I'm not sure at all what the recommended drop is but as of now the front is close to a 2 inch drop and the rear .25 higher than the front. I might lift it half inch all around but I'm still playing with the damper settings to see how this goes.

Back From The dead
Almost changes my mind between the old and new 4G. Great job on the mods. It definately looks like your camber is off between front and rears though?

That rear roof wing really changes the look from behind! Not a fan of the smoked tails, personally i like them all red, but that's just me.
Whats nice about this is it still maintains that "it came from the factory like that" look. Very tastefully done!

I look forward to seeing the pics!
I had an insert painted by our member Nexson. He did a great job on it. I think the gloss black is going to look much better than the flat black one I have on there now.

I left it like that on purpose because i didn't want it to just all blend in and because the front has chrome trim i wanted to leave the trim in the back to break it up a little bit. If I would do something to it I would Chrome it to match the trim in the front.. Its smaller than 09-11 tls so it adds a nice touch.

Sound system setup... All the interior cabin speakers were swapped out for FOCAL's.. Ill take some pics of that too.. Cabin looks stock except for the tweeters in front..The focal tweeter stick out because they are slightly bigger than stock but they look good... Sounds insane. The whole car was covered in Dynamat from the firewall all the way to and including the trunk.

Nice system setup. Did you consider adding a JL amp to power your fronts and rear deck. I also swapped out my interior speakers. Running Focal KRX2's in front and rear, Focal 4 inches in rear door and the mid from the Focal KRX3 for the center channel.

My JL amp powers the sub and all the speakers in the cabin. The AMP is the JLHD900. 500w dedicated to the sub and 400w dedicated to the focals in cabin. Its more than enough juice. I can't even turn it up as loud as it goes cuz my ears can't handle it. Cool thing is that I still retain the DVD audio surround sound.

Good choice. I have the 900/5 and also the 600/4. The OEM HU did not have enough processing flexibility for me and I'm not a big fan of the DVD audio surround sound. I've always gutted the OEM system but had to keep the OEM HU in this TL. Adding the JBL MS-8 has gottem me closer to what I wanted. Was a pricey endeavor though.

Nice! Your system must sound insane. Did u put a sub in back? I took out my sub and put Focals back there on the deck. The rear doors still have the stock speakers but they are powered down almost to nothing. The only speaker I didn't touch was the center channel. I'm very happy with this setup. Its better than I thought it would be and the sub in the trunk is more than I need. Let's not talk about price either lol especially with your setup. Can u take some pics and post them here or does everything look stock?

This was before the Focals and the MS-8. Below is the pics of the MS-8 install:
