Must Be the Devotions Turning Heads!!!

It's the exact same car, but turned the following heads:

1. Guy in blue BMW M3.
2. Guy in pickup, who stared way too long.
3. Guy in Dodge Stratus.
4. Woman in passenger seat of Cab
5. Acura Sales Reps.
6. Guy in orange CL-S who gave them the "im really looking, but I don't want you to know look".


I also cleared out the service department at the acura dealership (for a regular service) as they took turns to take a peek and recieved the following quotes:

1. "I've seen people try and put wheels on this car before, never worked, but these are perfect".
2. "Sweet as hell".
3. "Best I've ever seen on a TL".

Thank Ron, excellent work. The way people turn I sometimes feel im not in a TL.

I'll post some better ones when the tires have been dressed.

Lowering and a body kit should be something you consider in the future. Those wheels are to beautiful to be left alone..

Looks great. Get some chrome cleaner and use on exhaust tips for even sweeter look.

I get the same thing...everybody at the tire place that mounted my tires was checking them out...took it to the dealer Tuesday, same reaction at mine as yours. The yuppies around here with TL's check them out, too...probably wish their wife would let them buy some (or anything, for that matter)!

Those rims really do look good... they looking kinda small to be 19's but I feel you though mine 19 Volks looks like 17's too. But it matches up with the car really well, you just need to lower the car and a kit... Then it will be a neck breaker.

Advice

ALL,

Thanks for the advice. Eiback pro-kit and RJ Body kit are on my list. Pretty hard to spring for all at once though! Also, I know they are a bit dirty. I was on my way home from the dealer when I took these.

Ill have some better ones after a detailing tomorrow.

Hey man love your ride, my 2005 TL is SSM too, I was wondering if you had done any mods to it other than the spoiler, tint, and wheels? (I'm planning to get it tinted and add a wing spoiler this week)

I was actually thinking about black myself, but was not sure of the look. I felt black may look too "racey", not "ricey", but "racey" if you know what I mean.
