Finally Making a Progress Thread
Figured I would throw together a progress thread. I don't know why I've never made one. Any way, here goes! Enjoy!
Got my car completely stock for a early high school graduation present from my aunt and uncle!
Closest picture I have to stock:
Next Got Tein basic coilovers and I painted the stockies gunmetal. Came out pretty good actually. Also got a greddy evo 2 catback and painted the grill black. Windows are tinted 35% including entire windshield.
After that I finally got some spacers and the aspec lip kit!
Next I finally got some wheels!
Got tired of the wheels and the high offset so I sold them (partially to get a bike) and then plasti-dipped my stockies and threw those back on.
And after I sold my bike I got all new wheels and tires. Varrstoen 2.2.1's in gloss white. Offset is 18x9.5 +22 all around. Running a 225/40/18 tire.
And last but not least, got custom JNC headlights!
Hope you guys enjoyed my journey with my TL. Will update when I get more!

I'm lovin' everything, I just wish it was a different catback that flows a little bit better with the rear end. Those greddy mufflers are just so bulky.
The wheels are sweet, loving the white on the silver paint!!

Ha! I thought your thread with your white wheels was your progress thread! 
Sweet ride dude. May end up going down your path and get white wheels for ASM. Very clean!
I actually like the bulky exhaust, gives it more aggressive look.

Thanks! Hopefully going to start working on some more exhaust mods now. Jpipe is probably next.
Thanks!
Haha Thanks man! I really like my white wheels and I get tons of compliments from people. You will really like the look if you go with white.

Dude, nice thread. One suggestion-if you still have your red calipers, you might consider red lug nuts too....nice compliment to each other.

It was a decently nice day out today so I took advantage and got some shots. Enjoy!

Clean ride man. Don't see too many people running the Greddy EVO II still.

You got fc_v8's first post!
Car looks great as usual. I can't remember if I've asked this before, but where in IL are you? I'm NW Chicago suburbs. If youre close enough we should get the silver TLs together for a shoot.
