So I wanted to do a shoot after some light modding - 6000k HIDs, LED License plate lights, LED reverse lights, Red Lug Nuts. and i had the nokya fogs already.

Let me know what you think of the mods/pics. Taken on Canon EOS Rebel xti

Do u know its unsafe to run those lugnuts on your rims? that is if the lugs are aftermarket

Make sure the lug nuts are NOT cone seat which looks like this: \_/

You need ball seat lugs with the stock wheels: (_)

Do the LED reverse lights make a bigger difference?

WalkerUA6

correct. OEM rims and OEM lugs have Ball seat lugs (more rounded) vs almos EVERY aftermarket rims and aftermarket lugnuts are cone seat. cone seat lugs will not fit well on ball seat rims.u prolly have it like this hahah (\_/)when it should be like this \\_// (after market lugs/rims) and or like this ((_)) (OEM rims and lugs)

Nice pics, I like the title 56k rub 2 sticks together lol, seriously who uses 56k last time I used it was like over 10 years ago

I can't imagine anyone who drives a TL having 56k

you need a tripod. lol

Thanks, I'm gonna check that today. If they are wrong, I'll change back to stock, but just for my own knowledge what damage do they do? because they've been on for a month... shit.

To be 100% honest with you, they make visibility a little worse. I'm not sure why, but if I look in the back up camera, I now see much less.

great lookin car....i really like the lug nuts.

BlacuraTLTYPES27

^ Thanks, now i gotta go make sure that they arent the wrong ones

erick3

you've inspired me...what'd you use to paint those nuts? lol

BlacuraTLTYPES27

Thank you, but I didn't paint them. I bought them from ebay, but I've since learned that they may be wrong for my rims. but if you want to do it yourself, i suggest giving powdercoating in your toaster oven a try. my friends do that for small things

Honestly, I doubt that anything would happen.

You run the risk of damaging your rims and under hard cornering, like on a canyon, a lug might come loose since the only contact between the lug and rim is on the bottom of the lug. Less friction equals more of a chance that the lug might get free on its own. That's my theory anyways.

If you do end having the wrong lugs, send me a PM. I might buy them off you.

UPDATE: the after market lugs seat like this (_).. pheeew

and sorry that i wont be selling them now, but you can pick them up on ebay pretty cheap ^

for a nice camera like that you take some crappy pics....just saying the truth. Nice whip though!

sweet lights / mods .... I really love those OEM rims and lugs on the NBP TLS

BlacuraTLTYPES27

Thanks, I guess lol, that was my 1st time using my dad's camera

Much Appreciated



Thanks a lot, I don't have the scratch for new rims so I decided to spice it up a bit with the lugs to accent the red on the car

Looks great man, where did you get your license plate LED's from?

BlacuraTLTYPES27

^ SuperbrightLEDS.com they are 921x9 wedge base LEDs

and thanks for the positive feedback

BlacuraTLTYPES27

bump for some awesome comments

cellph titled

Umm I actually do lol. Only reason I do is because on my side of the street. We can't get any type of internet faster than dialup because the cables arent up to date. I live in the boondocks, doubt theyre going to update the cables anytime soon. Thank god for 3G phone internet

clean, but a drop would make it look cleaner

BlacuraTLTYPES27

^ would really really love a drop, but my dad doesnt want me voiding any kind of warranty, so this is probably as far as my car will go as long as its still covered with the exception of maybe a sarona or atlp window spoiler

07tlsWDP

do you have an intake?..
doesn't that void all kinds of warranty coverage?

either way..i'm digging the red lug nuts!

BlacuraTLTYPES27

^ i do have an intake, but i take it off if the car goes to the dealer. im not looking to be sneaky, but i dont want to take any chances.

but more importantly, Thank you!
