Is that how much you have spent so far? I mean welcome..... but be prepared to be told to lower the car and get rid of the rims. Its koo if its your style cuz thats what matters but im sure most wont like. You sound like you like to mod, you'll have plenty of fun on here.

It does look classy, but after having lowered almost all my cars, I have a hard time with them not low. Coilovers would be the best blend of maintaining a luxury comfortable ride and a nice look. Tein SS, specifically.

Great job though so far! Why so much for a stock color paintjob? Why did it need one?

I actually had the guy mix the paint with a little bit more silver so its a tad lighter than stok LGM . Ill look into those coil overs. Future mods are exhaust and a sarona roof wing. And oh yes it will be dropped

I come from the Muscle car crowd I still have my 5.0, so I never saw myself lowering my tl and doing all this stuff. But when U have this car the only way to do it right is to do it this way. Its not rice if you do it right man, trust me lil by lil youll get it.

first thing, we are not bashing, we are just giving u our ideas on what we would do or what we thing looks good.

imo, the rims dont go with the car, belong on a buick or something.

lol...
touring luxury.. get it right..
and thats just a name.. doesn't mean anything to how it looks..

so sensitive you are..

if you've noticed, i don't bash on everyone here.. its just what people claim to be they are that i've bashed on.

and most of the times, i've given my opinion to what they've asked for.

Public forum that'll give their opinions..

i gave my opinions.. and you took it seriously and very...... childishly...

grow up. learn to just not mind what some people post on here. its the internet.

DEBO--- bottom line is that you like your car. I like it because you do. It will look nice with those wheels once lowered.

Dont sweat these forums. I love AZine but if your not lowered, have a lip kit, wheels, and a spoiler people will always say you need to do this and that.

Do your car up the way you want too. Dont do it for anybody on here unless they send you money to pay for the mods. If your earning the money spend it how you want.

Enjoy AZine and all its information. There are some very knowledgable people on this forum and tons of information.

I like the color BTW.


sidenote.......ATLP is the best exhaust you can buy for these cars.

The rims will look good once the car is lowered... and remember cars always look higher in pics.. I think these rims arent photogenic, but in real life arent as bad as we think

rims are ugly IMO... 1200 is way too much for those

i dont think i've ever heard anyone refer to a rim style as "rice" either

good luck with your modding.. the more help you may need.. the more critisizm you are gonna take. have a good attitude no matter what people say and their actions will reflect that...

Those aren't what people would call luxurious... and it's not a matter of opinion... wait hold on, deja vu...

LOL don't say anything you don't know anything about. Now you're just trying to get back because you felt offended by people's comments. The ATLP's ARE something to boast about.

Just cuz something says it's luxurious doesn't mean it IS luxurious... people say they sell authentic products, when that's completely bullshit, but it sells because people like you believe in that kind of stuff.



In the end... stating your opinion on someone's comment is up to you, but don't go attacking them just because they don't agree with you.

welcome to the forum Check out the DIY thread in the main 2G section of the forums. Lots of good stuff there.

You came to the wrong place if you want to be different, lol. Dont get offended. jjashaa only approves of wheels that say BBS, Volk or something he has had on his car in the past or present. lol.. If you had a spray painted hood you would be good to go...

My Drop the car, get a lip kit and spoiler- youll be good to go. The wheels arent my cup of tea, but to each his own. If you like them thats all that matters. Youre the one driving the car, not anyone else.
