Suggestions for my TL....?

Alright so I own a 2005 Burgandy TL...I took off the car bra....and the sunroof visor. But I want to change the chrome rims and maybe black out my headlight and taillight. I already have a 15 percent tint on my car. Can anyone give me suggestions on what I should do to my TL? What rims? What color? New tires? Where to get headlight and taillight tint? Any other Exterior items? Any interior items? New gadgets? I would greatly appreciate your help...

Since your in the mood of taking things off ( bra & sunroof visor) take off those BSM's while your at it. If you are looking for a body kit get an ASPEC or ronjon. I personally don't like the stock rims chromed like that. If you look at the tires & wheels section or even the photograph gallery you could get a lot of ideas for replacements tires/wheels. Also, go to the "sponsored sales and groub buys" section in the off topic section of the site and look for some great stuff that interest you. Alot of folks w/ the 04-06 TL are getting the 07 Type-S tails and sidemarkers. This is only a start. Welcome to the forums. Happy modding

hey welcome and congrats on the TL. First of all it's redondo red. First thing, get rid of that infiniti frame on the license plate. Second get rid of the Body Side Mouldings. If you want, get the a-spec bodykit (an OEM option) or get the Ron Jon Kit. As well consider Ron Jon Rims, they look bueatiful and are not to expensive. As well they save weight. For tires, a popular choice has been the bridgestone potenza pole postions in 245/45/17 as it provides really good rim protection. For modding, what do you want, performance or looks first? There are alot of things that are subtle that can change the car feels or looks. anyway enjoy it

Things you should definitely take off,
- BSM (takes away from the overall look of the car)
- Mud guards (gives the car a feminine look IMO)
- Chrome stock wheels (all I can say here is NO)

Just put on the aspec kit and you car will look fine.
