I think its starting to look better than before.
It'll look even better with the WW side skirts.

I'm definitely gonna give you props on the new Wider Wheels that looks pretty damn sick.

The only other thing that i would suggest is to mold the fender kits onto the body.

not my favorite but the wheels are dope. ill pass judgement when its done and like everyone else said rather than it looking like you pieced it together get everything molded. smooth body lines make or break a car.

Thanks for all the comments and yes i was thinking of molding the flares but that will be later on till i can save to repaint the car again. Right now the flares are wraped in silver cf so i don't want to redo them.

i think it looks retarded. nothing flows and all the lines and crevices screws it all up. i do think once its ALL molded up it will look sick. u should mold that front lip, the widebody kit and while ur at it might as well mold the rear lip as well. the side skirts look real weird but when u get the WW on im sure it would look a lot better. i like the rims, they do look nice.

btw, what phone do you have? those pics look pretty damn good for a camera phone

Wait, so you only have the fender flares on one side??

Either way, like everyone else said, you need to get everything molded. Then it will look a lot better. Right now, it looks like you just bought a bunch of mismatching parts and pieced them together all wrong.

But it has potential.

I had to cut the inside tab and pulled the fender out. For those that wants to fit wide rims you dont need to do flares just cut the tab full the fender out more and you would have to camber the rear in or it will be sticking out.

what a waste of money unless your TL is a show car for show purposes only. All that added body work stuff just doesnt fit a TL. my two cents. TO EACH HIS OWN.

^^ I agree with Dwight, the car is starting to look better. I'll echo the others suggestions though, mold the the front and rear lips as well as the fender flares to the body and an your car will look much better. Love the weels BTW

I agree.

Rims fit the car well...good to see the black hood gone too. It also looks like you cleaned up the rear bumper...nice work. What mods do you have in terms of performance?

i like it, the wheels look sick with the kit. I agree molding flares would be better and the trunk fittament looks off as well.

I like those wheels...especially the 18x10's in the rear. Say what size of tires are you running for both the front and rears??

Always a mixed opinion with these over-the-top TL's...

On one hand, awesome creativity especially with those unpainted fiberglass pieces instead of just painting them SSM. BTW is your hood unpainted as well?

On the other it seems a little clumsy, although it may just be the camera phone but it seems as tho there are a lot of pieces that just don't fit. (id est. front bumper, skirts, fenders....) With that much to do I have to wonder how u consider this project "Almost done"? Also if ur considering molding the fenders (which is your only hope) then I have to again wonder why u went with the fiberglass finish?

Anyways I'm not going to end this with "to each his own" like most might. I know that I don't like it as is. But have no idea what it will look like nor what I will think of it when the "almost done" becomes the "finally finished".... so for now I'll say it's 1 nasty TL but it has a good load of potential.
