Glad i bought my 08 TLS based on first look

Maybe its just me but i think the new TL pics look like a mix between a toyota camry and a nissan maxima/altima. Two cars that i f*ing hate.

I banked on not liking the 09 when i bought my new 08 TLS.

On a separate note, i have 20k on my car already and the front of my car is getting messed up, its NBP, any suggestions?

I am really wishing that i had put a 3m clear bra on it. If anyone out there just bought their car new... put the damn bra on it.

Yea its def notcheap, but comparted toa 40k car its cheap.

I am really kicking myself for not just doing it.

I dont think its worth it now because the paint is already messed up.

It really bums me out when i wash my car

For one the car looks more ugly with the protection on and the second the money it will cost u to put it on u can almost have it repainted.....i would never put such a thing on my car as it will also discolor with time and the paint wont match....

I don't think you will be disapointed with your 08 TL-S. I have one as well and it's awesome......

I agree, but after a while we'll all get used to it.
