Nicely done, although I was actually pretty impressed with the stock lights adding some color to your car.

Try this, wetsand with 400 grit paper, then 1500 then 2-3000K, then compound out, then polish and put on some protectant. Lights will be perfect.
Thanks man, the dull spots are almost like a layer of something on the outside of the lens that appeared in some spots after i removed the tint. Idk what to do to get it off. Ive tried polishing it and wetsanding some.

Thanks, all the way down the ride is actually pretty good. It is a little stiff, but nothing to harsh.

SO sexy. I love your car.

I need to open up my headlights and paint the turn signal area black. I should have done it that way in the first place

Wow that is sexy, I love that stance. I'm also looking to get these same rims for my WDP in either matter black or hyper black. I just have a quick question. Is it possible to go with a wider tire like 235 if I were to get a camber kit?

Thanks! yeah you can go with a bunch of different tire sizes depending on how low you are and if you want to run a camber kit or not. If your not super low then you might be able to fit the 235 on with just natural camber.

Little update. Sadly i couldn't make it to IA this year. But there was a local meet in down town Nashville this Saturday so i stopped by to check it out. To my surprise there were over 700 cars and it was a pretty big deal. So i payed 10 bucks to have my car in the show and made a day out of it. There were tons of nice cars and prizes being given out. My TL actually ended up in the top 5 for best imports But anyway here are some pictures of my car at the show along with some other cars that caught my eye. Enjoy!

A couple more pictures. I painted my engine top and sway bar purple. Thought it would compliment the silver car and white wheels.

That was the MCCM, Music City Car Meets, that was the first official one. I tired to make it up there but I got caught up. Glad to see a good turn out! Car still looks great and the purple is looking good too.

Are the stock amber diffusers sprayed with NiteShadez to look black or what? I love the murdered out look.

Thanks! Yeah, I wanted everything to look black so JNC tinted the diffuser. Light output is still pretty good though.

I am glad we kept the turn signal reflector partially chrome as light output looks decent while at the same time you were able to get the look you were shooting for .
