not bad, fogs look good. wheels are different. but overall its a good look. thank god you dont have brembos up front or you'd be cleaning the wheels every day. one thing, you should have painted the calipers while you had the wheels off. and the rear camera placement is pretty nice.

I like where you put the rearview camera. Do you have it wired up to stock screen?

Freak, I've merged a lot of your threads together for you. In the lower right hand corner of each thread is a button that allows you to merge multiple threads together. Be sure to give it a try if you're quoting/answering multiple people!

I like your TL-since you have the red logo on the nose, you might consider a red stripe on the wheels to carry the red color through the car.

Hmm since you said comments are welcome, I like it so far. But I'd paint the "A" in the centercaps of the wheels black for contrast. It'll change the look so much. And then get an A-Spec kit.

I like the wheels but i absolutely hate that color of fogs. I don't think it looks good at all. I like yellow fogs and that's it. But it's your car.

Yea but even though i dont have brembos.. it gets dirty everytime i drive it LOL.
Yea I was thinking about doing the calipers but i couldn't decide what color to paint it.

Yea, I wired it up so i can see it on my NAVI screen everytime it is on reverse... I'm thinking about getting a separate switch so i can turn it on whenever I want.

Sorry about separating the quotes, now i know how to do it.. THANKS

That is exactly what my friend said... I just never got the time to do it after I spent a couple of hours painting the whole wheel. That will be painted next time I change the color on the wheel haha
