Looks awesome man! I'm lovin the painted door handles. I never thought about doing that with my previous 01 ABP CL-S.

Those wheels just don't do your car justice anymore though. Get your hands on a set of 04-06 TL wheels and it will look DOPE, especially with that drop

Good News and Bad News

So after 9 long months my new wheels have been painted and are on the car. Unfortunately the is a pretty bad rubbing issue due to me not having my fenders rolled. for now the car is parked and will remain so until i can fix this problem.

On the bright side however, i am very pleased with the look of the wheels and they seem fit pretty flush. so other than rubbing the are exactaly what i wanted.

Better pics will be up as soon as i can drive to a location to shoot

Let me know what you think.















I also re-opened my headlights and painted them black.
