Thanks man, teins are great and they make the ride feel like OEM. I pondered for weeks on how I was going ton paint them and I decided to go matte powder coated machine face. The wheels stand out cause of the contrast and I believe I made the right decision.

I'm starting a new job in a week so I'll take some time and see how it goes, if it goes like I plan then full steam ahead with mods. My next mods are a BBK and what paeudomaniac did to his car with burned exhaust tips. I'm looking around for a set of those dual blue burned exhaust tips and haven't had much luck, I saw something on E90post and they look great, but it's hard to find a set of those in a 4 inch diameter.

Paeudomaniac really put together an awesome thread. I got a lot of my questions answered there.
Those exhaust tips are unique. I can't wait to see updated pics of your ride.
Congrats on the new job I hope it goes well for you. That's what it's all about. Work hard and play hard. I'll be taking a little break myself to get my money right.

So picked up the car after the rear fenders are painted and guess what I find, a huge scratch and slight tore in my driver side seat. I tell ya I have the worst luck I'm the world, I saw it after I drove away and in 1/2 a block stepped out to check that my rims weren't scratched, then I saw it as I was about to sit down. Man I'm pissed but it's going to be taking care off soon, I'll post a pick tonight.
Thanks, The Lip kit does look good, I really like the lip on ythe 09-11 allot more.
Thanks for the kind words
Thanks Marcus, this is my second 4G TL and im still in love with the car.
Thanks Jackieee, TeamsAcura TL is nicely done. let me know when your ready for the kit because Rob of acura of Lynwood gave me a relly good deal, My boy with the white TL has a spare kit that his selling, all it has is a few blemishes and hell sell for dirt cheap.

Thanks man, he's the most pickiest mother fucker in the planet when it comes to his cars. His car is clean and sharp looking, his TL is just a basic FWD no nav no tech but looks fantastic. Im shopping for wheels so lets see what I come up with by the summer.
Thanks man, I have some more pics ill post soon.
Im thinking forge stars, and im not into lip rims at all. Lips make the rims look smaller and here in NYC they crack and bend easy
Thank you sir but they look better in person, my boy with the white TL wanted to buy them from me cause they look bigger than the Vossen CV5 he has.
Thanks, if it wasn't that I got such a good deal on the car I would of purchased a different color, black is a bitch to keep clean and keep swirls free.
That white TL is looking sharp!
Maybe I'm just being bias lol.
Yours ain't too shabby either.
thanks bro, his is clean but mine is a beast. I have tein SS he has basic, I have the CT icebox and mine is a Advance model, he is just plain no tech no nothing and FWD. Nothing against FWD models,
So what you got planned for next summer? What kind of wheels? I hope it's with some lip?

I understand what you're going through with that black. I had a Magnetic Black 370Z before my WDP TL. It drove me crazy but it taught me how to properly take care of the exterior. Can't wait to see more pics.
Forgestars are nice. They don't have much of a selection though and I'm not really feeling their designs much. Step lip wheels are a lighter and stronger than reverse lip. They also make the wheels appear larger. Goes without say but not all wheels are created equally. Some are stronger and some are weaker. Fact is any wheel can bend with enough force. Just so long as they don't crack. That is where the difference is in quality and testing. Keep us posted what your going with!
i was about to get a set of 20x9 20x10 forgestar bnib for 900.. but after seeing some reviews of cracks and shit that can happen i backed out on the offer.. it still stands if anyone wants within the socal area.

Your right pot, I've not heard to many good things about them. In some forums I hear how eazy they cracked, one guy had a set for 3 weeks and they had multiple cracks on all the wheels.
actually he doesn't, but I think it was the flash for my camera.
That'll be the next size I put on the wife's CV3's... much cheaper than the 285/25's that are on it now and they could use the little bit more height... and wtf on the dood that rolled your fenders... I rolled hers myself... no issues just took a bit of time... he was just to lazy to keep adjusting the angle on the head every couple of inches to get them started... which is what took the time... once they started going it was like butter...
