In his defense, I like the rim style, but I don't think I would have done 22's. I find it hard to believe he could have lowered the car by much after he added the cars. I agree with everyone else so far though, that's one sweet a$$ interior!!

you know you've got too much money when you put two lcd tv's in your fawkin' trunk...



and after having a 7" widescreen flip-down in my pimpala, i would go with headrest monitors in my TL (which i plan to eventually do)...

Ohhh ahhh. Nice interior. GHETTO RIMS. Definitely not my taste, but it's not my car and I don't have to be seen with those...

2 tone looks great, reminds me how i wanted to do that in my '99 Maxima

heres some for example




I checked katzkin.com where those 2 tone seats came from in the pics, but they don't have any applications for the 2nd/3rd gen TL

well his other car is a mazda milen on 22's as well

rims look good, but they are on rubber bands. they would last in RI for about 4 days and then they would all be cracked.
i like the interior, but one thing i LOVE about the TL is the preforated leather inserts! he got rid of them! i would have went with preforated black, or black suede.
also, did he dye his headliner, i don't remember camel having a black headliner.

I'm kinda doing a similar 2 tone thing as well... Although re-doing the seats like that wasn't in the plan. That looks nice but $$$.

I've replaced all the plood in the doors and center console with the OEM fake Carbon Fiber and installed the the two matching CF stickers. This is quite nice looking.

I replaced all the rubber mats in the doors and the floormats with black mats.

I plan to replace the back of the middle console with a black one, then cover that the OEM carbon Fiber sticker as well (this way all airvents are black).

I also plan to replace the rear "parcel shelf" (covers the rear speakers), with a black one. This gives a neat visual appeal, as the dash and the rear are both black. I'm trying to follow the flow of black to parchment, all the way to the rear of the car.

I've considered replacing the armrests on the doors and center console with black as well... but that's $$$ too.

I like black headliners, but not sure i like the 2 tone on that one. I wish Honda Acura provided black handles/visors... I would have replaced them too... but they're grey on ebony finished cars

Ahh decisions.

he has to have an exhaust as well, because there is no other way he could get his stock tips to stick out that far out of his aspec kit

does anybody know how much it would cost to get a 2-tone leather job done? Looking at the pics, I like the fact that the black leather strips still have the perforated leather. Wonder if they used black leather material from an OEM Seat??

When i first got my SSM/ebony TL the first thing that came across my mind was to do some silver piping kinda like the previous gen e-class and the previous lexus is, instead of 2 tone colors which require much more $

As for the interior of the TL, the seats and doors are nice, but not feeling the black ceiling with parchment handles.

If I had that much money, I would have gone with an RJ kit.

I was waiting to see this on here!! Finally did... I saw this guy in Wasaga Beach, Ont.

During May 24 long weekend, Wasaga is a car show.. When I saw it.. I could really believe someone did it.

I was handing out cd's of my buddy's demo to the car that were driving up the strip. I stopped him in the middle of the street, held up traffic just soo I could get a good look.

i know it's for show, but it's also really stupid...i don't see how putting a tv underneath a vehicle gains that much business....i'm sure the orders are just racking in for a 15" lcd tv under the car near the exhaust... same thing goes for a 50" tv in the trunk...you gonna stand around the back of your car w/ your homies watching tv? ....a TL with 22's is for show...a car with a 50" tv in the trunk is crazy...anyways, i was just commenting on how people with too much money spend it in the dumbest ways...but everyone has a different taste...

How effective is that car as a winter beater if it's on 22's? I call on the car owner; he/she is just trying to sound like a badass. I know someone discover that he/she also owns a Mazda Millenia, but come on.
