Nice rims, but don't like the kit -- the rear looks like a box

i was going to chrome dip them before the season hit but i had no time. But switching them with another cap is a no go. I've tried everything. I thought it would look alright because the red would match the brake lights at the back.

Yea im waiting for the exhuast. I ordered some Magnaflows to fill in the gaps. Im also waiting on the front lip. Im thinking of just putting the OEM lip on it cuz i heard WW is out of business!

Those wheels are nice... but the kit kinda degrades your ride imo... kinda look like an all out accord or civic for some reason...

I'm sorry, but the Sarona kit makes me want to hurl. It makes your back bumper 3x bigger than it really should be, and it even extends out from when you are looking at the car from the front. I do like your rims though. I'm surprised you're getting positive feedback about them because a lot of guys on here hate on the look of chrome wheels on the TL.

I dont understand why people dont like chrome i guess it depends on the model.. The chrome matches nicely with the trim of the car on the 02-03.
I kinda figured i would get alot of negative feedback about the kit. Alot of people here hate this kit, but thats everyones opinion. Im happy with the kit and i've gotten personal positve feedback and its different. But im not hating, everyone has his/her own opinion. Thx for the feed back.

Yeah, I def love the chrome rims. If you can talk to the dude that hooked you up with em and find out where he got em that would be great. Those are the best looking rims I've seen in a while, and I'd definitely buy them. How much were they btw?

Thanks buddy.....I got em in Toronto at a wheels place called wheels direct. My boy knows the owner. I got em for 2G's Canadian not including Rubber. I have no idea wat 2000 is in US currency. Here's the web site for wheels direct. http://www.wheels-direct.com/ . The site is MAD GHETTO but they hook up good deals in person.

Why did you go w/ the 99-01 Sorana kit? You own a 02-03 don't you?? IMO that kit looks a helluva lot better than the 99. You need exhaust BAD!

Looks good. I cant wiat until I get my car back with the sarona rear. I would lift the rear just a little so the rear bumper lines up with the sideskirts a little better. Looking good. yea A lot of people hate the sarona rear for some reason. Its big but WHo dont like a little cushion for the pushin you kno what aI mean.

Oh yeah. I havent seen a sarona rear with a wing yet. Its seems like if we put a wing like a flush mount or even just the factory might offset the rear bumper a little. what you think??

hey I give you props man...for being brave to post up the sarona kit, even though you know you were going to get negative feedback. I honestly think it looks decent. With the rims, it looks kinda of good. Just make sure you get a spoiler, tints, and exhausts and your set. Post pics up when you all done =)

Yea i was thinking of slammin the flush mount on it and very curious to see how that would look. Im thinking the same as you, it could throw off the offset of the rear bumper. I wish i knew how to use photoshop wicked, i would try it....

got mine used off ebay...it fits 99-03

And yea i think for 02-03 sarona rear the exhaust cut outs are circular so a quad exhaust wouldnt fit/look right.

its not.. THAT bad.. it could be worse. i guess its alot flashier than the other kits available for the TL, but its all up to the owner. good job for trying something different though!

the rims are hot.
