GOT MY 2005 TL. Blk-on-Blk. Mods Next....
Well, lease finally ended on my 5 Series so I picked up an 05 TL Navi Auto with a great deal from Santa Monica Acura. I originally wanted Silver/Ebony or Anthracite/Quartz but I saw the Black/Black available and bit the bullet. No regrets. Loving every minute of driving for last week. Hardly anything to complain about so far, everything has exceeded my expectations .... 
Next comes the wheels.....custom made lightweight....
20 inches of course........i'll post pics when i get em.
Other future mods:
(1) HID Foglights
(2) Smoke-out Tailights
(3) 35% all around Window Tint-- no idea what moleskin means
(4) DVD Video Player/Playstation (when real converter comes out)
(5) Bluetooth Sprint PCS Phone (when good one comes out)
If anybody's got suggestions for places in Southern California to do the mods...let me know.
Thanks.

congrats on the new car. the mole skin is there to protect the tint from getting scratched. people who have installed tint without moleskin or felt have ended scratching their tint when the raise and lower their windows.

Be sure to check out the stickies at the top of the "Bluetooth, Navi, Audio, and Video" forum before buying a bluetooth phone. Some phones are more compatible than others.
I'm waiting on the PS2/DVD converter also.
Welcome and Congratz.

Thanks Everyone for the Welcome.
CAball88 & Hawhyen51: I'll follow up on the SoCal Tint link and ask for moleskin.
pimpravi: Glad you liked the 5's wheels...it will be hard to top those b/c offset on TL doesn't allow those 4" lips.
zax123: i hope the TL can live up to goal to meet or exceed the former 5 series, so far its about a draw, albeit different.
Minarets & ed99: As far as pics of my car its stock--so i won't bore you. It does look nice to me though! I spoke to my friend who owns a wheel manfacturing co. that makes custom 3 piece forged wheels... he said the wheel design I want (TL concept wheels) may be cost prohibitive to create without a lip (like the concept) so it may be awhile before i have any pics to post ;(.....
MisterLawyer: I'm an attorney too, what's your area of practice?
