My new 08 RL A-Spec NBP

So I have owned 3 TLs, an 02, an 05 and an 07 Type-S and just stepped it up to the 08 RL. My wife said now that I am 30 I am finally growing up.... little does she know, lol! The RL has the full A-Spec package installed since day one. The exterior and interior is pretty much flawless with only 44k miles. Picked up the RL last Saturday and just got the windows tinted today. I obviously have a lot to learn about the new car but so far I am blown away by how much nicer it is than a TL. I plan on doing lots of subtle changes over time but I am still trying to figure out all of the mods we can do on the RLs so I can make a list and prioritize it. I am big into detailing so she will be getting a full weekend session sometime in the coming weeks. Here are a few pics before and after getting the tint done!

These pics were taken with my cell phone the first day I picked it up.





There is some grass on the back from driving it through a grass parking area.



Here are the pics taken with my cell phone after getting the windows tinted. I had Ceramic Tint done all around. 35% on the sides, 18% on the rear, 80% on the windshield and 35% on the sunroof. This was done at Solar Control in Cumming Ga and they did an amazing job! Great guys and I highly recommend them!

Welcome and congratulation!! Car looks clean sweet as is especially with the window tints. There is a lot you can do to the RL and this is definitely the place to find out how to go about doing so. I envy you cause you have a ASPEC badge lol can't find it anywhere. NBP is 1 of the hardest colors to keep clean but the best looking color once it is, so keep it clean n shiny!

I will certainly be keeping her clean and shiny. As soon as I do a full detail i will probably post a full documentation of it in the Wash and Wax section.

It is the full tech package.

Nice RL. Looks like the previous owner took really good care of it.

He did indeed. There are 1 or 2 minor blemishes but nothing a cant take care of when I detail it and perform a full paint correction.
