Finally modded the TL

got some raze wheels 18x8.5/9.5 on 235/40/18 toyo proxes 4 tires





my former cars

A6 2.7t 6spd on flik justice 18x8 on falkens kw v3 coilovers





2005 350z.... changed wheels so often but ran mostly 19x9.5/10.5s. probably bit the mod bug the hardest on this one

should have kept the vsxx or the te's and slapped them on the TL, such a downgrade in wheels.

in hindsight i wish i ran 9.5 all around. i didnt think it would fit in the front. i wanted the more concave look in the rear. I plan on using tl as my daily so having more understeer isnt gonna really affect me.

I would have kept the Z for sure! I like the wheels alot, staggered always looks better then matched! Any motor work to the Z?

yea that was it in the beginning. mario was a cool dude, even mingled on the 2nd day of shoot while we were eating catering lol

LOL i dont think the tl is making any cameos except to work and to the store. reason im not spending tons of money right now is 1 i dont got any lol and 2 got other priorities now like a mortgage and bills. cost of living in socal sucks.

thx for all the feedback tho. cant compare the my tl to my z cuz im not gonna drop 15k into it. i think im done for the time being and maybe if i manage my money right i can have some expendable income to spluge on some kinesis or ccw. dont think ive seen any tls with them.
