Phu Pham's Stock 2000 3.2TL

Hello there. I've had my TL for about 6 months now. I haven't really had the funds to do anything to the car except get some personalized plates and limo tint all the way around. The interior is immaculate. Check it.

I have a 99 TL Laguna Green too.... what do you think about that color anyways?

I'm changing my tails as well, it make such a big difference on the look of the car. Where did you get yours?

Yeah no kidding. What do you think about these?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

I was a little skeptical with the color at first especially with the stock tails but now considering the red/white tails and seeing how it looks on your car, I'm definetly changing mine asap. I will most likely have LED as blinkers though.

So as soon as the seller answers my shipping questions and it is a reasonable one I will make my payment. I'll show you pictures when I do the conversion.

Now as a Laguna color owner, what type of window tint would best suit the color of our car? I was thinking either a light tint or go with a light charcoal reflective.

If it makes things easier, PM me.

JQ.

man, everyone is hating on the steering wheel cover! is that a sure sign that I should get rid of it? I like it because it makes the steering wheel easier to grab and steer.

I know a lot of people have told you it does not fog up, including myself (ive posted to other people it does not fog up) but lately, my aftermarket red/clear taill lights are fogging up.... THe lEFt one especially.... So watch out for this in aftermarket, other than that they are great... i plan on just re-sealing them when it gets nicer out

I found lipstick allover my steering wheel the other day... told the girly to wait in the car and blow the horn when the car warmed up.... I guess she didn't quite understand what I meant .. My car thanked me though, must have gained a few HP... ( oh, and I know that joke is from Maxim... thanks)

Damn your car is clean... Now I've got to go clean my car...lol. It never looks dirty until you see a cleaner one.

They would fog up only if you go thru the touchless car wash correct? Otherwise I don't see why it would.... unless we get a huge wave.... actually I won't go there.

I don't eat anything in my car and anything i leave in my car i try to take it back into the house. it's my get-around car, not a closet. so that's how things stay clean for me. i also don't take many backseat passengers in the ride.

Lol, I`ve had a steering wheel cover on my car for awhile. It`s alot easier to drive with it when driving one-handed. But I finally got tired of it and took it off, and oh man did the steering wheel loook so clean and bright and shiny.
