The gold theme isnt too bad with a NBP. Nice start with the 02-03 tails.

I definitely plan on lowering it sometime in the future but I kind of like the gold theme and stripe, looks good on black and is unique. I may get rid of the lettering in the rear.

like everyone else said, get rid of the pinstripe. it'll make your car look a whole lot better trust me. your car looks very clean the way it is already. you're one of the lucky ones with the oem kit on that body. i would say invest in suspension and you're set.

Nice looking car! If I were you, I'd get some gold rims, which would really set off the lettering. Also, I would recommend debadging it, and then replacing your "A" from the back with a larger one from the 02-03 TL.

looks good. If you want black and gold theme, then the front grill (chrome part) need to change to gold also. Get some gold rims, lower, and it should look unique! I think the car might look good with gold theme, but definitely unique if you decide to go that way.

Interesting suggestions guys. I don't like gold rims at all plus the rims that are on it have the gold emblems; better in moderation I say. I'm really not looking to push the gold, it's just a detail.

The car originally came with a blacked out grill except for the emblem, it looked good but I replaced it because it was in really bad condition. I'll probably remove the lettering, lower it and maybe remove the pinstripe. That stripe is actually two slim stripes that merge at the tips, not something I've seen before. It is a decal haadooken; most things tend to stick out on black, car gets dirty easy.

Btw, I love your car LacViet.

Yea, that looks a lot better. Where was this location that you took the pictures? What else you have planned besides the lowering?

Those shots were taken in downtown Phoenix on the top of the Garage Mahal, across the street from Chase field.

My only other plans are to replace the interior lamps with LEDs, maybe upgrade the stereo to the 02/03 and get the car repainted or repaired since someone did a shitty job before I took ownership. The paint is peeling and bubbling particularly on the driver side and bumper which you can't see in the pictures. It's not too bad at this point but it's getting worse.
