i think you picked the wrong car to rice out man. acura sedans such as this, imo, need to maintain a more luxury look, while all youre doing is changing it up a black lip and blacked out headlights as if its an old bubbbleback
case in point, look at this pic
it looks like a 01 impala from the front in this shot
i think you need to SLAM it to restore some of the look youre going for. those wheels imo, are KILLING it though, they look like some flea market junk. that undersized 6 spoke with 80 series sidewall doesnt suit your car AT ALL, especially now when it looks like a 4x4. even though youre going with a more performance look, you need to think more CLASSY wheels. i think 17" TL type S wheels are goign to be your best bet on a budget when slammed on some 35 or 40 series rubber.
here i took the liberty of doing a quick chop of your car slammed. as u can see, the wheels still look like . the side skirts dont jive with the lines of the car either, especially with the rear bumper not having any of the overhang the rest of the car does, so either put the stock sides back on, or do something about the rear. remember, with clean rides like this LESS is more in often cases. your car is GOLD, which is a hard color to work with. gold doesnt lend itself usually to the ricer sports look youre going for, you need to keep it CLEAN.
anyhow, im not trying to bash you, but just trying to give u solid advice that i think will help your TL look 100x better than the direction youre going in.
i gotta run, but tommorow i can have some more time to photoshop some different wheels on your car to show u what will potentially look much much better.

Thanks for the photo-drop guys! I am trying to save money for new rims, so these will have to do untill the rubber runs out, 2-3 more seasons. A drop is coming soon tho, not slaming it however.
I am definetely going to paint the front lip, and the rear lip is sitting in my basement rdy to be painted. I'm gonna roll like this for a month or so.
REMEMBER this is a WORK IN PROGRESS, I didnt say I was finished.

nice car man. i like the blackout headlights. cant wait to see the progress.
imo, it needs a drop, and new rims (which you say you're gonna take care of, so :thumbsup: to you). im not feeling the side skirts, but that lip is really nice. maybe it will all flow when its painted and the rear put on
