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...
Regardless of my opinion on the looks, you have a great attitude toward critisizm. Good luck with the car!

Just the list alone and having done some similar mods make me know you are a baller for real. I know this build is well desired. Keep us with more pics. This is definatly the sickest TL on this site and problem this whole world.

I hear you on the hobby thing and before it was track racing for me but since they shut our one and only race track here in hawaii i switched to a show look than performance. Rodney you and Agim has been a huge help in my future mods and i have to thank you and him for all the help. Ill let you know if i decide to make the trip out to you guys , yes that is right drive my ride out there if things workout to be in favor of that.

as expected, car looks much better in an actual photoshoot. I still say the tail lights look dated tho but grats for being the first to push the limits this far, and pull it off. It's definatly grown on me. I'll be all caught up by next year, but then you'll have the next version out. and oh man, m45 is so my next car.


PS. who ever mentioned risky devils

they are one of my favorite "Car clubs" but they are NOTTTTTTTT NOT NOT NOT NOT a VIP club....they are drifters, lawl.

Turbo TL is a cool idea, but I want a 2010 Shelby GT500!

Looks awesome man, you really did a 180 from back in the day....love the exhaust tips too, they flow real well. Those wheels are balling on another level...jeez. I think the 07/08 base tails would look good too....someone do a PS.

I saw a LS460 yesterday and thought of your car

+1 to BLACKURA's recommendation, the window visors would look sick as hell and definitely set the car off. Not that it hasn't been set off already...

And to be honest, your car is looking a lot better than many of those other VIPs at that meet.

Thanks fellas for the comments... I appreciate it...

I've definitely come a long way... I just got really into the whole VIP style during the winter months here in NYC... I just wanted to focus my car build into a style... and not just freestyle it like I've been doing the last few years...

Please don't bastardize my car with those ugly tail lights from the Base '07-'08 TL... I beg you...

I think your current tails are perfect for the car and flow nicely. I wouldn't change them.

Visors aren't a bad idea.

Whole set up look remarkable! I'm speechless! Nicely done. I love how you did the custom Lexus LS tip. Give a very clean touch to it.

Yeah man... Thanks guys...

Lexus dudes would kill me if I get the TTE lip on my Acura... plus that joint is very expensive to cut up and make it work... Plus it's still a little sporty...

No doubt... My boy Smitty... That M45 is the business... No question about it... Those wheels are str8 fire...

Thanks again guys
