So, if you were to be impartial to the fact that it just took you a couple hours to clean and put them on, do you really love them?

I hope Vossen is sending you a friggin CHECK!

The red text leads me to believe there's some sarcasm there.

Lol. Yes. But there is a positive side to this. My car was chosen to be in a youtube video for a review on the Vossen Iphone 5 case. Somewhere in there I might have a chance.

Should have them printed upside down so the reflection off the rear glass is right side up!

The stickers in the barrel are growing on me. Nicely done!

They are distracting IMO. The rest of the car is clean and simple and then there are huge white letters in the barrels. Unless Vossen gave you a good discount or is paying you to promote the brand like that, I would take them off.

No just the roof. Too much carbon turns into a.race car.

Thanks bro.
They are a test right now. Dont know if I love them yet. What I wanted was to be different. Theres too many TL's out there that are WDP with a Vossens and everyone says,"Ive seen this before." Like to keep it unique. Thats why I did my headlights a lil different. Knew some people would like it and some hate it. But its part of the game.

I know I'm late to the party. But, do the RL calipers just bolt up?
I'm assuming the Stoptech rotors are for an RL as well?

I have the same wheels (but in 20's), and every time I see my stock calipers and rusty rotor hubs, I get annoyed.

I'm in the camp that doesn't like the letter decals in the wheels. There really aren't that many TLs with those Vossen wheels and you have enough other nice clean touches that already make your car quite unique. I don't think the decals in the wheels are needed and I find them distracting. Anyway, just my $0.02. Overall, very nicely done and the car is stunning.

Well they they do just bolt up but you have to do get this special bracket for it to work.

lol. I've been following this tread for years and the work is amazing. I've contemplated doing my roof. Removed my trunk lip because its a 'hot' item around here and may end up to a new home for free if you know what I'm saying.
