Question New Look, what you think?

Decided to let go of the hyped-up chrome look and go a lil more kinda mature sophisti-look. What y'all think..?
PS, Sorry bout the cheap HP camera lol.

While skating on chrome Mangels...

Your car looks nice but in my opinion the spindles on the last set of wheels are too narrow for the TL. Not a bad look though...

I don't like either of them, they are too small. if you want to run 17's stick with the OEM type S wheels. Maybe if you drop it it would look better.

edit: nice quads

Drop it, get rid of 17's and lose the quad tips, just my opinion.

Swap Gold Emblems to Silver, 02-03 tails, DROP, rid of quad exhaust, rid of pinstrip, and old rims are better!

I like the new rims more, but will say they will look better once you drop the car a bit lower. Also the chrome door molding is way too :blingbling: for the TL, and IMO any car for that matter. But a drop and an 02-03 tailight conversion would set it your car off in the looks dept. Just my opinion, car still looks good either way.

I think the chromes looked better than the current ones and I'm not a big fan of chrome on a TL to begin with, a drop would be a big improvement even if you were on steelies, might want to spend a few bucks (or limbs) on trying to match the lip kit to the rest of the car, it pierced my eyes at some angles (thats the only reason I'm keeping my NGP and not getting a WDP.)

peoples taste seems to be age dependent. if u painted them black, some kids would say "how good they look" while older peeps would say thats hideous and hard to look at.

i think your car looks good and it's a good start to what you're trying to accomplish. like many others have said tho, i still like the chromes better. i think if you drop your car another inch or two it will make things look a lot better.

the body and kit looks great - just needs to be lower.

Thanks guys for the input, truly appreciate it. I guess next mod will be to drop it like its not! (Assclown...do you still have the kit..? We might need to talk) Dunno about the wheels, good thing I still have the chrome set with its own tires lol.

Proly over the weekend Im gon go see if I can find the silver emblems and 02-03 tails from the salvage yards. But it seems like my "A" at the back is smaller though than Ive seen in other cars...is it jus the 99TL? And yup, Im gonna listen, chrome door mouldings will be gone as soon as I step outside from here lol.

It's just amazing how much attention you guys pay to detail, blows ma mind! Like someone noticing the quads though not at such an obvious angle, chrome door mouldings, gold emblems, etc (Im sure someone will tell me wat my tags read next). Keep it up fellas, much luv!
