DJTanveer's SLOW progress thread

So i figured its time I make my own progress thread. Like the title says its gonna be a slow progress thread. Ive had my 09 fwd TL since 10-12-10 with 33530 miles so far.
my mods are as follows:
V-leds switchbacks
led drl
window tint
HID 6000k fogs and low beams
reverse LEDs
full led interior conversion( including dash and glove box)
Tein SS coilovers
6 arm rear camber kit
Ronjon Grille
Ebay rear roof spoiler/wing
I think thats it for now.
future plans include lip kit from Ronjon and Wheels too.
on to the pictures!!!!!

Coming along nicely, the drop and grille are great, wheels and a kit would make it perfect! Can't wait to see what she will look like when you are done.

thanks! I did it because i never liked the yellow from the running lights and the drls. i definitely recommend the switchbacks.

I bought my reverse LEDs from a overseas website called dealextreme.com. heres the link(hope it works) these bulbs are close to the original brightness but not as bright. Since they were only $9.40 I figured it was worth a try, i found another site that carries Cree reverse led lights for cheap so ill update when those arrive.

I think the roof spoiler makes a big difference. I got the Ebay one from BMWOEMSHOP (seller) it was like $85 painted and shipped.

DJ, you've done a lot to your TL. It's not that slow of a progression. Keep up the good work. The RonJon accessories look excellent.

SO today i was cleaning out my trunk (spilled something) and i figured i'd show off my sub setup.

I have a custom Fiberglass sub box that I made myself back in december. in it I have a 10'' w6 v2 and the boxes displacement is about 17.8 liters (W6 requires 17.7 )
My Amp is an OZ VA700.1. Ive had the amp since my original car in 2007 so i'm planning on replacing it with a newer JL amp in the future.

Oh and my trunk tray is wet because i was just cleaning it....

on to the pictures

What do you guys think?

i like what you have done to your car so far, however i don't like what you did to the ron jon grille. i think it would have looked much better if you hadn't touched the middle bar.

I chose to make it black because i eventualy plan to black out the headlights and i think it would flow better that way. But its nice to get other opinions too. Who knows, maybe ill get it painted to match the stock silver headlights.
