Positive dude... it all depends on the color of your interior, which I have a light interior.

The first words that come to mind when I see this car:

Clean, Simple, Proportionate, Effective and Appropriate.

This is what a TL should look like IMO. The wheels fill out the wheel wells proportionate to the 1" drop from the Eibachs, the factory A-SPEC kit is enough to give the car a lower look and stance without going overboard. The deck lid spoiler is always a crowd pleaser. It's nice to see someone man-up and throw some 20"s on there with a nice lip that ISN'T chrome. F-chrome, this car has an athletic stance and design, you want chrome? go buy a Caddilac.

jtow, 20's are the way to go.. there is another person on here who has a setup with 20's (not chrome) that I also like (acura101west) which you may like too.
