Why the hell would a black roof look better on a "more aggressive" car than a luxury car. The black trend got big with Merc running black roofs. It is very at home in the luxury and vip world.

Also I put more aggressive in quotes because I personally don't feel it is any more aggressive than the tlx. Looks good don't get me wrong. But not very aggressive.

Everybody has their own view and preferences. I particularly dislike the black roof on a white Benz. A white car is attractive, but that black panoramic combination is a turn off for me. It may be ok with a darker color.

Sorry for being ghost for a while.

Working on something cool on the TLX. Still trying to put all the pieces together but very very close. Here is one of them.

Did you paint the roof spoiler before or after installation?

looks great, however in NYC with the potholes and wonderful roads here that would be tuff to keep my belanova white pearl in the same condition as yours. Enjoy, now you might think of tinting the windows, if you haven't already.

A quick change-up for the New Year with these Vossen Satin Bronze Finished Vfs2.

Front 20x9 +38
Rear 20X10.5 +45

What y'all think?

Not a fan of the Bronze color, but it does look nice. What is the best offset for a 20x9 "square" set up? Is it the 35mm that you are using?

We originally went with 20x9 et+38 all around "square", ok when it is stock height but when we lowered it, the rear just wasn't aggressive enough. Vossen does offers 20x9 et+32, with a spacer, it should bring the rear wheel just enough. We love the concave look in the rear, therefore we went with 20x10.5 et+45.

P.S. We did not modified or rolled any of the fenders at all, no rubbing or scraping.

Haven't been on Acurazine in months and this is what greets me upon my return, thank you!

I really love all the work put in to this project. It really makes me happy to see the TLX looking more like the concept that teased me at the auto show last year and not the production version that came out. Of course the exhaust bugged me, but even more so the wheel choices. They just dont match the car in my opinion. They all look like cheap aftermarket wheels people install on their ghetto 90's Ford Focus. But not this car, no, not this car. This one is done right! I'm mixed on the body kit. I love the shape but I hate that you can tell that its a bunch of separate pieces, unlike the 3G that was one piece for the front and back. Either way, its whats available now and I would have no issue checking that box if I were to submit my order today. A bit of a ramble, but its been a while so I feel like I needed to vent a sec.

Can't wait to see the progress of this car and hopefully many others to follow!
