Beautiful! It looks a lot more "aggressive" now. I have the rear spoiler and roof spoiler also and it really complements the rear end I must say! Btw is it lowered, it looks like it is?

No, they fit perfect. I got them at Autoanything cheaper than anywhere else. Also the Intek was cheaper in there.

The car looks really nice on those wheels, especially the ass end. That spoiler helps a lot. I also like what you did with the grill.

The red calipers and red engine cover are a bit to 'fast and the furious' for me

i have to agree on the calipers. black would have been a better choice.

Or silver!! Silver looks classy and has a bit of pop to it too.

The caliper covers only come on black or red and the black will get lost inside a black rim.
When you spend $200. on something you most showed!

I like the red! Some people think its over played but it looks the sportiest. If it was black no one would notice it, no one. I painted mine red, didnt buy covers like you did I just bought some caliper paint for $6 but did the job!

Update: I just installed the rear camber kit and OH WOW!!! the difference is very clear, the car ride is better than factory wheels. A must have with after market rims. Super easy to install.

Thanks! With the RSS coils and factory weels was very bumpy and the cornering was not great at all, at 80+ miles the car was unstable. With the Niche rims 8.5 front and 10 rear, RSS coils w/o the camber kit was ok until you reach 80 miles then was shaking and I was really concern about my decision, w/ camber kit and w/o alignment was still crazy. Now is completed, like something was missing before, the ride is very stable and way less bouncy, I was able to go over 100 w/o any problems and looks like the coils got stiffer with the alignment.

By the way I did not spend $600.00+ on this camber kit like others, I got it on E-bay for $165.00 and i installed myself in 30 minutes. They are for Honda accord and they fit perfectly. Here is the link:

Love your set up. Looks great.

1st thing. Everyone here knows calipers should be Yellow. You can thank Modesto for that piece of knowledge.
2nd thing. How frustrating is it to adjust air pressure with the valve stems on the inside of the rim?

Lol on the calipers!!! Actually I have two valves on each rim. The sensors only mount on the inside of the rime and the nice chrome on the outside.

What are those lights in the lower area? Can I see a pic with them not on, possibly? Was it an easy job?

Nice, and when you aligned the car the rears were able to be put back to factory specs?

Red face roof spoiler

i was wondering if you could take a picture up close of the roof spoiler. im having a hard time picking one. i have white '17 TLX but many of the roof spoilers available look tacky or the pictures are too far away to tell how it really looks....

maybe an up close from behind the car and up-close from the side so i can see the angle of the roof spoiler.

IF POSSIBLE lol. thanks in advance
