Nbp06aspec Progress Thread-Update 1/28/15
So I bought my TL a little more than a year ago with 60k and I joined azine shortly after.
The day I got her (this isn't my car, but this is what she looked like, but mine had a sun roof visor).
A few months after I got her I added the aspec kit, type-s rear side markers, lip spoiler, window visors, and I got her detailed.
Shortly after I added the M/T aspec suspension on my 5AT
Next I added 18x8 aspec wheels
Next I went through a phase of tails the dealer never got the bezel of my type-s tails to match up so I gave up and picked up a set of 07-08 base tails and I tinted the white diffuser black
Within the past few months I added a few mods and I must say the ATLP exhaust is my favorite.
I got a good deal from on member on here that bought some tails from ACK05 that I could pass up. I also picked up an aem v2 intake for a really good deal.
I am really happy with the TL and I only plan to do a few more mods.
Future Mods:
Remove sunroof visor and pickup a roof spoiler
H&R springs
Nbp painted grill

I recently ordered a roof spoiler from bmwoemshop and I got the wrong color, has this happened to anyone? I was hoping to have a update, but it will have to wait until i get the correct color.

'07 TL Type-S
I got mine about a week ago and it was fine. It looks like it belongs on the car.

Excellent progress sir! Your car looks great! Good choice with the ATLP 
Any plans to get the orange diffuser out of the headlights?

Thanks.
Thanks for posting the videos as well, I must say hearing your TL helped me pull the trigger. Thanks. I love NBP, its just a pain to keep clean, I feel like black shows everything.

Mods please update the title to NBP06aspec Update 9/1/12
Today I installed blacked out headlights and wrapped the middle bar of my grille in carbon fiber. Let me know what you think. I will post more pictures once I clean the car up.

Quick update. Took the TL camping with some friends and wanted to share a few pics. By the way I saw my dream car parked right next to my TL on my way home, when we stopped grab something to eat, so I snapped a few pics.

The GT-R makes the TL look tiny in that last picture.

I couldn't find any brighter pics. Not sure why they came out so dark.
I added a jpipe over the weekend and the exhaust has a perfect sound. More power and an exhaust that is a little louder . I'll post up a clip later this week.

Update 1/28/13 Due to some idiot cracking my side mirror, I picked up a set of 07/08 side mirrors. I'll post up better pics once I get a chance to clean the car up.
I'm also thinking of doing HFPCs does anyone have any experience of the sound with j-pipe and atlp exhaust w/ resonator? My question is has any one experienced any rasp with this kind of setup? Also, does the exhaust become significantly louder?

Thanks guys, just a quick update.I installed some hfpc and man these make a huge difference in terms of power. I think I am nearing the end of mods, last mod will be springs or coilovers. I'll post up a video of my complete exhaust setup tomorrow. In the meantime i'll leave this video I found.
