Hello houston thread. New TL Owner here. Had it for about two months now. 07 CGP AT. Mods have already begun, lol. H&R Sports, rear TL-S Bumper and Exhaust are on their way. Question, Im gonna go with Type S wheels, anybody know or have a pair for sale in Houston. I found a brand new set on ebay, but want to check in the Houston thread first. Here is a pic I just took real quick at work.

Sounds Good Ralph. Im hoping to have everything done by then. I called C&C Northside Motors about the alignment. Im gonna take it there since they are on my side of town. Id rather someone do it right, then pay for a 5 year like I did at NTB and they get it wrong a lot. I just want to find some Type S wheels locally, but looks like Im gonna have to buy off ebay.

good deal bro, even if you are not done with all your mods still show up it should be a good meet. Me and another member on here we are going to take our cars there aswell to get the alignment done sometime soon. I called and its by appointment only when are you going ?

Arite so im bored at work.. so i check out the 3g TL gallery and have come to the conclusion that carbon fiber all over your interior trim looks ugly, awful gross, disgusting, and a few of those big fancy words that Simon Cowell would use to express his disliking... its like they are trying to hard lol.. another thing.. if you tint your headlights and/or taillights too dark you should and will be found guilty by the Acurazine community of trying to convert this beautiful piece of sexy art into a rice rocket.

PS: The Infiniti G35 coupe has officially been labeled The Douche Bag Car..

BadassVtec- Thanks, yeah just appearance wise it hit me. Performance wise not so much, thats what the SS is for. So right now Im going with H&R Sport Springs for the drop, Type S wheels, Type S Bumper and Exhaust. Eventually Ill get some Clear Headlights, and maybe Type S Tails. Then Im done. Dont want to over do it. Its my daily. lol

HKS- Im on the Northwest side of town, by B8 and 290. I didnt want my birth date out there, but Im 29. Im getting ready to pull the trigger on the type s wheels, I wish someone had them locally. Brand New Im gonna buy them for 880 Shipped. Too much? Thats the best deal I have found for them.

I just pulled the trigger last night on ebay. Let me know though. They might send my money back because I gave them an unconfirmed email address. Are yours pristine? Let me know the price too. Thanks

If we did a track day I would take both out there. It is getting to be right type of weather coming up. Sealy or HRP?

I know the TL wont hang from a stop but it might keep up from a roll. My wife has proved from a stop I am dead in the TL.

Bada$$VTEC I remember my first ever run in my stock CL. I ran like 16 something next to a mustang that ran sub 10s. The 16 seconds down the track seemed like I was driving to Dallas. It took forever.

Haha,LOL @ traveling to Dallas..now i'll feel super ashamed to run my car but i'll still run though if we set up a track day. I think it'd be nice to have one.

So what do you guys think about a track day for Azine members?
