The more I see it, the more I'm not liking that kit. But car is still looking very elegant!

They really fucked up the kit. Love how the rear kit wraps around the reflectors. Lol

Thought I'd have to wait awhile for a build thread; those Vossens look good on the 5g.

We are working with an aftermarket company, possibly to create a big-brake kit for this TLX project.

Wow this looks great. I know I already made a suggestion about cutting out places for using 05-08 RL or S2000 exhausts but you should also file the edge of the lip kits down so they look more integrated into the bumper for a cleaner look. Also, why not do a 6-speed manual swap? Lol

Do you know if RV6 J pipe fits? What about 3.7 intake manifold? That may change the power band though since this j is direct injected and likely has a tuned 3.5 intake manifold vs the regular/ older 3.5s

The carbon fiber inlay looks great. Body kit not so much, it gets worse every year.

But looking forward to more mods!
