BTW, given my heritage, I gotta ask, is there a reference to your CL alias?

Anyway, here are some pix of my Back Onyx UL while at "The Persuit" at the raceway...
looking good jman, have you thought about shaving your fenders and spacing your wheels out?

That explains the alias then. You must have heard that saying a lot by your mom (assuming your mom's side is the Filipino side) or aunties while growing up...LOL

You still haven't posted yours yet. You must be planing something different huh. I can't wait to see

No current plans to shave. I personally don't want to go that aggressive. I want it simple and clean. Having to deal with fender mods is not worth it in my opinion. I say that now, but I am looking to getting new front wheel lips (barrels) with a smaller offset (33mm) so hopefully that will not result in any needed fender mods.

when I say fender mod, I don't mean a pull or anything crazy. I mean just to shave it down underneath that way it still looks oem/factory/stock.....that way you can run more aggressive offsets and less rubbing issues....(if you do it right)

as for me....I'm just wanting to take new pics to post.....I'm being lazy b/c of the weather, keeps raining.....but the pics will be soon....I promise.....

'carson L tuned' or 'lextasy' both offer the aftermarket grill without the L in it i believe or at least they did last i checked. bing it with google and you'll find either one of those sites pretty easy.
