Looks nice, that color looks killer on there. Please post progress/final pics of your forced induction project! Turbo?

Looks too much like a cg6 with the lip, rear tow hook, lowered with mud guards on, door handles color matched, and rear tow hook. Not my cup of tea.

Welcome Scisree !!!
Thanks for sharing the pics of your ride. Great looking 2nd Gen, shows pride in ownership !!!
The color looks awesome and is complimented well by the de-chroming. Are ya going to color match the lip ? But, perhaps it's easier to touch up in black......considering your drop.

What size and kind of rims ~ tires are ya running ? And how about the lowering suspension ?

tire size-225/40/18
rim size-18x9.5 with a 20 offset
suspension-H&R springs with kyb r12 edition struts


and I was leaving the wheels the way they are until I can get similar wheels all polished, thanks for the feed back

lol your right but for the look and build of this car I was trying to give it a more aggressive look and also build a 2nd gen tl that wont look like any other. I see most ppl doing the same thing with the 2nd gen tl. they put the lip kit all around and lower it on some wheels and removed mud guards etc. I took a different approach this time.. this is one of many cars I've built! And I still have a few plans for it. (rear diffuser and a few more parts)

Keep her clean and sexy, bro, very nicely done if I may say so, but if I could make one suggestion brother, it would be this; hit the DIY section and investigate the mesh grille mod. It did wonders for mine and really cleans it up. Long Live the Floating A!!!
