04 TL

New to the forums!l
Ive owned my TL for just under a year now and stuck to my original plan of going black on white, with a little tuner stuff here and there. Over that year though ive realized its not so much a tuner car as it is a entry level luxo car. With that said i think im turning a new page on my car and going for a car that is closer to VIP styling, without being a hardcore JDM VIP car.

Anyways, my plans for the near future is to re-powder coat my wheels to bronze to match the engine covers color, paint the roof the darkest of black that i can, then possibly some fender rolling to let me sit even lower.

Anyways, here is how it looks now.

Pretty much im going for a clean look that i can drive around and go on road trips with my girl and not have the typical rice box wanting to race me.
Any comments and advice would be great.

car looks good. if you want to lux it out a little more i would just suggest a nicer staggered set of wheels and a lower stance. pretty sure some of the hawaii guys can give you some help on the offsets of nice wheels wheels to fit your car flush.

oh and take your ride back to the tint shop, and have them retint your rear wing windows all the way back. the 1" gap looks bad to me. most wont notice but i tint for a living. and tell the shop that it can be done and very easily, they just have to try it.

How about: honda-tech.com. You might fit in better there.

Sorry dude, thats as far from VIP as it can get right there. Dont get me wrong the TL is a sick ass car, my cousin has one and I love it, but its not VIP. But at the end of day you still have a clean TL.

Switch to luxury wheels and go lower. That would kill off some of the tuner look, if that's what you meant.
