Wink The Growth and Change of my TL <3

Hey fellow Acurazinians, Im making a "Journal" based on the change and progress of my TL. Pictures will be posted from the first time I had the TL up to now. I recently posted pics of my TL and saw how all these TL's out here looked so gorgeous. Give some advice

STOCK


Felt like it needed life CHROME!!!



OMG.....NOT WORKING REMOVE THE CHROME!!!


Time to debadge


Still experimenting....
To Come:
19" Ron Jon Inspyre (FIT TL BEAUTIFULLY)
Roof spoiler
20% Tints
TL-s Tails
Rear A-spec
Not sure about the drop (Brooklyn roads are dreadful )
Honda accord fogs
Cleared headlights

Since im still a newbie at this forum, I would appreciate it for alot of help you guys

Future mods are looking good. Not feeling the wheels you have, I would definitly get the Ron Jons asap. A one inch drop would make it sit nice.

sounds like you got a good list of mods up ahead, i also agree with vigilante jump on the RJ's ASAP the wheels you have on are not really the TL's style, as for the drop, i would say go for ASPEC, nice drop with alot better handling!

good choice on removing the chrome.
Also thats a good list of upcoming mods.
I say get a nice suspension like Teins SS or Konis and Eibachs.
I live in the bronx and the roads arent that bad with it.

It looked good for the first time i put it on, then honestly it was looking as if it was too much. Now the wheels I got just to match all the chromie looking things, know the only chrome thing I have is the wheels

Removing the chrome and badges made a huge difference. With just those two modifications made, it looks so much better than when you originally posted.

Getting the Ron Jon wheels and a nice drop (IMO go with Tein Coilovers) would really set the car off properly!

good job directing yourself away from all that chrome!
This is a prime example of modding being a learning process! Keep up the good work and keep us updated once that list is applied to the car

Actually homeboy its not the chrome that's ruining the look. It's that its too much chrome. If you went with like a mesh wheel or something that broke it up it'll be just fine.

Here's what I'm talking about:
