Not my cup of tea, reminds me of GSR blades for some reason. With a drop it will probably look a little better.

Needs a drop and it'll look pretty nice.

And I love the side markers, but I'm just a little bit too scared to cut into my fenders.

I bought it from my friend, so it is not totally brand new especially have been sitting at garage for 2 years......

Also speaking of lowing my car, I can't since I drive to many job sites for my work everyday.....including loose gravel, unfinished Rd, bumpy off-Rd etc....this is not an option for now....

For the rest of the kit, the pricing is ridiculous for just small pieces...so i might just leave it for now.........

The General Exclaim is actually better for wet Rd conditions than the OEM MXM4 tires based on what wheel website said......

i think with a serious drop it might look ok. ill be optimistic and say its got potential. its your car man if you like them then thats all that matters no need to listen to us.

I think your car needs more contrast since everything is whited out. i think some blacked out headlights might be good.

I've always liked those, looks like they need to be cleaned though. Too bad you can't drop it...

Not bad. If they were bigger and you were dropped it would look pretty good. Unique to say the least.

Needs the rest of the kit.

I am open to any comment (+ / -) that's why i posted it under this page. I totally agree with the contrast thought for my TL.....and I did think about doing blacked headlight myself.

However ppl have been talking about issues from doing it with their own like moisture issue and I don't have a lotta tools anyway etc....and paying some shops to do is also NOT worthy at all........

eh just grow a pair and do it. just use clamps to seal it. if you find moisture just open it and reseal it. once you do it once you can do it as many times as u need. i have done like 5 sets which includes mine and ones for friends.
