Very nice. Are the 18's the chrome-look wheel or described as something else?

Love a clean WDP!

How about a front view? Would like to see how the TL looks with just the front lip.

Only front lip? Yes.
I first saw it on an '04 TL in an Acura showroom and kind of liked the look. I figured if it didn't work out I could add the sides and rear at a later date.
Verdict to date: Leaning toward keeping it as is.

Goodyears? Love 'em.
So far nice and quiet, although it will be nice to see how they handle once I get past the ~600 mile engine break in period (right now I am driving like a grandma). They definitely are quieter than the BS Potenza S-03's that I had on my 3-series. I will never by S-03's again.
Verdict to date: Good choice.

Back up sensors? Affirmative.
Yea, I know, but I'm a dad with a 2-year old and another on the way. I was worried about the kids more than anything else.
Verdict to date: Yea, I know, but I'm a dad with a 2-year old and another on the way. I was worried about the kids...

Chrome-like wheels? Yes, dark.
I wasn't real sure about choosing them, but I am very happy that I did dispite the insane cost.
Verdict to date: With what seems like thousands of TLs around the Phoenix area, these seem to set the car apart from the others.

YAAY I'm getting those same wheels and tires. My wheels will be here Tomorrow got them for only $1,280 And my dealer is selling them for $1.800 what a joke. My tires will hopefully be here by this Friday so I can get them balanced and then put on my car. My car is dying for new shiney shoes. I will post pics. This will have completed the A-spec pkg. I have a WDP, blacktint with parchment.
