Need some help with my TL

Hey guys, im new to the forum and need some help with my 05' TL w/ Navi, and ASpec kit.

Heres one picture of it, just trying to figure out what would be best to do to make the outside of it look nicer. Maybe black out the wheels? Headlights? Tailights? Any other suggestions would be great.
Thanks

Welcome!

To link a picture, upload it to a photo-hosting site and paste the [IMG] codes here.

Even though I can't see your car, I would suggest tinting the windows if you haven't already. It helps keep the car cooler during summer and it looks good.

I didn't read anything about about your car being lowered....If you have 20s a drop is a MUST, unless you want your TL looking like a DONK!

My personal opinion (in order):

1. New wheels/springs
2. Spoiler
3. Make grille black

Oh god please get new wheels. If you insist on having 20s at least drop it enough to not look like a 4x4. Unless you like that look.

I'd drop it 1.5-2" or whatever height you're comfortable with as long as you eliminate the wheel gaps
