Loving the turn signals. Not a big fan of the exhaust.

I feel you on the curb rash. I have about a 2" patch on my right rear.

thanks... the turn signals i got on ebay... real cheap... apparently not painted like the others you get... so it doesnt give a crap effect... only problem was they didnt fit right in... i had to slightly modify them (after digging one out of my headlight housing)

and yea im looking into upgrades on the rims... almost fished out the money to get one stock rim... but im holding myself back

Nice car dude ! Cool name too. I'm a Chicago Bears and Cubs fan. Always have been, but I've always lived in North Carolina, lol. Love my chicago teams though.


Sweet ride. I hope to get me a tC soon. My marriage is kinda screwed up right now and I've got 2 kids, so all that is hard on the wallet. lol

and yes, 311 is awesome !!

later

haha im afraid to get the tints... i have to back my car into the driveway normally... as close as possible to the side... we have alot of cars in the driveway... all i need is to not be able to see well out of the back and bump into another car

also... im having problems with blind spots in the mirrors while driving... so i physcially have to turn my head and check out the back/side windows


we will see... maybe ill get a light tint

I hear ya. You don't have to get limo, you can get like 30% in the rear and the sides... just something to darken it up a bit. Its amazing how much difference it makes.

Here is my maxima all 311'ed out. I'm still waiting for the release of the license plate so I can put it on my tC. Yea I'm a little obsessed....



Anyway back to ChiTown's tC... I like the silver bulb. I think some of the little things like that can make a car stand out a lot. With the tint I just got 20% and sometimes it is a little dark for me, like on a cloudy day I have to turn my lights on to see my guages well, but over all it looks soooooo sweet. Go with something you are more comfortable with like 35% which is still pretty dark, but you can see a lot better. ANYWAY keep it clean bro and lower that BSP immediatly!

PEACE!
