Getting rid of my CL-S
I'm going to get rid of my CL-S and get an Aegean Blue TL Type S 
I'm going to simply transfer the parts I want, such as my headers, CAI, brakes and wheels to the TL-S...
hopefully I can get this done within the month

Astro sounds like a plan. (I smell a joke here). And after you just posted pics of your car and how nice it looked.
Anyways if you really do this cannibalization can you hook me up with some of the perforations from your CL seats? :P

guys, it's like this...
I can afford the loss...My CL-S just isn't the same as it was when it was new...I've gone through my second actuator, my check engine light is on, and my tranny has acted up once...not to mention all the creaks and rattles the car has, it just sounds crappy
I've also been rear ended and had $18,000 worth of damage...that happened last December 30th...and my car doesn't line up like it once did...
I have my Porsche which has 2 doors....I am selling my VW and I have a 2002 BMW M3 that will arrive sometime in around 11 months...I don't need three 2 door cars...BUT I like the CL-S a lot...and I have always liked the TL
Now I can transfer all the best mods from my CL-S to the TL-S and have a brand new car from which to build the ultimate show car from...I want to show my CL-S all next summer but I'm going to need to do a lot of maintenance work including paint if before I could...If I get a brand new TL-S and turn it into a show car right away and avoid painting it...
Soopa, you may not like the idea, but I'm not about to move to the TL board just cuz I don't have CL anymore...this is my home, and here is where I'll stay...

I'm actually glad he's doing this, now he can pimp out this car and I will get to know what different mods look like without having to spend the money myself!! Works for me!!
