Purchased this TL-S on 7/27/05 - Riding high!

I bought a set of wheels that were in pretty rough shape:

Lowered the car and removed ugly yellow film:

Added some Comptech Exhaust:

I rub when rolling 5 deep and going over bumps. On normal day-to-day driving I have never had an issue. I did file down the bumper tabs though.

I need that black strip that is directly above the headlights & front grill. I went to the dealer and there trying to rape me talking about that piece should run me $250.00.....LOL!!! Yeah right.
