Hey guys so its been quite a while since my last update but I have alot of news to share with you!

since that whole accident thing....



But first lets get the bad out of the way, since I got my rear end in I had ran around with the bumper in silver because I bought on off of the dear AV6 Tranny Guru 666Worker!

Before then I had been rolling around drifter style:



(yes I did wash, and wax behind here, just trying to prevent rust I guess )

And this was what it looked like with his bumper and trunk ( this was the trunk that I got with the lip kit, that ended up being useful )



Then I found a TL at an LKQ and was able to get the trunk and bumper from, turns out it was a 2002 whose red was only slightly different. Bringing me to the Pagani-like Special Edition TL we have here:


But anyway... on to the mods and good news!

I had been on the look out for some A-Spec Wheels and lo and behold I found some that came with original Yokohama AVS-ES 100 tires so they were brand new and very fresh! Guy had them in storage from the original car because he didn't like the tires! (guess he didn't know you could switch the tires out or something?)



Putting them on it was soo wide!




The Offset is on point as well



I agree with everyone who says its the best OEM wheel for these cars




Thought I would split these posts up:

So also I had set if an ITTT Channel with Pushbullet, and behold the fruits of my Labor!



 Am I JDM now? ( I'll count it in my head)



Yes Ladies and Gentlemen!
Found, Offered,Picked up, and Installed in 28 Hours! 



Getting rid of those pesky bolts!

Look at the pipe difference!



BOOM!



Dem Bolts!



Resonator (for concerns of Skirmich lol)



Ohhh yea



And now I need that low low low



But before we get there, one more thing...


Well here is that one



Last



Thing



I will do a new upload when I get these ready.

But yea I need the low. But these came in un expected and we're too good to pass up. I can deal with the not low as long as I can outpace other people :P
and I kinda want to clean up the engine bay.
did an entire steering fluid flush. OH! I forgot to upload that! My steering fluid froze up last winter and DE activated my power steering for a few days. As soon as it for warm I flushed it out. And I want to put some nice clean coolant and filtered water in.
