lookin reaaaal niceeee. just out of curiosity, would it be cheaper to trade in for the 02-03 or do the conversion? i may one day think about one of the two. i like the way the 02 front looks. very agressive!!

if i remember correctly, your insurance paid for it right... so how much do you have to pay out of your own pocket for misc. stuff to do the conversion..>

sorry to nit pick, but your driver's side skirt looks loose. I can see a little bit of light coming through below the front of the driver's door in the rim pic. Might wanna check that.

i need to drive my car everyday and practically everywhere, they just arent too practical, plus i love the look of type s wheels, i hate having to worry about every single pothole and driving like 2 mph everywhere i go...

Starting to like the WW on the TLS more and more. Makes it more aggressive. More so than the 99. Man kinda regret my front end conversion. NOT! J/k already stated from me. looking sharp
