I bought my base when the TL type S was only a year old...at that time the base value hadn't depreciated so it was still a good amount. A type S back then would have costed me in the upper 30's

^^^ 225 on a 9.5.....

that is stretched out like a bishhhhh......very well done on the rims/tire....

by not adding tints, your not adding contrast....I would add 35% or little lower tints at the least....I have 15% and absolutely love it.....am running black on black setup as well....the car flows well with that....

Wow. Very nice work.

I really like the navi conversion. How long did it take to do the work. It is something I may consider doing down the road if I have the money.

Thanks I normally hate black on black but I fell in love with these rims. My rear fenders are rolled completely but the fronts are stock so I need to allow the tires to naturally mold the front fenders more before I choose to go lower. I love the stance as it is tho
