I could deal with Pics 14 & 77, however the fully backlit panel would be too distracting for me.. I keep mine *very* dim.
Nice change though.

I'm at 174K but I bought a Villager (ugh) to use on my route now as I need the space in the back for carrying loads now and then. So the TL is semi retired now, but I can tell you this...NO valve tap on start-up, even when it was 9 the other morning, does not burn or drip any oil at all between changes, which is every 5K Mobil 1 5W-30. Hell I just destroyed some sort of Golf or Jetta that was toying with me the other night. You can't hurt these motors! By the way, great pics, esp. the one at 120...When the local dragstrip opens again in March I'll be there to see if I'm in the 14's. With my mods I should be close.
