Hey guys whats up havnt posted any piks in a while, been waiting to finish up the mods. Well this is what ive done so far. Will take better quality piks later on tonight including piks of the engine cover, shrouds and trunk which are all already fnished. Let me know what you guys think...

Smoked Tails, Markers & Debagged trunk lid


Front lights tinted % Lower mesh grill added



9.2" Dual Headrest TV monitors




8" Dual Visor TV monitors & DVD player in glove box



Here are some piks before i tinted the lights at a local car show



And these are the wheels im looking forward to buying in a couple of months.
20X8.5 front and 20X10 rear. Same setup i have now im just gonna slam it to the ground about 2.5".


Hope u enjoy my camera phone piks. lol . Let me know what you think..

 

headrests are horrible

 

And the wheels are even WORSE....

 

Too each their own man... Thats just what i like

 

The ones on the car or the ones im planning on purchasing?

 

They look TOO BIGGG

 

lol. The 7" that others do weren't cutting it for me... I like to do it big.

 

Bigger is better is the american way...............but it is not necessarily the correct way in terms of visual balance, there is such a thing as proportion that needs to be considered. Just like louder sound does not equate to better sound, having a monitor that does not comfortably fit into its location does not make it better, only bigger. My position on staggered wheel setups on this car is also not very popular. While I agree that it looks very aggressive and is visually appealing to the show car crowd, the fact of the matter is that it is a FWD car and the people who know this will logically come to the conclusion that it is handicapping the vehicles performance for the sake of vanity. I am sure you have all heard this before.........form follows function & less is more.

 

i know staggered is for RWD but i like the look. And i know it affects performance thats why i bought a TL cause its not a race car. If i wanted speed i would of gotten something that responds to performance mods way better than the TL. As for the TVs, im in a car club and attend at least 2 shows a month and i love the look of them and the points i get for them at the shows....

 

Since you ask what we think....!

here is my

Head rest: Looks like stock cavalier HR..Stick with oem...! I love the big screen tho...!

Sun visor: Dose it even clip on? It doesn’t look custom...! Looks more like e-bay clearance special

and lastly loose the TL badge on the dash...!
looks

other wise...nice ride

 

oh

 

damm! you guys were tough on this guy. let's give him some props before we bash him. everyone here has different taste. it's his money and if he likes it then that's what counts.

i like the fact that the car looks very clean. kit and wheels look good. i'm not a fan of some mods but to each his own. congrates.

 

yea the visor clips on perfect its just i pushed it back to take the pik.

 

Thanks for some positive feed back.... Geeez now i know why i havnt seen too many Tl drivers with tv's, guess its tooo ghetto for the north people. Well let me tell u people how it is done down south. As many tvs as u can fit on the car and big rims... Thats why there are different colors for people to choose from... ohh and another thing "Opinions are like assholes everyone has one"

 

I say keep the wheels you have now, they look way better than the other ones you want to get. If you want a black wheel, than paint the wheels, that will look prettty nice with all the tint

 

Things i like:
Rims
Tinted Tails
Mesh
Visor TV's
Lip

Not so much:
Headrest TV size
Tinted Headlights (black/clear em)
TL Badge on dash

Split on ure future rims though..and if u wanna rep ure name u gotta go even lower

 

it's kinda funky in here. not a good vibe.

all this some work. so i commend you for that.

 

hey man, you car looks good at doesn't matter what the people say, i wish i had a Tl like you, you already have a nice car, if u dont mind i will like to recoment you axis wheels, they nice, good quality and u will never have problems with missing balance or shake they really good and believe me they will look hot in ur car, here some pictures i hope u like it...



I had those wheels in my car, and they were hot, i have in black, here some pics enjoy it...

 

Wow... some haters up in here i see... Well I think your car looks great, bro. Keep up the good work. I have my headlights tinted and the chrome strip on my grille also, but i'm probably going to color match or black out the lights soon. The only thing that baffled me was when I thought "this kid's in a car club, shows his car, invests a LOT of $$ in the car - and NO NAVI?!?! What's that about?" But whatever floats ur boat. I've been trying to do a mesh grille conversion for a while now - how'd you do yours?

