i'm finding myself volunteering to drive more, take people in the car. it's like a totally different car, the not having to worry almost makes me not want to go back...but i'm sure it'll be back as soon as the salt is gone in the spring lol

it's an evening of work, but worth it to me. now i don't have to worry about coilovers seizing/corroding/shocks blowing, etc., same with wheels and upper control arms. no damage, no worries.

i've considered staggered, but i really wouldn't want to go narrower up front, it just looks too good to me

Beautiful car ! What kind of wheels ? I live in Boston, where would a person go to have their car lowered like that, a speed shop?

I think you should get the body kit. If you modify the base tl front under spoiler to fit your bumper then you are golden

thanks everyone!

wheel specs are 19x9.5 +25 all around...3mm spacer out back.

i likely will end up getting an aspec kit for the car with a base front modified to fit the type s bumper.

to answer questions, i lowered the car myself with the help of some good friends at a local shop Endless Details...we have a lot of time in the fenders to fit the wheels (a 9.5 up front with this offset isn't the easiest thing in the world to make work)

quick update to this- i've gone cheap for this year. instead of replacing the front tires (i never even rotated them lol), i swapped everything around. insides are now outsides, fronts are now rears. everything is mounted and balanced. i spent about two hours cleaning and waxing the wheels last night. tonight i'll be cleaning the coilovers and upper control arms. i don't think i'll be holding out much past this weekend to put the summer setup back on

That looks clean af! I saw those wheels at tire kingdom one day and didn't think they'd look good on TLs, especially since mine is ABP. but seeing them on yours definitely shows some promise of standing out on the car. But what's the tire size? I actually like the stretched tires on yours but didn't think it would be safe for daily driving. I wanna get 18x8.5 for mine.
