MXV4 and HVMXM4's completely SUCK.
If you want to stick with american brand names, most people do, then you should go Michelin Pilot Sport (a/s or not a/s up to you) or Bridgestone S-02/03.
Otherwise, Kumho 712, Sumitomo, Yoko, Nitto, all make a much better tire than the garbage stock michelins for half the price.
MXV4's and HXMXM4's are N-O-T a performance tire, yet they are on a performance car... WTF?????
And the Bridgestones on the '04 really leave something to be desired.
Stay away from no-name's like Hankook, general, and the "supposed to be just ad good" names like Dunlop ect.
Buy a mustang, use BFG's, buy a Porsche, buy Pilots, otherwise, its open game ehehhehe...

WTF mesh grilles look awesome when combined with mesh on the fogholes. Mugen its cooler but too much $$.
(meshing airden, fogs and grill maybe too much)
MINIMUN SPEED 15mph OVER THE LIMIT

NO STICKERS ALL OVER THE ENGINE

yeah, stickers haphazardly placed all over the engine might be a lil ricey, but strategically placed ones are alright in mine
Mugen Grille = the shit

Dude, that car is TITS, and everyone here knows it. The hood scoop, grill, and quad tips need to get the fuck off that car, but otherwise, thats one hell of a good looking TL. UniqueTL and this TL are now my 2 favorite show cars... But what the hell was this guy thinking... Sony Xplode audio? That was fukin stupid... Must have been a sponsor...
OOOHHHH!!! and glad to see someone else with a TL has my wheels and can get some props other than "yeah i have those too"

Ok, this is a bit different than the "ricer" type mods I've been seeing so far, but the UR Crank pulley is something you should do some serious consideration on before you put it in... Here's some food for thought on the UR Crank Pulley:
