Very clean install on the DVD switch, I personally am not feeling those rims whatsoever but I appreciate your style! Car looks good! I may replace my headlight bulbs with higher Kelvin ones because the stockers are too yellowish for my taste. Yours look good.

thanx for all the positive feedback guys. yeah i picked the rims because they were different. I don't know if i would use them on any other car with any other color but they went well with the red/black scheme. i have many people tell me they dont' know if they like them but "they suit the car".

I think if the rims had a lip they would look much better/maybe, but overall thats a nice TL, really like that dvd switch

Is that a regular 04-06 bumper? I didn't realize the Type-S headlamps would fit on that bumper.
That DVD switch looks really clean, the red door sills are pimp too. Maybe you should try getting Red LED interior lights.

yes my TL is an 06. The Type S headlights fit perfect. The only difference is the bulb housings for the turn signal was different. easy fix. I have hyper white led interior lights. Red would just be too much> I like to see what I'm doing in my car if i need light. But i do agree it would look sweet!

they look bluer/more purple..but yes i love these bulbs they are very bright and love the output. You wouldn't be disappointed if you got a set. I had a cheap set off ebay. they were 6000k..they sucked..i then got the Philips Ultinon 6000k and they are sweet!

good work on the mods everything looks good. get the rest of the kit (rear and sides) and lower it to complete the look. not a fan of the wheels tho, they do look like windmills! maybe if they were all black they'd look better. it would match your black trim theme.

i thought about that..but i was lucky enough to get my hands on a TLS chrome grille for around 20bucks...and it matches the rear TLS chrome license plate trim above the license plate. I'll post pics of that later

thanx for the compliment. It was such an easy mod and only cost alittle over 100bucks to have the grill painted.

I'm not a fan of the aspec rear lip. figured i'd see about getting the ron jon rear. and the sides weren't that much of a difference to me to spend the extra money on...honestly i can't tell a difference in the stock vs apec.

Iz...I've been looking at your car for a long time. I love the nose, and you know what-the wheels are an interesting theme match with the rest of the car. You've got tinted windows, the dark nose and the trim of the Aspec lip is dark too, which matches with the wheels. The theme pieces all match.
