Thanks for all the love guys! It's been a little while since I updated my thread. Though it's hard to take a lot of pics when I drop insurance on the car and it sits in the garage for the winter, but I actually do have a little update....

Since it was too late last night to pull the car out and take some full body pics, I got up early today to snap some. I think the front may have to come down a tad since I opted for a 40 series tire instead of going with a 45, but not sure if lowering it 1/4 more is worth all the effort.

Thanks Steven! At first they weren't because we were actually in talks about me buying his Advan RS wheels that were on the S. However, they were just a tad too dark for my taste and didn't want to go through the process of powder coating them a different color in hopes to fall in love them. So I decided to go with the RPF-1 and once he saw them on the car, he loved the look.
Thanks Thanh!
I took it out for a little spin today. Mind you I live in NJ so it's pretty cold and I already dropped insurance on it so I really shouldn't be driving it, though I couldn't resist. From the little time I spent driving it around, everything felt great. The rims are so light and even with the double staggered setup it rode perfectly. I didn't get to do any highway driving to test for vibration, but it definitely felt smooth.
Honestly, I don't really have any build plans for it. Anything I would want done, J already accomplished in his period of ownership. I actually never even intended on buying rims because I loved the look of the OEM ones so much. But when J and I started talking about potentially buying his, it got me on the track of looking at other rims out there and I fell in love with the RPF-1 look. For the hell of it I even emailed a company not far from me about possibly doing a turbo or supercharger setup. However, both were going to cost about 11k to do so I quickly nixed that idea, lol. So basically besides the rims, I think the car is just going to stay as is.

As I'm a new guy I really have no input in this but I'm going to say it any way, gReat job with both vehicles. It's great to see someone from my neck of the woods sharing his car so openly. I know every spot that those pictures were taken of with your TL and you've done them proud. If you ever want to meet up and shoot the breeze, I would be honored.
