Srsly? just get the LS, no lie, here in hawaii, too much fools trip about VIPd TL's. not only that but too much ppl around america hate on VIP/JDM TL's. Get the LS, if i had the money to get something id get a fuga, but no mo money

his offsets are well into the negatives im sure. a 11+6 low disk has barely half the lip of his setup if that.

So you don't have Brembos, yet you painted the Brembo logo on your calipers?

Maybe I'm out of line, but isn't that really lame?

yes OEM exhaust still on the car... I purchased them brand new at the Lexus dealer... let's just say that they are not cheap... just go to the dealer and get them... I'm going to let them give you a price... I buy and forget the price and throw away the receipt 'cause I don't want to know how much I've spent on the car...

have fun...

The modification isn't going to be cheap... expect to spend at least $1000 before you said and done unless you do your own body work and welding...

i checked a local lexus dealer and its $66 a piece for the tips. so about $130 total.

im going to get an extra bumper and try to customize the bodywork myself.

however ill just have the OEM exhaust pipes done professionally

People have had 10s on the rear of the TL way before you even joined Azine...

I know one thing... There's going to be some serious 3rd Gen TLs hitting up the scene in 2010... I can't wait to see them all... I'm glad that I pushed the limit enough that people grew the balls to do it up right... Not just try to force feed some used aggressive wheels onto the TL as I seen this year...

Get busy fellas know one thing... This was just my half ass attempt... I haven't decided to go ALL IN yet for the 2010 show season... For now I look forward to my Winter mode look...

heh when i first joined people were doing 8.5 and like 9.5 rears thinking that was aggressive.... from my understanding, i guess i could be wrong

and no hate on you rodney i love you car , but you weren't my inspiration........... and i know your comment was directed towards me.

VipTL... It wasn't directed exclusively towards you... There were many members here that did that... It is what it is...

My goal this year wasn't to inspire anyone... My goal was to create something that I just happen to be into right now with a car I already had... If it inspired a few people to go the same route in terms of looks than be it... I'm just having fun with it right now...

As for Hawaiian dudes... I respect their hustle with pushing the limits with non-traditional VIP Cars... They are really into the VIP culture and pursue it, implement and execute at a very high level there... Props to you guys... Same gies with the dudes from Cali and Houston...

In the same token... I personally don't like the extreme cockyness and unwillingness to help others trying to do similar things... I've tried to reach out to dudes in the past, but they refused to help... That's alright, it just made me do my own hands on research and figure it out on my own... I thought it was all them dudes from that region that were like that until I met and communicated with a few that were the exact opposite of my perspective.. Y'all know who y'all are, I dont want to shout y'all out cause it might bring beef to y'all in y'all respective regions Its a pleasure meeting y'all dudes y'all already know, anything y'all need to know, let me know if I can assist...
