I like it but it needs to be a lot more aggressive looking to pull it off.
Lose the sunroof visor, the trunk wing, lower it, different wheels, side markers and tail lights, black out the headlights (properly) and add the A-Spec. Type-S A-Spec would really set it off

Worth my weight in SSM
Agreed...
And before you get any rim the car should be lowered first, its a lifestyle. You can make this look work it has potential you just have to complete it. Take off that rear spoiler and get a flush mount or no spoiler at all.

not dropping it due to the fact i live in orlando fl and all the driveways are steep and theres sinkholes everywhere because they dont fix pot holes here lol so dropping it would be bad. and i meant to say done for now because i still have a lot of mods to do im changing the headlights when i get the money and the taillights are a spec which i like but im going to clear them and have them smoked. the headlights and tails got tinted for free which is why i didnt care to do it for now. the spoiler i like i bought it for the car i hate the lip spoiler and i stil need the rear window spoiler also i have an a spec kit on the car already so im not changing that. theres really to much to type about what i want to do to the car thats not done but for only having it a few months from bone stock im not doing to bad =-p thanks for the comments and for all of u saying the murdered out look died i dont care i just like it for me not anyone else. oh and im eventually going to do everything cleared and chromed as well when i get tired of the all black.

i persoanlly like the spoiler its just an opinion some people dont some do. the wheels i love on my car i bought them because there exactly what i wanted they keep it looking kinda stock but adds a little to it. the headlights and tails yes i agree just waiting on it till i can. sunrof visor i like because i always drive with it open and it keeps dirt and wind noise out of the car. type s side markers are favorited on my e bay account already. and as far as the drop i might just a little but im not doing anything crazy so its not a big worry for me rite now. im also going to be doing a lot of custom mods when i get the time and money for it as well

I totally agree with your statement. It's kinda like cars with white rims.I was one of those dumb dumbs... But you live and learn. Now in this day in age there are many import magazines that help assist you to making your car "one-of-a-kind" without going overboard or getting rincey with it. Thats one thing i NEVER got into or understood lighter mods go a long way to making a car your own vs those bulging body kits and chrome 20's grrr!!! .

MrFr3sh, your car looks fine. As a matter of fact, if you like it, it doesn't really matter what anyone else says or thinks.
Mod your TL and enjoy your ride.

I lived in Orlando for 12 years and visit twice a year and I rarely see steep driveways or sinkholes. FL has some of the best and flattest roads out there so take advantage of them and lower that thing!
Also, take off the headlight tint and black them out properly. I guarantee you'll like them more

I've since realized that simply lowering the car won't hurt your drivability on said roads, and won't draw you any serious driving problems unless your slammed 'to the max' on rubber band tires.

UD's comparison post is like one of those weight loss program before and after shots where the people get all tan and cleaned up for the after. He lowered it more, but also added a spec, and used his fancy camera for the after shot. Oh yea, and it looks awesome

so true, if its what you like all power to ya, and you need to stop worrying about roads, you ever lived in a state where you get dumped on by snow and then salted the shit out of? i can 100% gaurantee the roads here are 30x worse, just man up and swerve em haha

Cruisin'
Keep the wing, keep the sunroof visor and keep the murdered-out theme. But I do think a subtle drop would make it look a lot better. Other than that, good progress.

2. The spoiler looks good
3. The type S tailights look way nicer than the base ones
4. You don't know what you're talking about
