Thanks guys! Was a bit hard to wait because originally if I hadn't been stupid I would've had this like last may.. & the mods are on a tight budget as of now because I added down which wasn't part of the original plan. But all good I got my tints & license plate bulbs done just now. Roof spoiler, vinyl roof, drop, fogs/switchbacks & a few other light mods & exhaust & possibly audio are on the list of mods.

Oh & front & side lip kit soon but mud guards are coming this week.

^^ The 2nd picture would be the one I would suggest using for your Avatar.

The debadge looks good too. I'd leave the AWD badge on too-it looks good right where it is.

I didn't know those were available in black. Did you have to pay extra to get them that color from RonJon? They're the Harrow's, right?

By the way, your TL is looking good!

Lol let's just say you'll soon see some updates on his site regarding that.. Yes those are Harrows, in satin black, RonJon makes them in that finish Rondy should have the site updated soon with pics and details on satin black finish. Thanks for the kind words its still far from where I'd like it but definitely closer than when I started.
