepet for the poor guy that had the tent fly off and smash his TL back window... that was sad. It was a decent turn out, im not really into all the old trashed rice civocs which there were plenty but it was a honda meet...

fracas

You mean this one? I would have been pissed. But it was a windy day and there was bound to be a accident .

Damn, that sucks.

Cool. Text me whenever and lets see what we can work out. 817-903-8024.

Thanks,

NBP_BALLER

Yeah the last one a few weeks ago. The guy was in the middle of the lot with a bunch of ppl under a tent. It wasnt held down and the wind blew it over, i think the leg went straight through his back window. I didnt get close enough to look at if it damaged anything else. I didnt want to see a pissed off guy yell at everyone to go away or see him curl up in the fetal position and cry so i kept my distance.

fracas

I took a lot of pic at that meet. Bought some shirts and stickers.

chinwookid

I'm debating if i should let Nelson do my fenders or if i should bring it to a professional. MBP_BALLER think you can ask your guy how much it would be to roll and pull my fenders?

NBP_BALLER

He doesnt do any rolling. I actually need to do mine... i rolled mine in the rear a bit but im hitting up front on turns cuz i lowered it alot more than i was. I would reccomend someone that uses a professional roller. I think there is a guy on craigslist around doing it that is good so im told. I dont trust people touching my car so im a bit weary of someone doing it. I think someone in houston bought a eastwood roller not too long ago... Maybe we should hit them up.

fracas

Fender Roller...Says he has been doing it 6 years.

That second pic looks like absolute shit lol

Come on now. He is the BEST in Df DUB!

chinwookid

we should hit him up! maybe he can give us a deal since there is going to be both of our cars.

Can any of you tell me if a 02-03 TL Oem lip will fit on a 2000 Front bumper correctly ?

NBP_BALLER

Not sure, check second gen forum threads, they will know. Maybe type it into yahoo and acurazine and you might find something. If it was a 3g id be all over that!

opboarding

Eastwood fender rollers are $200 on ebay. Split it between the both of you and DIY. Then either one of you keeps it then rent it to other forum members for $50 or something to make your money back. Or resell it on ebay and get atleast $100 after shipping and use that to make some of your money back.

There is also a place I think it was in DFW that will rent them out to you. It was pretty cheap and came out to under $100 renting for a weekend. I cant remember the site though.

disgruntlednut

http://www.rollyourfender.com/rentalinfo.html

He can meet you in Addison or Irving, $50 rental for 5 days. And you don't have to mess with shipping it back to him.

Even sweeter deal if you could find another person to split it with.

I wish I had known about this site so I could have done it myself. I took mine to Speedtek in Haltom City about 4 years ago, and I think they charged 50 or 60 bucks to do the rear 2 wheels. So if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, I don't know if they still offer this service, but they can do it.

chinwookid

sounds very very good but i am to afraid to do it myself. :/

I used Tyler, he rolled my fenders real well. I have no complaints w/ his work, he even used a heat gun. He also drives a hella flush 350z that he rolled himself, so he knows his work.

opboarding

Yep! That's the site I remember.

NAiL05

THe only shop you will find that will roll and do a good job is kustomz or there were a couple. But I would recommend kustomz unlimited. I forgot how much they charge an axle though. I just borrowed friends eastwood and did it myself...took a while but I got it to work.

NBP_BALLER

Yeah thats the one... yikes
