Thanks guys. I'm going to paint the front piece and rear trunk trim Gunmetal to match the wheels as well as lightly smoke the rear lights and rear reflectors. Small possibility I will paint the chrome trim around the windows black but as of now it will stay as is. Other than that the car is awesome. 6 speed trans is great. Needs to be lowered an inch for sure. I also have the advance 19's available if anyone is interested because I had them taken off the car prior to delivery. PM me or check them out in the blackmarket thread I made.

I bet the 09-11 base TL owner two spaces to the left is quite jealous of your car.

I like the blacked out grille insert. I bought a replacement insert piece to play with. I also bought some matte black vinyl wrap to wrap the insert with. I will post pics as soon as I get it done.

Looks good man -- but I think you might have a rear rake -- I'd measure your wheel gap between front and rear.

I'll shoot you my measurements when I get home. I had to head out of town for business.

Keep up the good work!
