Talking Got my TL back !

Finally got my TL back from the repair shop, whats it been 5 weeks ?
Man I hated that Saturn rental car.
The shop had so many wrecks before me, I had no choice but to wait
They did a very good job, just like new
Glad to be driving my TL again, I felt like I was out of the loop

Welcome back!
I can't imagine driving a Saturn for 5 weeks, I hate driving the loaner 'Teg for 1 day!
Have any pics of after the repairs?

Glad to know that you got your car back. Hope this will never happen again, and hope it won't happen to anyone else as well.

Dude...I don't see a front license plate or inspection sticker or registration sticker on your car. Is that legal in Florida?

Looks like they did a great job on your car. Hope it drives as good as it looks. To answer a previously posted question - In Florida, we need NO front license plate and have NO state inspections - quite a change from the money-making racket I was used to up North!

thanks guys
Tommy I don't remember what % tint I got, But I got the same thing all around. And I have the whole windshield tinted
The fogs are from the Odessy in Japan, they took alot of work to shape them to fit and make a braket to hold them in place
Pain in the ass
After seeing the TL-S, I think they would of been better off just putting foglights in our bumper.
I am not going to trade it in now

Cool

Congrats, the car look great, as usual.

Did you order those fogs from the dealer? If so how much did they cost? I think those are the ones i want for my car.
