Be Gentle...My First Post with Pics

I just got my RJ kit put on and am trying out these rims. They are 19" GFG 3 piece forged Trento 5's if anyone is curious. They are rubbing a bit even with rolled fenders. Has 9.5 x 275/35/19 in the rear so I may try 255 tires? Not sure of the offset? Considering the Sevas S22's. I know alot of people don't like chrome, but I do
so oh well ha..ha..

Not a big fan of chrome, but those don't look too bad.

I noticed that your body kit is a tad darker than the rest of your car....(3rd & 4th pics)

Do you see it? Or maybe I'm just getting old

Yes I did notice. I was pretty pissed with my bodyshop. They had my car for 4 weeks and after almost 7 weeks they finally had my kit painted and installed. They assured me it would be top quality. Well the first thing I noticed was that they did not color match the kit! UFB! I have not paid them yet so we'll see what happens? The whole experience has been a nightmare.

Wow i love the ronjon kit on silver white and anthracite.. esp silver though. and I think the color mismatch is only on the rear; the front and sides look okay.

Damn! You just gave yourself the "Curse of le Blanc TL"!!!

Why aren't RJ kits color-matched already like a-specs??? Not asking you, just asking out loud in case Rondog hears!

I do have to get in line to bash your wheels tho...they don't go with that car! I love chrome, as evidenced by Stella...but not those! (they look like they should be on a Pontiac or Mustang) Hahahahahahaha...

Yes RonJon does paint the kits to match the car but they do not guarantee paint match. So take your chances with RonJon or your local body shop?

I do like the RonJon kit it looks good on the car. Might consider it for my Reddondo red TL

ron jon kit looks good. not sure if its the wheels or the monsterous tires that you have on them that takes away from the car? a set of the hyper silver rj legends would really set it off. imho..

The whole car looks great!! Those aren't my favorite GFG's, but they look good with the RJ kit (the more aggressive kit allows for more aggressive wheels). It's a very sharp ride.

Thanks for the comments guys. I hear ya on the wheels. You really have to see them in person to appreciate them. They are nice, but they don't fit as nicely as I would like. They are offset for a G35 AWD. The rear lip is nice but could be better. I am considering the Sevas S22 wheels with either a silver finish or of course Chrome! Yes I love my Chrome? ha..ha..! I am certainly open to suggestions though on wheels. I like the Sporty Look as evidenced by the RJ kit. Now I just need some nice wheels to set the car off.

Love everything except the rims. I like a darker sportier rim on our ssm's. Definately like a chrome lip, but thats too much chrome. Even a set of the black ravens would work.....

Black Ravens are made exclusively for, and only look killa on NBP!!!

Slides on a WDP every now and then, but only if it has a blacked out theme going on...

What does look killa on the Silver, is the Legend wheel in Liquid Graphite or the Inspyres in Liquid Graphite! They look OEM on Silver!!! Yezzir!!

Looks good,

Lets do a photo shoot together.

My rear is a bit off as well. Im having my side skirts and rear bumper re-painted the next week or so.

Looks much better with the lip spoiler instead of rear wing. I think I gotta remove mine.

As far as the wheels (if you dont like them). Save money, ship them to some wheel refinishers and have them re-painted. I know a guy who had his 1 piece RJ's re-painted from chrome to gunmetal and they look perfect.

You're wheels are nice Ron but I'm looking for a nice phat Lip. Hell I wish I could buy shoes for my car like my wife buys shoes for her feet. Dress My baby for what ever mood I'm in, How nice would that be. Fortunately I did not buy the wheels yet so I've been afforded a 3 week test drive. I think I am returning them tomorrow.

I told the guy to Install 50% tint in front and 35% in the rear
but I think he mistakenly put 20% all around
