Painted grill & tails

Here's a shot of my grill again...just painted it black. Also put on my front lip today.....yes, it's black for now until I get the rest of the kit and get her re-painted.




How does my @$$ look??? Haha.



Anyone ever seen a two-toned TL? I might do something different with her when I get the body work done. Show me some pics if you have...

Yeah, I might do that later...for now, I just wanted to be different....
I wonder if there will be other types of tails to choose from in the future?

no, they don't affect the sound at all...it's just something i decided to get to replace one of my tips that was damaged. it's hard to find pairs where i'm from....

what do u mean by blacking out the bottom part? pls explain.

as for the reverse lights, i'm thinking of putting them on a rear spoiler -- maybe in place of the brake light itself or on the sides...

nice front lip, do you think leaving that black would look good? IMO it looks good right now.

thats not my car, it belongs to one of the AZ members. I have installed rockblocker on my friends 3rd gen TL and it took a lil bit of time and patience but it wasnt complicated. As far as i know there is no reason it wouldnt be street legal, the light still comes through

Those tails you got goin on right now look kinda weird if you ask me. Why would you do that to them. I can understand properly black out tails.
