Updated pics of my TL

I decided to post some updated pics after getting new tails and headlights over the course of the past 2 weeks

Car is dirty because we had a random snow storm yesterday evening.

Now on to the pics:

Nice looking car. One thing though that seems odd. That front lip looks as if it we're "tacked" on. Its def not the lip from the A-Spec kit for 04-06 models so where's it from?

Very Nice! Like the conversion up front. Is the rear lip just a tad low? I don't have the lip kit, but I thought that rear lip is supposed to sit just on top of the little ridge in the rear bumper.

wow good eye.. you're correct. i didnt notice it lol

I had to pull the rear lip on the sides in order to access the screws to push the bumper down to install the tails. I'll just leave it as is for now since im gonna get that dent on the passenger side rear lower fender repaired ( seen in the last pic ) later in the spring

Thanks! yeah the base tails really give the AM some spice for the rear.
Regarding the exhaust, they are just tips, you can find more info on them here:

Thanks Tyler, your headlights were my inspiration so i decided to go the same route as u :P

lol they will be on sometime next month, for sure by April. Weather now is just unpredictable.. I was in the process of putting my taillights on with the help of a friend yesterday, checked the weather and it only said cloudy of 49 degrees. Next thing u know, We got 1 side on and it started to rain out of no where.. So for the next 1/2 hour we were trying to hurry to finish it up all being soaked soon after we came back inside to warm up and eat, it started to snow about 2in

looking good! some wheel spacers would make the stockies look so much better. I put some 25mm in back and 15mm spacers up front, changed the whole look of the car.

looking good, andy.

i bet you're dying to throw the works back on tho! lookin' forward to our photo/vid shoot. let's do it before the cars/cure meet or maybe even same day. we'll have a lot of TL's that day so it'd be a good time to get it done.

I plan on getting 10mm-15mm for the front (8.5 +38 offset). The rear is 9.5(+38 offset) so its really close to flush ( for my other set of wheels )

I really like the conversion you did for the front. The 07-08 base A-Spec lip kit is definitely alot more noticeable on your color TL compared to my NBP.

Where did you get your Type-S trunk lip?

why a satin/matte finish? candy coats look sweet in any color, and purple is the most badass. i am biased though.

you mean like a bright glossy purple?

i was thinking more of a matte purple bc i don't want to stand out like a highlighter. a nice dull purple (medium-dark) is what i had in mind. need to play around with PS.
