Wheels or Drop?

Hey guys i have had my 2000 tl now for about a year and all I have done really is tint. I am dieing to just get everything finished that I want now but I have to take one step at a time. I would like some opinions on what you would do next? I am mainly thinking Drop, RIMS, or OEM body kit? thanks guys

Don't get wheels and not drop your car..it's pointless. It's like getting a bodykit and putting it on your car w/o painting it...looks nasty! :p I'd say Kit, then do rims and drop. My .02

I'd say go for 17 wheels with tires, stockers on the tl look pretty lame imo.

Just to add another relevant question...my '99 is stock, boring. Has anyone seen our ride with it lowered - Im thinking the Tein springs, without a body kit? I really dont want to spend all that money on a kit. Im also thinking about getting some type s rims... 16's suck.

aight thanks for the suggestions guys. You all seem to agree with my room mates who both have lowered cars. The drop comes first. How does HR sport drop sound with Koni yellows? thanks guys

I say drop, kit then wheels. Drop should always come before anything. There might be a lot of headaches later on if you get wheels before drop. Do a search and you'll see why

Rims before drop make you look riceish. DROP that thing first, it'll look pimp even with ur 16's, then get some new rims on her. Then if you have enough space to the ground, slap a body kit on there
