This is what makes me want to do yellow if I do aspec and wheels on mine soon. Everyone does red but the yellow just looks exotic and just sick!! I say do the black roof also, if you're going to keep the black wheels. It would flow well

That does look pretty sick! What about even going with a darker yellow such as gold or even bronze? i think bronze could look really good to. Maybe something like this but on a silver car with black rims?

@Donaldso718, it's painted if you read through the posts he explains what he did.

Really like the painted calipers, I might look into a guide or something....any coloring under the rims at all is just so sexy

I personally wouldn't do the black roof...the only time people see it is from above or if you're at stand still and i think it kind of clashes with the silver body.

Car is nice though

Hey man thanks for the kind words.
Honestly it was my first time installing one so i just followed the direction and it turned out really good. i think its just a hit or miss thing. some peoples end up not sagging and some peoples happen to sag. I just got lucky i guess lol. You thinking about getting the aspec kit?

Yes, i am considering the aspec kit. TL is my DD, i told myself no drop as NYC kills suspensions. But we all know wheels and a drop compliment the kit/car a lot. That and i dnt want to go over-board with mods; need to draw the line somewhere. Too often you read about enthusiast that spend $$ and if they could do it again, it would be a diff story... LOL

But your car looks great, awesome images. I'm sure when you look at your car, all the $$ spent takes a back seat.

Yeah i know what you mean. I plan on having my car for awhile so i figured all the money spent on mods would be worth it. It also pays back when people stare at my car or compliment it, just feels good to know i did something right hah. Good luck with your car and thanks again for the kind words!

^ Thanks guys
To NoMercyTL im running 225/40/18 for the tires. for my next tires i might pick up some 245s for more of a beefy look. I say got with a all black wheel if you want black because the silver lip is popular on a lot of cars now a days.
