Thanks for getting the pics to work!

I really like it. I have tinted tails on my WDP TL and I love them. You should try to get the TL-S side markers eventually. The rear red ones look out of place IMO.

I have some 20" RJ rims on my TL right now, but for a winter set up, I was considering getting my stock rims painted. Did you do them yourself? Painted or powdercoated?

i want to do all the little things before i work any major projects. like the markers and head lights. just gotta do some more research b4 i diy.. as for the rims i got 19 giovanna's black face... the stock wheels i sanded down and my pops painted them with a air compressor, might be dumb question but im not sure the diff between painting or powder coating. no peels yet so i guess we did a god job. justa little curb rash. thanks for the comment.

I beg to differ. I think its more of the color combo that is throwing this off. Once the OP upgrades to some bigger wheels it will transform the look of the car and I'm sure thats on his list. If you don't believe me look at my photo gallery and click my sig to see my pics.

This is was forums is all about comments and critisism, I honestly never like the ron jon kit. there too much going on with that kit. the TL's curves are already sexy, expecially with the aspec lipkit.

BUT to each his own.
Looks like you gotta redo your rims
Did anyone else notice in the 2nd pic that his driver front tire is flat?

you don't see too many tl owners with that color, a nice drop and set of wheels would really set it off

props

I don't why everybody is hatin on the RonJon kit. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it slants down where the trunk is. Other than that I think it looks sick.

Anyways on to your car, its a great start, I like it. I see you already have some 19s so those probably look a lot better than the winter wheels. I like the DMM/Black theme you got going on. After you get your rims on just get a drop, black out those rear side markers, and clear/blackout your headlights and you are good to go.

Guys...There's nothing wrong with this RonJon kit. The look is terrific and the trunk in very unique because of the slant. But we're used to seeing the kit combined with the RonJon wheels, like Inspyres. But that's not the case on the Original Poster's TL. This is a very unique color TL. Hustla, you tell us...do you have plans to keep your current wheels or changing them out later?

By the way, props on your TL.

im hooked on the kit. once i seen it i had to have it. my tire pressure is low on that tire.. dont really drive it too much. u might see me rollin in a 94 chevy astro.. A.K.A big bertha.. i still have the stock wheels on.. need a little touch up once they come off. doin a little repair on the 19". im surprised many pple dont like the rj kit. some one made a good point with the kit matching the wheels but i went diff. I was mostly about cosmetics but now this site has me amped on performance. i got 12 points w.o any perfomance mods so i gotta wait till the points drop.im liken the feed back tho. i think im gonna attempt blacking out the headlights v.s. clear. many pple questioned the color. but i like it. everyone has white or black. gotta get my doe up but there will be more to come.there is so many ideas and concepts i have seen and cant wait to do. diy headlights, i dont have much experience but have a great deal of patience. something i should attempt on my own.?? thanks for the comments pplee..

as far as wheels. i was more about flashy, again with the cosmetics, but i have seen some nice wheels out here. nothing wrong with multiple sets is there.?lol.. as far as a drop i have comtech lowering springs but no struts. at first i was woried about scrapping on everything but i seen some ppl here fo lowwww. so i dont think it will be too much with a 1" drop. i should do the whole job at once right? not just springs??
