wooo tough crowd. No harms done to me. I think the my conversion is nice. I am not going to elaborate more on the my project but once again thanks everyone for their comment, good and bad. I enjoy the conversion and think it looks nice. Maybe its the pic or the angle, I have been staring at my car and so have my friends and everything LINES UP right.. I am not making a case for my car or try to defend my car in anyway, but I just think the pic dont do the conversion any justice but its ok if you guys dont like it and think its ugly. Hope I didnt hurt anyones eyes? Anyhow, thanks again for the comments.

woooo!!
imo I think the front end conversion is cool, and I dont mind the sideskirts... but that sarona bumper is definately out of place. just remember to get everything lined up right again haha
It IS your car though! so whatever you like is all good.

i think what Slammed did with his car is pretty cool. the alignment issues dont look TOO bad, i think its just the splitters on the bottom makes it look alittle weird, but it works. i love his whole car, just the rear bumper looks too fat. i think the stock rear + lip wouldve been perfect, but to each his own. awesome work on it though. gotta love that you got money for that kind of work!

conversions are cool. but is not done properly, its totally wack
you said your friends look at it and say that its all lined up and looks good... i dont think so. its easier to see those things in real life then in pictures. ive done conversions on other peoples cars. my first one was at 16 on a crx and we put supra tail lights on em. not my cup of tea, not my car, but if a customer wants it, then so be it.
whomever did your car did a really shotty job. you still havent told us if you paid for it or not.
your located in socal right? as am i. any chance i could take a look at it in person?

are you people blind or something? nothing fits right and all the panels mismatch in color. what the hell is wrong with you people?
either go get your money back or get them to fix that shit.
people waste all this money on a car only to get some shitty as work done. i hate the conversion, but if your're gonnn do it, at least let the workmanship be decent.

Everyone just need to lay off the guy at least he did something different and still post it up for you guys to see. and damm i'm getting sick of pplz post the same car and with the same kit everone has and you guys all leave good comments, come on it looks the same as everyones elses kit. No one has the ballz to do something different and when someone does he get flames for it.

How about Civics/Accords into Bimmers/Benz's? Or ever seen a MR2 converted into a Ferrari? It was one out of a milion which I've seen that actually turned out good. But man props for trying, it's just I think you should have just bought an IS300 if you like it THAT much that your willing to spend a $3k+ job done like that..

I give him credit for the creativity with the car, BUT I don't understand why you would make a TL look like an IS. Just buy an IS.
But hey, enjoy your car dude!

Thanks for all the comments guys and thanks for those that backed me up. Its ok guys no worries, they are just venting how they feel no harms done. I kno those that back me up are those who have done some DIFFERENT work to their TL's and just showing support, once again thanks! you kno who you are. As for the rest who likes the car, and think the car looks coo,Thanks for the compliments, glad some of you guys like it
As for those who dont, I thank you guys too for me to have a chance to build on some consturctive criticism. I know I cant please everyone but hey at least I like it and a handful of Tl'ers.
Anymore comments, good or bad, are welcomed!!!!

I'm Down Right Fierce!
Dang, guess no one is feeling you on the conversion SLAMMED_WDP_TLS.
But seriously, great job on the conversion.
Yes some parts dont line up, yes maybe its the angle of the pictures or whatever, but I thinks its awesome that you're brave enough to try something other than the standard 2nd Gen TL with the OEM Lip Kit. In my opinion it looks sweet, and I'm sure you'll be getting stares everywhere you go.
I myself am currently working on my white 2003 TL-S and talking with Mobworks to convert the front lights to that of the R34 GTR Skylines.
Anyway, don't take the flames to heart. Some people just dont know how to show etiquette when trying to criticize others.
Peace
