He test fitted the rear for me and he told me he wanted to buy a full kit. I told him the rear might not fit, but he was like, Yes it does. I told him to take a pic and it was too late, He had already installed them on the 2010. But I asked him anyway how well it fit, He told me perfectly. Do you know how many customers hadn't bought the rear just because I assumed it didn't fit, smh.

The 2010 TL that had the kit installed, and below that is the installers actual TL who bought the wheels.

If this fit like the guy said it will give "12 + TL owners an option beside the ugly factory rear kit. I can't imagine the business you lost because of the assumption the rear didn't fit.

On the 4G TL you take out your bumper and dissemble the headlamp. Then you uses a head gun and heat up all around the area that the glue will be loosen. Then you pretty much take it apart and take out the amber piece. After that just put it back in. There should be a DIY thread on either the 3G TL and 4G TL as well. Good Luck!

Pretty much but there is someone here does it here if you pay them. I think JNC does it but you need to ship your light off. Or a DIYer can perform this on a full day. Have fun!

Thanks for all the compliments!

I'm trying to do some final photoshoot from my friend as my lease is going to be up in a few months. So will take off everything in a few months and will post on Black market.

I guess I'm alone on this, but it's a bit much? I feel as though you put one too many colorful/pop pieces on an otherwise plain suit, tie, pocket square, cufflinks and watch all jiving for attention and now they all just clash.

i think if he went all white on the trunklip spoiler and the boomerang it would look a little cleaner. Front and sides looks great. the black rear emblem matches rear diffuser, or go back to chrome to match the exhaust tips, either way would work.
Looks great regardless.

My theme was to make it a little contrast from white and dark color. My roof, side mirror, window trims, front and rear beaks are matte gun metal vinyl. Initially it was all black but I want to have something different as I see most car have black vinyls. Tail lamp are tinted matte vinyl to compliment the rear carbon fiber spoiler and also the carbon fiber rear diffuser. To make it pop on the rear, I brought an universal rear muffler from Remus. I didn't want it too loud and since the Remus gives a slight throaty sound to it, I can justify the interior noise. I added a red vinyl strip run across the carbon fiber center add on piece from Ron Jon front spoiler to add a slight attention. Since without that red strip, seems like it is missing something since it look out of place or too dark. Then the front beak, the surrounding area I had it in matted gun metal vinyl and the inside I have cover it with carbon fiber vinyl. Initially I wanted to have the front and rear beak in real carbon fiber but I see the cost of those pieces from the dealer I can't accept the price for that.

So yes that is pretty much my theme since a white vehicles with some contrast stands out a lot.

I think I'd like the overall look more without the tail light tint, red stripe on the front spoiler, the exhaust tips stick out less (reminds me of that Japanese mod theme where everything is really exaggerated and them get huge tail pipes that stick up), and if you also wrapped the shark fin antenna to match the roof.

Alternative for the taillights is to have JnC paint the housing, it looks ultra sharp.
