Getting the TL...

So pop told me the other day that he wants to get a new car. He's looking at a Lexus since you have to add a BlueTooth module to any Mercedes that you buy just to have it. Oh and it only works with certain phones too. For example my friends dad just bought a new E series. he paid an extra $800 to have bluetooth in it. Then he got a brand new phone and it didnt work with the car. So he complained and they told him that it only works with certain phones...

Anyway, I asked him what he wants to do with the TL. He said that he is either going to trade it in or just keep it. I asked why dont you keep it and let me use it as a project car? He asked what I'm going to do with a 4 door sedan. I said a few things..

Drop it to a no finger gap
Factory Navigation
Either car computer or another screen where the radio is)
Intake
Headers
High flow cat
2 1/2 piping to some kind of mufflers (thinking dual Remus)
19" or 20" RH C4's or some other kind of mesh wheel (maybe RonJon...)
reupholster seats and headliner with suede
6 Speed Type S conversion (will find a totaled CLS 6 with Navi)(I have seen a few already)
Bore the engine to 3.5ish
At the time of the conversion, I'm going to paint it PDG with more flake in it. Or maybe a variance of it. (strip the whole car and paint EVERYTHING)
Headlights will be painted the same color
Shaved trunk
And some kind of lip kit if not a body kit that looks classy.

And then some other odds and ends...

What do you guys think?

Oh its a 2000 TL BTW

why dont you throw some rims on the CL? Yes the TL is a great project car. A lot of aftermarket support for it.

Man, what a vivid imagination!!Thats a hell of a list you told paps! Have you came up with the grand total for the project TL if you get it, you might want to start workin some overtime if that is possible.

Seems like this needs to be apart of the TL forum. I can't move it there so go ahead and repost there.

If it has nothing to do with the CL it shouldn't belong in here.
