mike,

that is much better then your old set up. you may want to adjust the tips a bit higher.. seems to be dropping down too low.

Vivmike I like the new additions to your TL it looks so much better. That drop is just right.

The wheels really help balance out what you were trying to do with the grille and the trunk. I think it would look really good either all aluminium or all painted the same color that you have the inner part on the grille. If you paint the grille and the trunk piece then painting the headlight/tail light housing would really set it off. If you're not going to paint the housing of your lights black then I would keep my reflectors red.

Overall good looking ride.

Thanks guys.

I've been busy with the sound system.

Installed Hybrid Audio Technologies Clarus speakers up front and Mirus in the rear. Went ahead and purchased a RF 3sixty.3 processor today.

I will post pics once installed.

Changed out interior, door, and trunk to LED also.

The mesh wheels look great on the 4G. What's the offset you're running and are you maxed out in the front?

Ebay...like 70 bucks and VERY good quality.

Get a good carbide drill bit for the brake pedal; much easier.

I think the custom forged 3-piece Miro 111's look good on the car. Like the exhaust tips too... The carbon fiber rudolph nose i would pass on, or at least paint the surround color match.

I thought about painting it, but then saw yours. Your TL looks like a Camary for some reason.

You don't post front/back pics for good reason...


colormatch looks good on black, and that maroon red color it looked good on. I don't like i've seen it in PMM, the silver moon is almost the same color as stock trim, probably not worth even painting.

The one pic i posted doesn't even show the front, but i've had my fun ripping you, so i can take it too... fair is fair.

I live near boston, JnC seems to do an excellent job, I may get around to it... Its one of those mods I see as being pretty subtle for the cost (like the lip kit).

I don't need additional lighting performance, the stock lights are great for my needs...

I think the car looks great and i get all kinds of compliments on it, order of magnitude for me was grill/rear trim, tails and wheels. Next is Tein SS. Lights are relatively cheap to do w JnC.

I think you are overblowing the difference with the lights, but you are defending your arrogant little buddy. So I understand.

Your car looks incredible BTW, was definitely a source of inspiration as i looked at dressing mine up a little bit

i wouldnt say JNC is cheap.... i have guys here in socal that can do the same job he does for a 3rd of his price.. He does do superior job, uses OEM paint. etc.. but overall it only needs opening and painting.. spray cans from autozone works well.

you should ask him how much does he charge and what is the turn around time.

i dont see why you wouldnt go with tsx-r swap while the headlights are apart.. the projectors are about 40 bucks from TRS.. and all you need to do is space the projector a bit. While the OEM projectors are good, the tsx-r are superior for its price.

btw.. it was an opinion.. dont get so feisty, women do that.. unless you are one.. also im not the first one here on AZ to say that it looks like a camry.. im sure there are several dozen people that have said it since the 4g first came out..

Cry baby.

Paint your headlights and get some TRD floormats; then your Camary will be good to go.

I had a fairly modified 08 Si before the TL. You are a small timer compared to some of the personalities on those blogs, but you have a lot in common.