 

i like the Giovanna's better..it goes with his "dub-going big" theme....But I dont think those Giovannas would fit, it looks like they are for 6 lug truck. Do they come a 5 lug for a car?

 

Nice ride, you fit that small percentage of TL owners who go for the "Bigger is Better" theme. Its coo, as long as it reflects your lifestyle.

 

oh yeah!

 

sounds like there are some haters...

 

Ride is looking good, I would keep your wheels though not feelin those Giovannis

 

hey man are you in bay plaza in coop city.haha

 

Looks good, although they headrest tv's are alittle big, If it's what you like than thats all that matters. As far as the car it looks sick. Nicely done.

 

Thanks man appreciate the compliment. I just dont like how the 7" screens look and thats the biggest you can go on the stock head rest. Thanks man....

 

Lol I dunno about hating but just difference of opinions, some people like it some dont. Too flashy for me, I had 19's on my car and I felt like I was 17 again when all those ricers would pull up next to me and try to race me...

 

No haters at all.......He asked us what we thought, and people are letting him know

 

No i would call it Hatting..... A simple "no not my taste" would of been sufficient. But then people like you that reply a whole book of words, yea its called Hating... Work like this and thousands of dollars invested should be appreciated..

 

Like you said.......it's your opinion, like the old saying (opinions are like assholes.......everybody has one) it's your and you have the right to express your opinion but like another old say that is said (if you don't have anything good to say.......don't say it at all). I have staggered 20s setup and I'm not handicapped at all in performance for ex. if me and you were to see who TL will perform the best........personally I think I will out perform you, with the 20's on. We all need to get past this myth about staggered 20's, because I have a set on & the work well. Hey Jason.......that setup will work well, pm me so I can give you the info for the 20's.

Kevin

 

We are not racing.......we are here to enjoy our TLs, here's a shoot with 20's fitting perfect, with no rubbing and out perform must cars out there.

Here's a shot from the rear with the 20's tucked in the rear.

 

Yo K-Shawn thanks for the support . When is it your coming down so we can have a lil photo shoot? Ill Pm u later with details of my next set up in a bit, acutally i have a couple different in mind, so u can let me know what you think.

And heres a picture i found of my car last weekend at HIN MIami 2006

 

the car is def not my style .. but the one thing that really concerns me

is that you took arguably the best bi-xenon headlights out right now and put TINT ON THEM ??? WTF ???

thats got to be the dumbest thing ever ... nothing like sacraficing your vision for vanity .. but hey .. its not my car

 

Hey I really like the way it looks! and everything I said is good. But if you think identical TL's with one running 20's and other running 17's, even with identical tire diameters, will be equal in performance you are sadly mistaken. The 17's will out accelerate and out top speed the 20's by a significant margin. But yeah I agree they look hot! And I am not hating..........and I am not giving you my two cents.........I am giving you the undeniable facts

By the way your car looks great!

 

wow......why ask for if u gona bash what people are saying

you ask for our openion .............i gave you my thoughts...!

dont get me wrong...you got nice ride...i would kill to have some of the mods that you got on...!

please dont take it personally...!

but for next time..if you arent ready for the honest openion..maybe you shoudnt ask

 

Why are you copping half a plea........now you really like it, all you have been is critical about the staggered 20s. Personally I will take you out with my 20s and my 17s with no problems. What I have under the hood I'll have no problem leave you 2 car lengths. Too bad you're not over her in Jerzey........this Hot RRP will embarrass you in performance and looks and I'm not bragging on my ride but you need to know your position.......son.

Kevin

 

Also thankyou for the compliment.........your RRP is hot also, there's like three hot RRP TLs on the forum myself, ChicoOg, and you. We have to all stick together......don't mind my last post Pohljm, Merry Xmas & a Happy & Safe New Year to you and your family and to whom ever reads this thread and also to the members that have posted on this thread.

Merry Xmas

Kevin

 

Looks alot like mine but:



you should def black out the headlamps, rather than tinting. it is unsafe, illegal and greatly decreases light output.

 

Props for "doing you" and modding your car the way "you" want it. That's why we do it anyways, right, to make yourself happy.


















But IN MY OPINION, I have a taste in my mouth when I look at your car.
