Murph, what DRL's are those!?!? I wanted to go with white, but when I did try some ebay ones, they stay dimly lit even when car is off. Thought it was weird.

Also, looking GREAT! Gorgeous pictures everyone...

hey rock they are the vleds... they made some custom harnesses for the TL since they were half powered and so dim but now they are pretty bright with the new harness no issues what so ever... not sure if they still offer the harness though???

i think the jdm rubber bands are super hot for fender quick releases lol!

yes we are a bunch of whores arent we but what the hell might as well spread my legs for everyone bahahaha

thanks btw...I may have an issue since it's a DRL module I'm using. Maybe I'll just stick with my yellow Nokya's...but I'd prefer to go white LED if possible.

Sounds good, man...thanks...so basically they plug into the oem sockets and light up at 100%, got it...thanks, man.

Decaf, hoping you picked up the obvious sarcasm even without the red text...no, i don't think they look JDM and no, I don't think they look clean.

Rears are shaved, fronts rolled quite a bit. I'm actually rubbing the fender liner a tad bit atm, need to figure something out. Thanks!

When you say "shaved", you mean they've been cut? I don't have access to a fender roller, so I'm thinking about cutting mine with a Dremel...just worried about developing rust and worried about the sharp edge gouging my tires or wheels if they ever come in contact with one another. Suggestions?

Yeah they were cut, not sure what they used but I have friends that have used a dremel for their cars and it turned out fine. I'm not 100% sure but I think you can just sand it down so that it isn't sharp and spray something over so that it won't rust. But if I could do it all over again I'd rather have just rolled all 4 instead because you're limited when you shave.

Well once you shave it you can't do anything else to it. If you roll your fenders and aren't happy with the results, you can continue adjusting them until satisfied. I guess it just depends how aggressive one plans on making the fitment. The shave was perfect for me haha.

Sweet. Slammed without stretching tires, and without the tires sticking out farther from the body is very KOOL to me. Very tasteful slamming guys

Shave those suckers!

That's how mine r done use a 4.5" angle grinder with metal cut off blade then smooth it down with metal grinding wheel. Mine has no rust been cut for a year. Having them cut gives me a lot of extra room plus no bacon fender.

Dont waste ur time with a dremmel not enough power behind it and blades are week.

I literally shaved mine down within 1/8" of turning into fender
