sorry man but nothing on your car is ltuned, they only made shocks, springs, grill, side skirts, exhaust and I think that's it.

Well , then I just don`t know how I ended up with the L-Tuned badges .
The intake kit is an SRT w/ ECU , I still have the install manual
Anyway , I do remember spending a ton of money on this car , that I remember well, lol ... !!!

I used to be a member many years ago , around the time I bought the car . Then , after a couple of years I got involved in other things , etc and never went back to the forum , until now .
Perhaps you can find my SS mufflers ... SRTs early model maybe ? man , my memory is a disgrace sometimes .
Here are some pics :

Oh yea, I have a couple sets of TEs. The black pair on the front is from the rear of my 240. The tires on the hyper bronze SLs need to be flipped.

Those wheels look like they belong to a Hiace or something. 16's?
Not my cup of tea.

You need a massive drop to be able to pull those wheels off. I love me a white 2GS - but those wheels ruin it for me.

That said - it does look "functional" which I suppose is a hallmark of the street-inspired look.

Thats what I'm going for, slamming it to the ground in few months, also getting rid of the "cups" in the middle. Think it will look better then.

Thanks for your opinion
