I've seen finer. Ha haa..

Nice ride! I like your setup.

I like how you painted the splash/mud guards. Was that a DIY or did you bring that to a shop? Mind offering me some insight?

BTW.. wrong place to post this. It will be moved to the photo gallery.

Looks very sharp. I love the deep inset on the wheels. Not digging the exhaust tips, though. I agree they look like they're for a Mercedes and they seem out of place to me.

ok well i cleared out the lights with a friend...the fog lights have been changed to 7500Ks and the turn signals are LEDs...
Rims: Pretty much the rims are 19'' 8.5 in the front and 19" 9.5 in the back the drop is close to 2". The exauhst tips are still undecided but i want to do it QUADS make it look like AMG tips one longer than the other kinds. THANX for everyones comments much appriciated...Btw the car has also been in some kind of persian music video and also got sponsered for a crazy system which i will be posting pictures soon as i get them installed.

What is the offset of the wheels and what size tires are you running for your rears?? Any rubbing issues in the rear since you are running 19x9.5's??

Oh yeah...one more thing....your TL looks awesome!!!

Looks good, but not the finest.

Loose the mudflap and TL badge and put A-spec body kits.

Looks awesome! I like your painted Mud Guards, did you have to add any flex additive into the paint since they are rubber?

With a title like SoCals finest you should have been ready for some flaming. Don’t get me wrong it looks very good but the wheels blend in with the rest of the car too much. Dump the mud flaps. It needs an A-Spec body kit and a lip spoiler. I think there are plenty of TLs in SoCal that can try to claim that title. My

But if you like it then that’s all that counts.

no offense man, but those could possibly be the worst pics ever. Try some different angles, getting the car in focus, and getting the whole car in the shot...
I am trying to feel you on the socals hottest thing...but Its kind of hard to judge with those photos, not to mention there are plenty of fully hooked TLs in the area.
I do like the wheels though. I think.

Thanx alot for all the comments... Pretty much this is one of the only TLs that you see like this in LA and also in the Valley...The tires are the NITTO 555 EXTREME ZR 235 35 in the front and 265 30 in the rear...BTW without the mudflaps the tires look more stuck out from the back which didnt look so nice...And yes i had to take my front tints off because of a ticket i got.
