Sorry man, your window tint looks nice though. I would say stick with the Lexus tips and hire somebody to install them. I'm thinking the red wheels could be an anti-theft tactic in case in case the car doesn't have wheel locks- couldn't imagine many people wanting stock red wheels.

The biggest negative of the car is the item that your showcasing. The fitment is way off for what you have to work with. I'd remove the base tips and go with either the OEM Type-S exhaust, or customize an exhaust to fill in the exhaust cutouts in the bumper. This will greatly improve the aesthetics of the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, I do like your decision to go with the black/red combination, but one must remember that there is a fine line to where things can go from nicely defined to downright overkill. For many of us, our vehicles are extensions of our personalities. Not quite sure what your car is telling me here... I'd be willing to bet that you're a fungai ("fun guy", get it?)...

Ok. Since I gave you a negative review on something, I think it's fair that I note something positive about your ride. I do like the location of your auxiliary fogs. Not sure if I would use the same application, but I like the idea. I'm not very familiar with what's behind those plastic vents, but I'm thinking something recessed behind them if there is room to work with. I'm guessing that it's pretty tight quarters in that area, and the only way something like this would work would require some cutting of the vent piece, or removal altogether, neither of which is an option for me.

Anyways... Happy motoring, and thanks for sharing your car with us (for better, or for worse).

Well three mods that you have done right are: headlights, type s smoked rear side lights, & window tints . Everything else & all that red is .

OP, I am not going to join the hoardes bashing you, but simply leave it at this - it's YOUR car, mod it YOUR way. You're going for a Red/Black combo which CAN work! Just gotta redo some things!

I dont know guys i think if he took the red wheels off it wouldn't look so bad but the wheels definitely ... throw it on the wrong side of the border
(also, OP i would move the fog lights to more of the out side ends of the intake/gill thing rather than in the middle, it just looks off to me)

Man, lose all that red shit, put stock silver wheels back on it and cruise in a sweet TL again. Ugh

It was funny my wife walked by my computer as I was looking at the pictures and her exact words were "what the fuck is that" lololol


Unbelievable!

it may have been better if you went with a darker shade of red, but you have too much random red everywhere, confusing. The only time i like seeing red tips is only if its spitting out flames lol. Red and black can work it just needs a lot of work lol. Oh and by the way were those ninja turtles by any chance?

Some mods were done right, but buying stuff at Pep Boys and putting it on your car actually decreases the value in this case(IMO). Turtles in the half shell!

Out of every post on this page only a select few of you offered the OP any advice. The rest of you all repeated the same ol shit, "Drive it into the river." Instead of just hating, add some advice. And "slam it" is not advice. Slam it is probably one of the dumbest comments possible and judging by most of the avatars of the people hating you don't "mod" any better.

Some of you guys get way too personal with your opinions.

"Burn your car"? Really? Do you think your opinion really is that valuable?
