To be honest, I wasn't either. But eventually it grew on me. But thank you for your kind words!

The 3G is nice... but that RJ rear bumper fitment is... off.

Pictures are nice but the post processing could be toned down.

Thanks Sean! It would be difficult, but at least 50-75% of us would be nice.

Thank you jmkiang, I'm well aware of my flaws on my vehicle. It's a huge pain in my ass, the color doesn't match, the fitment is off in 90% of the grooves, Once I get a garage to work in, I assure you, this problem will be fixed. But until then...I'll just have to suffer.

On to the pictures, Thank you for your constructive criticism. I really appreciate it, and I'll definitely keep that in mind for the next batch of photo's. I may have gone overboard w/ the HDR processing.

I haven't seen one RJ kit that fits perfectly but it still looks great.

As for your pictures, I'm glad you took it as CC. HDR is super fun to play around with to get some crazy looking pictures but you'll soon realize that overdoing tone-mapping actually doesn't look that great. It works on some pics, not on others.

Nice car! Your TL with the RJ kit looks stunning! The stance is almost perfect, I think you just need to adjust the fronts a little bit lower. I bet you break necks when you're driving down the street.

Not feeling the stock CL at all though. If not for the wheels, it's meh. Shoot even with them, it's meh.

And I agree with jmkiang, the HDR proocessing needs to be toned down a bit. It makes your pics look blurry and noisy.
