i understand some rims look good with chrome, but not feeling the wheels on your car. and the rice factor i was talking about was mainly the rims and the blue halo's.

don't get me wrong though.. everyone has their own style, which makes all of our rides unique but thats how im feeling. aren't your plans to go VIP?

i think mike (02actclean) executed his car nicely, same color as yours, chrome wheels (but they flow nicely).

To much crap on your car man, the curtains, the trunk lip, + the rear window spoiler, one or the other man, not both. And those wheels got to go..

the body of that car needs some TLC in several places...

the painted grille and cleared headlights leave no contrast on the front end. (but thats subjective)

the wheel style doesnt bother me as much as the size of them.
and the halos.......

OP a quick question....

why is your roof spoiler sitting so low....seems like its more on the window than the roof....

other than that....i think if you delete the rims + halo....the car will look sick....

I agree with rockstar, there needs to be some contrast up front. I mean not my kind of wheels but there not as bad as others.

Just from the comments you would think the post was about a ugly TL. I dont think its that bad. Not my style but deserves more compliments.

I commented in the slammed thread. To me it seems overdone, but I do like what you did with your grill. Looks good color matched.

if ur going VIP there is alot that needs to be done,

Halos need to go the chrome wheels u have I don't like them,

your old setup like everyone else said is 545121245451 times better then this...

I'm not a fan of the egay trunk spoiler thing, or the halos, but to each their own. The wheels aren't my style, but since the car is hammered, they dont look too bad.

I like the grill minus the mesh being painted too, the center bar of the lower part is cool though. The side marker lights should be blue as well with those halos.
