Sporty vs. Luxury
i thought it would be a good idea to compare how the tl compares to each other when theyre modded to either "sporty" or "luxury vipish". i drive a type s and i see the body styling could fit both categories.

post up some pics of the 3g tl modded in both styles!

^dude, I think a dark gray/black grill and rho-plate relocator would do your car wonders.....

thanks but why the on my front plate? lol i think the rho plate is positioned a little to high for my taste, and its a bit expensive for just a front plate mount... yea i gotta do somethin about the grille... i was thinking sharkmouth, but its a little TOO aggressive for me. all the pics i've seen of AMs with painted/vinyled grilles don't look good to me, so im just trying to figure out what i want to do with it

You know I can't quite put my finger on it but it just looks like a giant 'tooth'..... also because it seems to be aligned with the lower grill lines but then the license plate isn't aligned with the ground so it looks slanted.

I have the rho-plate and a lot of the mounting locations look awkward but I used the one that enabled me to have it lowest and furthest to the side. You can rotate it so I had it level with the ground, not with the lines of my bumper or grill.
