Cool slammed TL on 19's finally built

Here are some pics of my car built.
W/W Kit
Nex coilovers
Racing Hart Z500 (19")
Alpine CVA 1000 Screen/ V12 amp/ a ZR 12 subs
AEM CAI
STR Dress up under the hood
Clear front lights
Inspire Tail Lights
Rear Door handles in the front.
Swapped Black for Tan Interior.
And I am just getting started.
These are some pics at a show I was at. The front is at the height I drive at and the back is slammed to the bottom.

That thing is tight! Almost makes me wish I would have bought a TL rather than a CL. Definately the nicest TL I've seen on here yet. How wide are those rims? What offset are they? What size tires are you running? Did you have to roll the fenders at all?

ok...i'm gonna be really honest with you...you've put a lot of money into the car, it's nice, but way overdone.

To me the TL needs chrome 19" rims. The drop is why too excessive, I know you got coilovers and it was for the show, so I give u the benefit of the doubt on that one.

Those stickers on the rear window, gotta go. Get rid of em. Everything else is pretty cool though. You got a phat ride. Nice color and except for the dookie rims and stickers car is very clean.

I would hardly call it the nicest TL here, Blackshadow's TL is alot better IMO, I'm comparing the two b/c they are both black...There are so many nice TLs here. But don't get me wrong he's got a phat TL, but again not the nicest...I'm not hating...

I like the look of bronze on black! I think your daily driving height is a bit too low! You're still getting a lot of toe-in on the rear wheels!

Not what I envision my car looking like, but yours is not mine. I'm sure you've put quite a bit of $$ and work into your ride; and if it is how you want it, that's what counts. Some good pics.

Yet, as long as you like it.

I think your rims are tight, eith with bronze, chrome or even silver for that matter.

But honestly I think the slammed look is a bit over done. I don't like it when the car is too low that it covers the tires. If it covers part of the wheel, then I don't like it... But again, that's me.

If you lift your car a bit, then I will say that it's PHAT, more like phat for, now...

Still props to you if you really drive like that on the street. Don't come to Toronto cuz that will kill your car...

Nice. Any plans to plate the door handles, and trim a different color, like bronze to match the wheels, or gold? I think they have a copper tint that would look nice, too.
Mine is Diamond White, and I plan to get white wheels (not sure 18s or 19s) like the Prelude in your pic, but a different style. I'm still looking...

Contrary to what others have said. I actually like the car. But then again I am into the Import Tuner look.

I really don't know what kind of look you were going for but i don't think thats a great look for the TL ride.. its not the kind of car that i would try i project like this one for the street crediblity ride. But hey its your dollars and you do with your money as you wish... like they say different strokes for different folk i guess.

All the stickers are sponsors huh? Why do you have a DUBs sticker on your rear window?? They sponsored you?? Last I checked 19's didnt qualify.

Man you came here with a car that looks like that with those rims in that color and that drop and you didnt expect any negative comments in addition to the positive ones??? Grow up!!!!!!!! Your maturity level is showing.

Also those weight savings you proudly displayed dont mean jack$hit on your car cuz you cant drive faster than 2mph for fear of cracking your oilpan along with other vitals right in half. What kind of speed could you ever get that car up to??

THAT car

the rims arent my style, and the drop is a little extreme (I understand its for show), but I judging by your stats, I bet the interior is dope.

You should post some inside pics so we can see how you did your install on the AV equip.

I give you respect for modding. But if you post on a forum expect to get negative comments. What you may like, someone else may not like and vice versa. If you want to be happy do what you like, if you want to make others happy do what they like. Dont forget you are driving the car not anyone else.
