    like i said before, good choice. doesnt really need much.....



    other than a sweet CAI and headers so we can hear the VTAK!!!

    or as Sean so eloquently refers to it, the Chewbacca!

    Which you said you may remove. Does it at least have that valve so water won't get in it (name of it escapes me right now just like many other things)?

    What year?

    Now get you a Pink Floyd DSOTM DVD-A and enjoy that sound system! You can hack into that screen too and watch TV with an external tuner.

    durrrh... lol

    It does have some torque steer when getting on it, but it's not like it snaps...it's not so bad. It's pretty much the complete opposite of the RS in terms of comfort, noise, POWER, etc. I'm digging it, that's for sure!

    That's all that matters. I fell in love with COMFORT with the M3. If I wanna go fast I'll hop on the RC51 :)

    Congratulations that is a nice distinguished looking ride.Did the 2.5 stay in the area?



    Bypass valve. Make sure it has one or don't drive through small lakes in the pouring rain until you install one.

    Bypass Valve. Lulz. (K didn't read J_P's post... Lame.)
    And too bad it was already "modded". Butttt, oh well.
    Great car. I always liked the TL Type-S.
    Now... Time to Panda it. CF Hood, trunk, you NAME it. Lol

    I prefer this "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict"
    The neighbors tend to leave you alone if you play this on the outdoor speakers at 4:00am too.

    I've got about 6 gigs of DTS music that'll play in those. My parents have an 05 TL and Queen and the gorillaz sound pretty awesome in it. I have it copied on Drew's comp so next time you're by there you should make a disk.

    wait, what!?

    I was just in Durham and a blue RS rolled up next to me on the highway. I was jokingly thinking it was your ride. Man, it could have been. Was it stock looking?
     
  43. Matt

    Matt Think before you post Staff Member Supporting Member

    looked identical to how I had it before, minus the headlights. wheels, grill, etc were on it.

    Alex and I put a tinted vinyl on the headlights about a month ago or so.

    Slade and I did the black vinyl roof this afternoon. 3M has some great quality stuff. :D

    Big thanks to Alex for helping out with the headlights

    HUGE thanks to Slade for doing this for me. I'm digging it, big time!
