Finally...some pics of my 3G NBP
(JUST after i finished zaino-ing)
(This was the best shot i could get of the lights w/o distorting the picture)
(Pretty shiny)
(Roommates M3...c'mon guys...look at the TL too!!!)
(Haha you can see me in the reflection)
(I REALLY like this pic for some reason)
(Last one...)
You can see that I did the black headlight thing, painted the grills black, any other small exterior mod you guys recommend? i'm gonna lower it with tein SS in the next few months and slap some 19's on it. Thanks for lookin.

lol..thanks for the comments you guys. yea i did the grill myself. when the bumper was off, i took the bottom portion of the grill parts apart and the hood piece, there are 4 bolts behind it that hold it in place and 2 clips that you need to get past to pull it off. i sanded them down with 60 grit paper. i used the duplicolor engine enamel high gloss finish paint (6 coats). then i used duplicolor clear coat paint over that (3 coats). turned out looking just like the NBP, but without the blue sparkles.

dang...came by again, just can't help bumping in your thread
your NBP TL is one of the best i've seen
headlight not too smoky
car doesn't shine like a mirror
dang....
you've got a perfect ride (of course, adding rims would be more than being perfect)

You should see the rims I am putting on my car, I ordered them from iForged. They are iForged FS Trial Glossed Black 19x8, they were 3 grand alone for the rims. they are made from scratch the second they are ordered. They take 8 weeks to arrive and i ordered em a month ago, they r goin 2 look amazing. your car looks amazing. I would rather have had you gotten these rims than those 
but its all money consuming. I like the front grill tho. alot. have a nice day.

I think he's referring to these. They look ( alright ). They look similiar to the ronjons. The ronjons in my opinion are worth paying for. Can get them for a fraction of the price those iforged cost. Maybe its because of the custom paint job. Me personally, I'm not a big fan of 5 stars with lips. Hey, what the heck, everyone have different taste. So I'm sticking to DCR forged Hockenheim in 20".

You wouldn't believe me if I told you how much I got them for. $500 shipped. I'm just keeping them in my inventory for now. They are VSR perfomance wheels. They are currently working on their website VSRwheels.com. I was thinking of blacking out my car first before I slap them on similiar to yours. Your car looks great. In the meantime I'm waiting on these DCR forged

not really feeling those Iforged. The spokes are too thick for my taste. IForged ARE great rims though. Btw, holybear, where do you work? $3000 for rims and you're only 16?!? I wish I got a job like that when I was younger. Or is it all mommy and daddy hahah.

Took some new pics at the beach. enjoy!!!
the zaino treatment REALLY makes a HUGE difference. a bird pooped on my car while i was at work today and all i did was quickly wash it, detail spray, dry...and it looks like i spent all day on it. the whole wash, spray, dry process took me like 30 minutes only.
OH...and i installed the short shifter last night...bomb stuff man!
