Sometimes I'm glad I am at the point with cars that I don't care enough to wet sand and buff stuff our anymore. My TL had 146K miles and it runs very well. The front end is covered in stone chips from the highway but I have found that this does not affect MPGs or ride quality so I can live with it. One day I will get a car I really care about.

I stay away from things that scare me LOL....paint is one of them....
Since Brian is working on it, I have no problems foreseeing that the trunk will come out looking professional....now if Brian moves to KS, I might try to wetsand my hood and reach out to him as well LOL
EDIT: looking good Chris....look the CF duckbill trunk

Thanks Fellas...
Chris, GTFO looking for G love in my thread! Especially after trying to take my batmobile title!![Rant](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rant.gif)
On a side note, I do like the spoiler on the G...I'm not a fan of CF unless it's a black car, I don't like that much contrast. BUT, given how the TL turned out, I'm sure the G is headed toward looking awesome. How's the miata? Still have it?
Anil, who's Brian?![Ninja](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ninja.gif)
Ravi, agreed, man...I am getting to the point of just having to accept that it's an older car that looks cool and drives nice. Is a daily highway driver so won't ever be perfect.

So, after all this work and blood sweat and tears, this was the look I was shooting for. Quick trip about 110 miles North to see an old friend about a Wing Ding (wing making competition). I was a judge, and actually ended up winning the beer pong tournee. Beginner's luck! I've only played twice before!

still pretty flush after dropping back 5MM all around...honestly, I don't know why everyone chases wider wheels and forced negative camber to make it look flush...factory spec camber with tire as close to fender as possible for me.

I wish the CL body lines didnt pinch inwards towards the bottom. I never ran really aggressive wheels, but even with mudflaps on it the doors and fenders looks sandblasted after 3 years of running wide(ish) tires.

lol...honestly, I love the roof spoiler, small, and goes with the lines of the visors.
About the tails...to the untrained eye they look like base reds!
but they're not!

Thanks all...no, actually, took the opportunity to give a set of base reds the same treatment...Wow...I now own 9 fucking tail lights...the odd number is for the base 07 I just ordered that I was going to use to fix the chipped "rockstar143" tail...showed up chipped also...they ended giving me a full refund but didn't ask fir the light back...included an led board too, woot

if you did the +35 offset probably no need for fender roll, if you did +20 youll need it more than likely depending on height. but ill give you a good piece of advice, use the search button. people will hate you for asking questions that have been answered a million times. there is actually a whole thread with probably 30 pages dedicated to the xxr 530 wheels and fitment on the 3g.
