Thanks bud! I actually have the Type-S tail lights, but I was thinking that in keeping with the subtle red theme that the original looks better. Still on the fence though

Well you're right those red stripes do look pretty sic! I assume the process is to remove the stock and send them to endlessrpm to have them converted? I wonder though, if it would be better to just send the extras that I already have. They're the DEPO Type-S replacements and it would save me the hassle of having a car with no tails while I wait for the conversion.

You have two tail lights right now, one base and one Type-S Depo?
Install the Depo ones, then ship off the base ones to EndlessRPM.
The red stripes tail lights need base tails to do the job

I'm not a huge fan of the red calipers but you've done a great job so far! Consider adding the A-Spec kit...it changes the whole look of the car!

Actually, those wheels showcase your red calipers even better.

Thanks Steven, that was actually precisely what I was going for. Took me about 3 months to decide what wheels to go with, but once I decided on the calipers it made my decision easy

I'm curious, what are your thought on the Red Stripes vs the Super Reds? After careful consideration of all the mods on tails that endlessrpm offers I have it narrowed down to both those of two but I can't decide.

Agreed. And I looked into the Brembo big brake upgrade but they were just so expensive. I love the look, but I got my entire four wheel brake kit for a quarter of the cost of just the front Brembo kit. Perhaps in the future I'll get to that, but what I have serves its purpose for now.

Just a little progress update
So my initial plan was to paint my grill NBP, which I did, and I also debadged her. But after I did it I decided that I didn't really like it. I have seen many other Ziners who have done this and I think it looks really good, but for whatever reason I just didn't really care for it on my TL. So with a little help from the folks at Endlessrpm and some CF vinyl wrap from MetroRestyling I am much happier with the new results! Here's some pics, enjoy!
Just installed the chrome upper trim piece. You can see the black paint mod is already starting to peel
Here it is completed, and I decided to play little with the CF wrap. Much better! And on a side note, while I was a little hesitant, the bumper was quite easy to take off.
I also decided to play a little more with the CF wrap and did the cross bar and re-badged her. I wouldn't say I'm a pro at vinyl wrapping just yet but I do think it turned out pretty good.
And the final touch, for now, the CF inserts on the door sills
