Next Mod Suggestion

What do you guys suggest for my next mod? I don't want to mess with any engine, springs or exhaust parts. And I don't want my car to look rice, neither. I want something that's subtle, yet noticeable and won't ruin the luxury car look of the TL.

I couldnt agree more. Even if you dont tint it dark, the level of UV protection and heat rejection alone is worth it (depending on the quality of tint you choose of course). Tints were first on my list along with a radar detector.

Tint is not bad idea. I think I'm going with that before summer gets here. I'm also thinking about painting my calipers red. The paint is cheap (like 60$ CDN) and I can do it when summer comes and I send my car to detailing. The shop got a jack and can do it in a snap. What do you guys think?

Hmmmm.....I have red calipers, so I think I can comment on this without sounding like an attack. To be honest, I like the look, but for how long? I've seen worn out red calipers, and if not properly maintained will look very dull in color. If I had to redo my whole paint experience again, I'd go for black. Why? because you never have to maintain them (cleaning brake dust is a bi@tch), plus whenever you have to re-apply the paint you dont have to worry about splashing it all over the place because you want that wheel well to be black in the first place. WIth red, you will have to be more carefull where the paint lands.

I cannot stress enoughh the importance of tint! My TL-S is the first car I've had w/ tints and I will never get another car without it.
