Might sound like a weird question, but what size?

I swear, they're all either too big or too small.

^^^ Maverick, that looks awesome and clean dude. I use Mothers wash & wax. Here I was thinking my car was clean Guess I should think again LOL. What do you use on her?

I finally shaved my girl today (pun intended), it was a long intimate encounter in scorching 90 degree sun.


You guys pick a side, which way looks better? Right now I left it as what you see on the left.

And what do you think bout the key hole? It doesn't seem to stand out as much on my color, but still what would you guys do?

Hm, kinda like the burger. got one on the front and back and they're both modded burgers so I figured keep it.

oh and I think her rear looks a bit "naked" without it if you know what I mean

And removing burger = couple of holes in her rear, not good to have an open hole there

LOL yup! and thanks for chiming in dude me thinks I like the right side better myself.
Might do that today, only thing is to do the right side version like I want to gonna have to do another sterling mist color match on the burger like I did in front and that's a PITA tedious job but the result is nice IMO.

Anyone need a set of "MAXIMA" and "SE" badges (black chrome AE style) in great shape?

Congrats dude. Got a 5th & 7th gen as well, and that 7th gen is really nice and comfy and luxurious but if you wanna have fun I'm sure your 5th gen will remain the main option.

Why did decide to get another FWD car vs something truly powerful?

Isn't the gen 7 more of a sideways upgrade vs. a "upwards" upgrade

Well I've been looking off and on for a longtime. I was looking at G37's, and there was a plethora to choose from, but I just couldn't find the 'right' one. The one that seem to fit me. I also had a huge affinity for the 7th gen and wanted one for a while now anyway. After a while of searching, this one came up and it felt like the 'right' one for me. It sounds a little stupid perhaps, but that's how I would explain it.

However, there is nothing to say a couple years down the road, I don't just trade this one in and make a true upwards upgrade. Just not today. Besides, I have an eye out the Q50 hybrid...but they are way more than what I want to spend on a car right now.

Yeah! It's an awesome lookin car, pretty color. Most of the pain is okay but there are blemishes that are pretty bad at the rear corners from previous owners, (must not have know how to drive) and also the wheels have curb rash. But hey, for a first car, it ain't bad. Things I want to do to it. Tint windows, halos, New muffler, lowered.

The OEM HID work well. However simply put, the Quad setup outclasses it The OEM have a fuzzy cutoff, the intensity lacks (but we're also comparing 35w oem to 55w+35w quad. The OEM seems to get a good color flicker when viewing from the front. The setup could certainly a bit of tuning. Perhaps maybe swap out with an S2000 projector if it will fit.

S2000 or fully tuned RX330 will do the job.

Congrats dude, really nice looking car and awesome color.

But, something seems fishy to me about that 20th AE ^^^

Did anyone notice the chrome trim around the grill? That's supposed to be all black on any 5th gen SE, especially a 20th AE edition. Also, those don't look like AE headlights, far as I can tell those are aftermarket.

Definitely aftermarket looking from the picture.. could be glare though. .

As far as the grill.. maybe it was in an accident and the replacement grill surround was chrome (hence the use of aftermarket headlights as well?).

Hmmmm that's strange, the insides are all correct, it's got the perferated seats, different shift stick, drilled pedals, ect. I have more pictures here, and I have chrome trim around my Windows as well

Looking at those pics, I think King Ten was right ^^^

Those headlights are 100% not AE and you can see the fitment is not perfect on both the inside corners which also signifies aftermarket. So my guess is the car was in a front end accident at some point. But otherwise looks like a legit nice AE dude.

Center console trims were faded, sticky, and peeling too. Took the whole center console, stripped the paint, and painted low gloss black. The buttons and AC vents still have original color, oh well, I'm happy witht the result. Thinking of making short shifter next

Look at the bottom corner of the headlight lens and the casing, if they say Koito then it is OEM.
