Nice start, also not a fan on the open mouth grill on your specifict color, maybe if you color match the grill it might look better.

The color of your car is a very nice one, you've got to put on some wheels to make that perfect contrast, take of the dark and go with something silver, or maybe gold with a lip! Still, it is a very nice ride!! This is Ch33sE1 Type S, something like this! Although your car is a deeper blue!

your window sill looks cleaner than your TL.

get rid of those wheels.
lower it.
fix the gap above your drivers side headlight.
remove dealer license plate frame.
get better pics.

your TL has great potential, pykid. i look forward to seeing what you do with it!

Congrats on snagging a TL and welcome to AZ.

I have to say I agree with most of the other comments. I'm not a fan of black rims on a dark blue car. You need some contrast on her. Your headlights are sick, though. Love them! I think the open mouth grill could stand to be replaced as well.

Can't wait to see what you do with her!

Welcome PY.

Love the headlights-they obviously look familiar. I'm a fan of the front grill too.

Welcome to the Money Pit.

I recommend a nice drop and maybe some different wheels if you plan on modding.

is there a diy for the i simple? I've been searching and haven't had the best of luck I've seen some youtube vids on it and i think that really will be the best solution to this
and i definitely will be doing more to this car it is just the beginning i just wish I won the lotto or something lol
some time in the future i want to lower it but nothing too low just because of nyc streets aren't the best roads in the world
btw im planning on saving up like $30 to get the mid muf removed and get a strait pipe put in
Future Mods
-tint
-i simple
-s techs (hopefully the gf can spare some money for my Christmas present)
-new wheels

No offense, but those are stock lights not mods.. however if you want to keep with the blue theme I suggest putting in some blue LEDs in the dome lights and you'll feel like a vip everytime you step out of your car. Congrats on your pick up of a TL btw.

LOL..... sorry to burst your bubble but that's not a mod, that's something that EVERY 2004-2008 TL HAS.

the 2007-2008 TL Type-S interior is all red. 04-08 base interior is all blue.

It's easy but you must remove trims and whatnot. Only if you were local, I'll do the install. I took my time making everything a nice and clean install .
