Chrome grill is custom. Take off the parts and send em to a harley chromer...

Eyebrows...? really? My opinion is no.
Excellent headlights, why distract from that.

The TL does not look good with chrome exterior parts, IMO.

they're not haters... they're just expressing their own opinions... everyone on this site understands that its ur car & ur going to do what u want. but u cant ask for opinions & then be mad at the responses.....

but good luck on looking for ur stuff.... just search through the forum & you will find what ur looking for

the billet grill will have to be a custom thing they dont make those for our cars
the eyelids.... do a search theres a thread on them

SEEK & YOU SHALL FIND!!!!

Chrome grill you will have to disassemble it and take it to a chromer. Eyelids or eyebrows you will have to make them custom. I havent seen any TL's on this website with them. Except this one, and i will tell you this much, yes it does effect how much light comes out of the headlights. I cant wait to get my fogs done so that i can have more lighting. Two more sets of HID's coming so it should help.

FYI...he didn't ask for opinions. If you go with the type-s grill I think you'd have to get the whole bumper.

Yes, you do have to remove the whole rear bumper. I unfortunately did it twice since I put Type-S tail lights on and then 3 months later bought the A-Spec body kit.

There is no possible other way to remove the taillights than removing the bumper? that seems crazy to me....where do you buy this a spec kit? as well where can I get a aem or k & n intake for under $300? I want short ram since i live in canada and it snows..

only way ur getting them tail lights o even head lights out for that matter is by taking the bumpers off.... or unscrewing them and fighting to get ur hand in there with a rachet... but either way.... u basically have no choice but to remove them.... you'll have to do the same thing too when u go to put in u cai or ram

you dont have too, but its much easier to remove the stock components with the bumper off. i installed my CAI without removing it, but for the lights its a must.

and welcome


and yes, there is not a ton of stuff out there for the TL, alot is $$ and the other stuff is custom. welcome to our world

As mentioned, it's not the SRI install, so much as the stock resonator removal.

You can get at it through the wheel well. Just peel the lining back, but it'll be harder to access. Thats the trade off on removing the bumper. Might be worth it for a short ram. For a CAI, maybe not so much.

Bumper is pretty easy to remove though.

i can get the chrome grille from the source (its not who ur thinking guys) and they are INSANE quality...... the eyelids have to be painted or made or vinyled.....ive made them and they always rip off. vinyl would leave glue on the headlight and with temp changes it would come out from the edges n always look dirty....no thanks lol
