Headlights seem to be there

Anywho, looks like it could use some cleaning of the exhaust tips and the A-Spec, and a tow hook cover that matches the bumper paint.

wrong. There's no cutting of front bumper for an Aspec kit.
U only cut the rear bumper, if your installing the 07-08 type s rear bumper lip, if your planning on getting ATLP, XLR8, or Custom quad exhaust system

I don't know how everyone else missed this...but your grill emblem fell off. Duh.

But seriously, what everyone said is right. The grill looks pretty good by itself, but IMO, its somewhat aggressive and works better when the car already has other things done first. Sharksbreath is an example of where it works well. On an otherwise pretty stock TL, it doesn't quite fit.

^right. only do over the top modifications when you literally have nothing else to do to the car.

OP, i would get coilovers first. drop that thing. maybe get some spacers for your wheels (20 and 15mm), and an aspec kit.

you want to draw attention to yourself, but in a good way.

I agree with sharksbreath and a few of the other guys. You ned to drop the car before you do anything else.

haha well the only reason i'd say i did the grill mod (whether or not it being a "top" mod) is because it was cheap compared to coilovers or aspec... most i've spent is the 250ish on the tails and side markers.. so i'll definitely do the headlights when im saving for the aspec. Thanks guys.

It's amazing how much you can save when you do things yourself
