Besides all of this i found a new front lip for the TL on Ebay i was just wondering if anyone has installed it on there car and how it looks.

I saw that lip on Ebay too, there is a picture of a guy tying it in a knot. That can't be good. There is this one on Ebay too, I only have the item number though.


Item number: 120092271246

Not my bag, but as long as you like it! I like the wheels on the car next to yours. They remind me of the 19" M3 wheels.

I just looked at it one more time and do you have an ASPEC Rear lip that is fused on to the rear bumper? Looks kind of sick!

i have my grill painted pretty much the same way except mine is flat black and is flaking off cause i just used spray paint. where did you get yours painted and how much do you think it would cost me to get it done there. I would be interested in just getting the front painted a matte black and also maybe the rear aluminum part above the plate.

The parts were painted on Real AutoBody on Oxnard and Kester. Those guys are very good in what they do and 30+ years of experience.

re

The liscence plate in black looks HOT but im not digging the grill bro, maybe too much black, maybe it would look better in like anthracite, i find it make too much contrast, the important is that you like it

not sure about the aliminum blacked out, but....

I have been thinking about painting the gray plastic on the center grill to match the body color. I have seen it donw on several cars, but not on the Anthracite. since it is already a dark gray, I think the change would be minor enough that it would look good on mine.

Course I am also the one who has been thinking about doing the ssame to the lower grills for a while.

I'm really liking that back end, esp. the exhaust tips. What is the width of those tips, did you have to enlarge any part of the bumper cutouts?

Good luck on the wifey too! I bet she's hoping you don't change girls like you change car mods!
