Thanks. Next on the list is stereo system, but I think your right about the kit. Any suggestions on a kit and where to get it?

Thanks. They are: Custom One, Ravens. I believe they are labeled as hyper silver color. They also come in black.

I don't think the car even needs a kit I think it looks nice and clean as is.

Looks good, but I have to agree.

Interesting as I wouldn't even guess the car has a staggered set-up.

FWD based vehicles should not run a staggered wheel and tire package. Hence my point of wasted money. You succeeded in making the car push more and didn't get the benifits of the looks. (As the Vette demonstrates what a real staggered set-up looks like)

Do you have a seller you recommend buying the spoiler from?

I agree that the set up looks nothing like the staggered set on the Vette or any sports car for that matter, but it is a four door sedan and my intent was to have a slightly wider profile from the rear. The push you mention has not affected my daily commute to work and I have no intention of driving my sedan like a sports car.

Love the color of your car. A slight drop and the body kit and you have a home run. Looks good.

Looks good! Love that color...we wanted Borealis when we were buying...but here in Cali...it's RARE to find them in Tech pkg. here. We like our Basque Red Pearl we got & we were looking at those rims too! Haha.

Yes, most here got theirs from the eBay seller BMWOEMSHOP. I got mine from them and was happy with the product, fit and finish.

I definitely feel the road a little more, but it still rides smooth IMO. Im the type driver that likes to feel the road a little and don't like the way a Lincoln rides for example.

The car color appears to be Forged Silver Metallic which I believe was offered only in 2012. It so happens it's the same color as mine and I have only seen one other in my area. Yep, it's good color.

I ordered my springs , wheels, and tires on the Internet and had KC Trends put the springs on. The pics were taken in the west bottoms of KC.

Royal TL,

Thanks. I keep on hearing nothing but good things from KC trends. Even my brother, who lives in Los Angeles, told me his place recommended KC Trends to get my TL work done.
