Whats up everybody?

Just got my 06tl a few months ago after selling my chrysler 300. I love this car and after deciding not to change anything.. hahaha.. yeah right. So far i have removed the mid muffler and resonator and will run that until i build a new exhaust with a flowmaster super 44 and 2.5 in pipe and try to throw and x or h pipe some where in there. I have also done a few other things. While woring on my grill i removed the resonator box from the intake. So far so good on that. a little louder and a bit more responsive. I have been working on blacking out all of the gray trim and rear side markers. I have my eyes on a spoiler andand some lowering springs. also plan on having my stock wheels PC black. I will get pics up rigt now.

Looks good. If you smoke the tails just do a nice light tint. Personally I wouldn't get the wheels done in black.

Personally,
1.) I rather get type-s side markers than paint the stock red ones black.
2.) Light smoke on the tail lights would look great
3.) The grille delete... eh. not feeling it
4.) No, to black stockies on a NBP

Other than that, car looks good!

i was going to get the type s side markers, but after i painted the oem ones, i actually liked it. the grill will have mesh very soon. I couldnt stand that stock grill. exactly, just going to do a light smoke on the tails.

thanks for all input, comments, and compliments....

Hmn... not a bad start. Grille looks clean but too flat.
In my opinion, you shouldn't have deleted the entire grille.

The grill isnt quite done yet.. It will look good i hope when the mesh is installed. I did alot of mods to my chysler 300 that most people advised against, but it looked really good and super unique.. Im always open for input and advise as this is a whole new beast. I will get some more things done and get some pics up this weekend. at least have the tails smoked, Acura symbol black, and my mesh at least picked out.
