Meaning Behind the Name
I give my cars their names based on their colors. My silver TL is"Silvie". My old gold turbo civic is"Goldie". My blackTSX's name is "Blackie Chan". It's just a thing I do.

Original Cost
$4500
Build Cost
I've put around $10,000 into Silvie.
What was the inspiration?
I've always loved the 3rd gen TL's ever since they came out back in 2004. I could leave the car stock so it has turned into what it is today. I've built the car the way I wanted and not by what others have done.
How long did it take you to build?
2 years
How long have you been building?
I have been building the car now for about 2 years. It's always a work in progress so I'm sure there will be more to come in the future.

Your future plans?
Want to get some "Baller" 3pc wheels and maybe be a wrap on the car.
