Nice Looks good. I'm rocking re-painted base 07-08's.

I love the way my 3G rides and handles right now with the drop and 17's.

Yea, car is much more responsive with 17s, and for the tires, i think i need 235/40, besides rubbing, theyre also slicing from the piece of metal that is on the inside by the bumper/fender.

My idea is to get rid of all the chrome on the car lol. I was into it when i first got the car, but now i just hate it. Next is the chrome strip on the trunk, then somehow the strip in my headlights.

even though they are 17s with some lips, they don't look too small. it actually looks good i remember years ago peeps with tsx avoided koseis in 17s because it looked too small on the car but somehow it works on the tl

Yeah, after i got the tires mounted on the rims, i thought they were gonna look too small when i put them on my car. But IMO it looks perfect, i need the extra tire thickness for my type of driving in my area, potholes everywhere.
