My suggestion would be to get rid of the pin stripe!

Welcome and congrats! Where in NC are you located?

There are some assholes here, including myself sometimes , but for the most part everyone is willing to help and give feedback. Just make sure you check the 3G Garage before you create a new thread.

Looks like your TL is lowered! Or are my eyes deceiving me? And what else do you have planned for it?

Your headlights looks like they could use some love.

Everyone on here, including me, is going to tell you to remove that pin stripe. If you like it than keep it. Removing the pinstripe is easy and you don't have to worry about the paint being damaged during removal.

It'll be a hell of a lot easier to just remove the gold pin striping compared to getting all 4 of your wheel lip painted gold to match.....

I'm sure we could meet up sometime PM me if you want and we can try to find a halfway point.

As for the pinstripe, I don't think they look good on ANY car. Ditch that crap and focus your funds towards the A-Spec kit

Well, i know everyone is saying ditch the pinstripe, but do what you like! I'm not so much a fan of pinstripes in general but I'm trying to close my eyes & picture it with all gold wheels (not just the stripe), you might be able to pull that off! Just a thought.

Welcome to Acurazine, JM.

To make your life on AZ easier, the middle icon in the lower right hand corner of each post is a multi-quote button. This allows you to respond to more than one person in a single response.

Cheers!

Welcome to Acurazine, where there are about 15 people that know what they're talking about and the rest are fucking retards that only want to know what size wheels will fit on their otherwise unmodified car.

Get type S taillights!!! Best mod out there for a non type S 3G TL. I'm liking the rims, sometimes I wish my car was black. Tint for sure, and clear the headlights. I'm kind of new as well, and these guys peer pressured me to take off my pinstripe too. I eventually caved and did it, and I like it much better without.
