I like it...not really a fan of the halos, but then again, I don't think I've ever seen a set on our cars that I liked.
Edit: I did like demontls' red halos.

Thanks guys for all your opinions. I love the 3rd gen tl. But I am tired of seeing the same thing every where I go...that's why I switched it up after the accident. I will post the pics before. I know some people weren't going to like it...but to be honest I get way more looks and compliments now then ever before and all the lights (halo + LED strip) have independent switches so the lights aren't making it look super cheep as long as I don't have all of it on at the same time. I will post more pics. I personally think that the black hood looks better on white...but like I said....just tired of seeing a million silver tls and not many people doing custom work...now I stand out.

I photoshopped some blurs and high contrast but other then that...nothing else.

I agree with you...good thing I used plasti-dip...allows me to add or remove easily when ever I want. I will try it! thanks man! all black does make it look more honda-ish or less luxury.

I like yours...I had the same aspec lip until it got crushed so I upgraded to the darth vader look.

I had it that way and just got bored of seeing the same thing.

I like it. I think you need some black 18's or some kind of black on the bottom/side of the car to tie it together though.

Lex, I've merged your posts together for you.

In the lower right hand corner, the middle icon is a multi-quote button. This allows you to respond to multiple people in one posting. It will look the way it does now, since I've merged them together.

Cheers!

I like the paint job. Agree with previous poster about the grill/logo though.

Not a fan of the headlights.
