Finally got my hands on one!

After several months of negotiating and test driving a bunch of cars (335i, IS350, 528i, 350z...) I decided on a 2008 WDP TL with Nav. I've only had it for a couple of days but I already love this car.



I'm new to the site and don't know much about modding but I like the way the clear headlights look. How difficult is that mod?

Welcome to the AZ community and nice choice! You don't have to be big on modding to be part of our family here. I'd suggest getting some tints obviously and whatever you think is tasteful. If you do a search for the headlight mod you will find a very detailed DIY to get an idea of exactly what's involved!

Actually, my top two choices were NBP and WDP but since i already have a black car, I went with the WDP.

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to a very insightful and knowledgeable community. You'll definitely find just about everything you want to know about the TL on here.

With the headlight clearing mod... Just make sure that you can pass inspection (if TX requires inspections) if you remove the yellow lens... maybe you can put in a chrome painted bulb that flashes yellow. In VA the laws are strict and I've heard of people having troubles getting their cars passed with cleared headlights. Due to this I chose to black mine out, which still looks great and complys fully with the law.

Congrats man! I just bought a 08 KBP TL-S. I have had it for 4 days now and it is awsome. So much to do when you look around on this community. When I was looking to buy a new car this site was one of the reasons I bought the car. I went 20% all the way around and it looks sick!

Seeing that you are from cali, you're probably going to laugh(I know I did when I moved down from ny). The house is about 2300 sq ft and it sells for 189K brand new.

Congrats on the car. 189k for a nice new home... That wouldn't even buy a closet in the Bay Area. The last condo I was looking at went for 288k and it was 1br 1ba and a carport lol.

Welcome to the boards. I love your color. The TL looks good in any color, but black and white are the two best....the ying and yang of the group.
This forum will help you spend your money wisely on great mods and how to keep your baby in tip-top shape. Congrats

Gotta love Texas (especially for the houses!)
