how did you make sure the legs were the right height so there wasn't any wobble?

It does look pretty equa-distant...

I think the outgoing STi is better than the new one, but yeah the older ones were some of the best looking. New one looks too Ford Fusion-ish from the front for me.

Part of it I think I just got lucky, at least on the outside metal ones. There are also 4 interior 4x4 legs. Each of those was slightly different heights and I had to measure each one really carefully.

It does get wrinkled pretty quick. One of those things you will learn to deal with soon.

They do look somewhat similar. Mine however screams quality since I used solid oak boards instead of particle board crap.

My dad helped me build the night stand. It was more complicated so I was just the helper and he was the brains.

No, it's a few boards i put together and stained black then coated with some polyurethane. My PC is underneath there also next to the bases.

I only took 2 WIP shots.

Would still take a TSX over a base TLX tbh. Rear of the TLX is generic, but the front end looks nice.

Would a 2014 floor mat set fit 2011 TSX? I am guess they would, since they are essentially the same car. Someone who just got a 2014 is selling their brand new floor mats because they got other ones. I just thought I'd grab them have have an extra set even though mine are still in pristine condition.

I guess it's whatever type of silicon adhesive they used for my windshield, but it smells great in the cabin. It's got that new car smell again!

I never realized until I took a manufacturing class that the "new car smell" is actually the out-gassing of the plastic pieces in your car.

When they first started putting a lot of plastic on the interior, people complained about the smell, but advertising put a spin on it and basically made it known that a "new car will smell" and convinced everyone that they in fact DO like the smell haha.

Inherently.. out-gassing is not really good for your health haha

Saw every version of the TLX today at the dealer, my dealer has like 500 of them... Car looks decent I guess but doesn't really stand out. And the interior has wayyyyy to much chrome. Its horrible. I prefer the TSX's looks but i still need to drive a TLX.

Yeah it really does. I had to double take before I even realized it was the new TLX. Then I realized, quite literally, that I was surrounded by them. Seriously... my dealer must have got them all. There were a million of them.
