Not a problem. The #1 goal now is to send it to the paint shop but that should be done next week.

There us always a list...

Paint
Install my cf lip again... second one
Paint rear stock calipers red to match the rotoras
Fix my gauge mounts, lower in the dash
New custom intake, taking out the bend of a 3.5 90 degree
Enkie rpf1 for my track set up
Then start thinking about audio/tv

Then detail

I have yet to drive a 2011. I'm going to check one out when I get time.

A SRT8? And you're in Katy. Black SRT8? I've seen someone about your age driving one (bad at guessing ages...). The WK never grew on me. Only reason I would get one was for the CRD. Collectively, our family has 1 ZJ and 2 WJs. WK2 looks to be a winner inside and out.

Dang. Looks like I missed another meet. I was in Orlando.

The carbon fiber was all ordered from a member.

Can't wait to here what you say about the jeep Carlito Benito. They look unreal on the commercial/internet. Have you seen the concept SRT8 drawing?

You are correct it is black. I have seen a couple in Katy but it is rare. I am not sure what I see less of...a srt or a modded TL.

Hey guys, im thinking about doing some fender work, for those of you guys who have seen the setup i have the back wheels poke outside the fender because they are staggered, im thinking about stretching the fender so that i can drop it back to stock height atleast... right now i have spacers in the springs so that the fender dont hit the tire...

My TL is not modded and probably won't be modded visually. I prefer the sleeper look. Now.... if I could just find a supercharger (and blow up my 5AT).

I will let you know how it drives.

The rear of the type s aspec is very different then the 06 style. I have an 06 but changed it out for the 07 so I could run the ATLP exhaust. Little hacking of the bumper and modding required.


06


07

the link i gave you, saif.
you can buy just the rear for 349.

I'm also pretty handy and can install for you, as i like doing car things.
the 04-06's would be a breeze.
the 07-08 does involve cutting. I have a dremel.
