Cold Weather, maybe if you take it slow until they warm up.
Snow, probably not... best to wait on that.

so as of now these are the mods.

h&r springs
20" vossen wheels with Nitto Invo tires
Midnight shadow grills (thanks GunnerX for your help)
50% tints
and i de-badged the rear just now

I'm considering getting my headlights and taillights done by JNC, but i don't have another car to drive in the downtime, if i do it, what color should i go with? matte blank headlights or color matched?

I will do intake next, and i was about to get a full exhaust made for my car, but bought this instead (health first)

thanks guys, i love the car the way it sits, in the looks department i'm 100% happy, might do a set of HRE's over the winter for the car, custom monoblocks, but well see.

the car is very aggressive in person, people move out of the way, and i get a lot of stares.

love this car.

they are vossens but not the forged series. These wheels took a hit last week that i was sure my front right wheel was broken, i parked, waited, didn't hear any air, nothing, took it to get aligned and see if the wheels is fine, perfectly balanced and no problems, even for a 1 piece they are strong

no plans for the underbody kit, i like it, but i want a different look to my car, in black it is nice, but on my color, it doesn't look good, if it was a molded kit ya, but you can see it and looks tacked on, whereas on black it's nicely blended in.

depending on what i do over the winter in terms of real estate, and my business, i might either add and change a few things on the car, or just do exhaust (cat back) and intake and leave it as is.

Currently as far as i've been told there is no available catback exhaust system for the SH-AWD yet. Excelerate is working on a system that should be released soon.

hey Gunner, ya things turned around for the bad a week ago , let me know when you come next time, i'm here for a while, not going out of town anytime soon.

If i decide to do catback (i don't have cat ) i'll get a custom one made from the same guys that did my j-pipe, just have to decide on tips, keep stock, same ones as atlp or other one. we'll see. The car can use a change in sound for sure.

I would like to have the full exhaust, rear sway bar, and a proper intake, waiting on options.

i think i'll be done after. I really want a GTR or M3 but have 1 parking space at my condo

I have a garage, but if I got a summer car (which I'm on the lookout for), I will be forced to leave my 4G outside in the elements.

yup, and that's the dilemma i face. I love my condo, and i could move into a bigger condo/house, but i rather stay put, buy another condo on the side to rent out for now. This is the "smarter" decision, but i'm craving a new car or an addition to my Tl.

I think he's still trying to sell his wheels from the many other threads he opened on the topic.

Nice ride.... two thumbs up.... I still say underbody kit.... gives it a bit more of an aggressive look. Either way looks nice.

I hate to beat a dead horse but i think the body kit with those wheels and drop would look killer!!! I say body kit! There is another member with a kit in the same color and it improved his car by leagues. Sexy car either way tho.

might be closing the chapter to owning this tl, waiting on some more numbers and will decide by end of week. Got a new car in sights. So will be selling the TL as stock, and will be selling the j pipe, test pipe, and lowering springs seperately.

Thanks
