yeah, but I just don't see the point. This car is anything but a performance car. Market it however they want, it just doesn't have the power which would justify the money on a BBK. I'll just have to wait for brembos when I get a hellcat or a GTR or something else next

bro, your dics so small!


I know what you mean, but that's cause we're enthusiasts...I think overall, the damn car looks very mean and needs nothing.

I, too, have the Still Night Blue Pearl TLX, and I followed your mods with interest. More specifically, the SFactor Fabrication Splitter kit. I email SFactor Fab to inquire about installation requirements, but never received an email back from them. Is there any drilling or front bumper removal required. Is there any way you can pdf your installation instructions and email them to me? Thanks, Rob

no drilling on the bumper. You just use the existing holes in the bumper and replace it with new supplied hardware. You have to drill holes in the front splitter, tho, where those holes are.

Thank you for your response. I looked at the rear bumper on my car and I'm sure that will require drilling because there aren't any existing holes. What about the rocker moldings, any drilling to install the side pieces?

sorry, yeah. Those will require 3M double sided tape and self tapping screws that come with the kit. The sides are pre drilled. Basically 3 small holes in the inner lip of the rear bumper and a handful of small holes down the under side of the side skirts. Nothing you would ever see if you removed the kit later.

Man, I love that scenery in your neighborhood.

If the TLX came somewhat like this from factory, I'd be all over it. I want to see some ass shots of it though.

Thanks again for all the compliments guys. Here's a little before and after. The white TLX in the top pic is what I traded for this one.

Well fuck. For some reason the pic isn't working. It uploads but then doesn't show. Might be my connection as I'm in a bad service spot. Ill upload later

Interesting, I never noticed that either. Looks that way by those pics.

yeah the new front end doesn't have the slope it used to. It has a Tyra forehead now.

So, when you removed the front license plate holder, it didn't leave holes?

What do you think about the sideskirt extension attached to the rear bumper? From some angles, it doesn't appear to integrate with the rear bumper, like the rear part of the skirt should be more tapered so it doesn't stick out as much. Is it just the angle in the picture?

I think that is just a matter of preference and opinion really. Some will love it some will hate it

edit: the holes are there but not very noticeable. It just looks like a bug if anything. The color is dark enough not to notice. I specifically told them not to install the plates before the car was delivered, however it was a dealer trade and the other dealer already had installed it
