07 WDP at the beach

Went to the beach today. Didn't plan on taking pictures so the front was covered with bugs

Exterior is stock except the TL-S trunk lip:

looks very good.
That WDP really stands out.
Are you dropped and what percent tint is that?

messed with one of them in photoshop:



stock ride height. tint came on the car. I assume it's 35% on the front and 20% on the rear since I "think" that's the legal limit in Houston.

Nice pics.

You get to drive onto the beach in Houston? I wish we could do that here in So Cal, but I think there is a danger of running over people.

The car is looking great!

Ditto. I'd be driving all up and down PCH.

I love how the white looks with the tails actually. I think a nice drop would make your car looks a lot nicer and give it a sleeker attitude as well.

Great looking car. I noticed the wise choice of contrast between the WDP, the sandy beach and the green grass. Looks nice and warm.

While up here there is little contrast between my WDP, the salty roads, and the snow and ice. If your going to post these pictures, at least do it with someone posing in a parka for gods sake! Stop taunting us New England folks.

Nice car, anyways!

We were actually in Freeport, TX at Bryan State Park. I was really surprised that we were allowed to drive onto the beach too.

The roads are way too bumpy in innerloop houston to drop the car

I never had any trouble in my last car. Fortunately its just a fix-it ticket.

Progress rear-sway and smoked rear side markers go on next week!

What side of town are you on?

I love what you've done with this picture. It's like you reduced the color or something, but it still looks hot.

Keep the base tails if you like them. I'm not sure if I want to go '07 base or '07 TL-S myself (I have an '06 WDP). Both look great on WDP, especially if you have the TL-S rear side markers, which you don't have. Maybe you should get those first... Then again this wasn't a thread in which you asked for opinions, so nevermind!

Nice car, nice pics!

Don't sweat it. I've thought about the TLS side markers. I've only had the car a month as of tommorow so I'm trying to take it slow

Nice beach pics! I did that once here in San Diego, CA. Cops didn't care because no one was around at the time. I just took some pics today too.

Clear corners look so much better. Now go get them done rather than photochopping your pictures.

ditto. Hate those 07 TL tails. Everytime one drives by me I just , but it's not as bad if YOU like it. I really like the redesign of the stock rims, though - and i love the deeper grille design! I'm glad I have an '06, however. There's too many things I don't like about the '07 personally. Those are very nice pics, though! (like the lip btw)
