anyone who says "if they don't hate, you're doing something wrong" then that means you realize not everyone is gonna like your car, and you don't have any good reason for it other than to try and turn it on them with reverse psychology, using faulty logic. It makes no sense 
and no.... I DO like VIP.... to a certain point.

Wow... Thanks EVERYONE for taking the time to comment...
Not too bad for my everyday commuter car huh? LoL
I tried to focus on picture with the car slammed, so To please some people in the forum... I will get some that are stock height...
Here is my typical height... But it all depends on what part of NYC Im rolling around...
Found a spot with nice view...

I will apologize for being harsh but to me its just silly. I recently came from the corvette forums where you would get laughed at if you tried to make the wheels on your 500+hp Z06 sideways. Just two completely different forums and completely different cars I guess.
Now although VIP'ing lol your TL will never be cool to me I will say I like everything else about the car.
As for critiquing my car there really isnt much to critique. Its just a daily driven stock TL-S.

Hahahahaha holy shit.
I've got nothing else to say except that this is AWESOME. The work involved, the planning required, and the execution are all astonishing. Well done. It looks off the wall.

My guess is that you Illinois boys don't care for VIP style! Oh well...try opening a thread with your cars so we can critique you! Rodney has taken his car to the limit and achieved a new standard. Stop hating so much...at least learn be constructive. At least Kro had something nice to say first.

Not my cup of tea. I won't comment on the looks since I hate the VIP style but it looks like there was a lot of time and money put into it.
What I can't understand is throwing any semblance of handling out the window for looks. If this were a weekend warrior or show car it would be different.

^ cant really get the car over 40mph in NYC anyways 
I agree, it does compromise some driveability....
BUT, i think this setup has more versatility then slamming your car 2.0"+ on teins.... dont get me wrong slammed to the floor LOOKS amazing when you park it, but driving around on AIR is a whole other level... he can just flip a switch and go to a more reasonable height... cant do that on coilovers.... which made speed bumps, parking lot entrances and driveways a fun feat in my life, that i had to go in sideways, slowly...
FLIP A SWITCH BRO!!!! AIR is the shiiiiiiiit

Dude... looking at this angle, makes me think one thing would look bad ass on your... not sure if you dig it, but the Window Visors look pretttttty sick on some VIP styled cars... you see it all the time on the Presidente's, Aristos, Celsiors, Crowns....
i think black ones would look pretty tight on your car, will also accent the sarona wing more
Also, i LOVE that you went back to the red tails.... so much better looking on your ride.... you really do pay some serious attention to details like that....

No creative vision? Is that the best you can come up with? So I assume anyone who disagrees with what you like has no creative vision?

For me, it's going to be a turbo V6 in an Opel GT that I don't have to worry about smogging and weighs 2,100lbs.

i would just edit my post but i don't think it'd be fair..this is more like a second opinion. the stock height looks really cool. it's not for me but its very apparent you put soo much work into this and frankly, you don't find people that are willing to do such an involved process anymore.

"if you can Believe it, you can Achieve it"
more like, if you got the dough, you can achieve it.
sick car though and it is definitely vip in my book. now lets do something about all those aggressive/ sporty body lines and front end!

Thanks man...
It handles just fine... Remember I've widened the overall stance 6 inches... the car remains planted though turns... Air Runner did a very good job at designing this air suspension... If anyone has any doubts... just let me know... I'll prove it to y'all....
Also... I can comment because I went through every suspension available for the 3rd Gen (except the Tein Basics and the KSport)...
Yeah... there was a miscommunication between the body shop and myself about what each of us considered the term "MOLD"
... it's temporary anyway 
The extra line gives the front some character...
