Have you seen this TL????

I subscribe to this mag. But when i saw this tl i wanted to cry. Love the stereo but not the wheels. For each his own. But i thought you guys would like to see who knows someone might like it and get an idea from it.

dayam, thats a clean install. I usually dont like chrome or spinners, but those with the white background kinda work with that car. I kinda like it.

This car is local to my area. He came out one night to the Wed. night meets. The car has a ridiculous amount of aftermarket parts. Nice guy.

I am not a fan of spinners, but they look cool when the car pulls away and the wheels don't spin. It looks like the car is gliding along the road.

Is that an aftermarket wood-effect kit? I don't recall seeing anything like that as a dealer option. Regardless, it looks REALLY nice. I'm not really into the whole "Pimp my ride" kind of thing, but that's a very clean install. Very slick...

I'm pretty sure this is a from earlier this year, around Feb or so. Anyway you can also view the TL at the Project Two website.

Wheels are nice but kind of clash for some reason, but everything else

The wheels look like plates with rims clipped at the edges.

bluenoise, thanks! I searched and couldn't find it. Didn't even think of using "ugly" for a keyword. That's good! lol

The Alpine multimedia manager (PXA-H700) is in the center console where the cup holder used to be.

The wheels would be nice if there was no white in them. The chrome parts alone would make a nice looking normal wheel.
