Thinking I might finally be done

A friend of mine just got a Sony alpha 350 from his dad and was trying to get into photography, so he offered to shoot my car. I think he did a great job, much better than anything I could do. I also just got jnc to make me headlights, and I'm extremely happy with them. He did great work. All comments are welcome

I'd like to think so. I really want to add a deck lid spoiler, but I think that might be it. I've gotten quite a few college acceptance letters so it really is making me want to save my money, so I doubt the car will change anytime soon.

Your car looks great!

Smart move on saving your money for college.

College degree = bettter paying job = more money for mods (in theory of course )!

Your car is dead sexy except for the greddy cans. I don't think they match the classy look of the rest of the car. On a scale of 1-10, those wheels are an 11. Only other cosmetic changes that would complete it would be to tint the rear quarter glasses all the way to the edges and add a lip spoiler!

Nice shots D-town! I said I was done modding dozens of times. After a while, you'll get bored and restless and you'll want to do something else to your TL...it's a curse.

I know dude, I'm definitely going to get that and then that will be it. Thanks again for everything regarding the headlights, I've gotten nothing but great comments on them.

The only things left to do is rv-6 pre cat deletes of hfc's and a super charger. I definitely have been considering getting one. It won't be soon but it might happen within a year or two.

Haha although you're right, I know at one point I just simply can't afford anything so it will be easy to resist it.

Yea it is unfortunately, but I think with moving out and staying in a dorm I won't have tools or anything else with me, so atleast I won't have the means to do anything.

Nice . The more I look at these wheels, the more I want them. Maybe I'll be the 1st to rock them in Silver .Are these: 19X9F/19x10R with +25 offset? If so how flush are they? I'm thinking maybe 19x10 +20 in the rear would be BA.

Ride looks spot on. The only thing I would change is the rear chrome trim above the license plate to match the front grille trim. Oh yeah +23904832 for the decklid spoiler too

I have 19x8.5 +26 in the front and 19x9 +20 in the rear paired with a 5mm spacer so it is actually +15. And I'm almost completely positive that someone already has them in silver. I wish I would have order a 9.5 in the rear, but it's whatever.
