Oh noooooooooooooooo! Well, at least the vents are removable. Some just like the bling bling. Reminds me when I saw the TL painted in Chameleon green.

Ugly, I actually saw a Vette plastered with a ton of those sticky vents all over.

On the contrary, she is a very well known fashion designer. So please be specific in attributes of "taste", though she may know nothing about cars..
As for the rest of you guys, i would highly appreciate it if you kept the "GF" statements to yourself

I was wondering if I was the only one that thought the GF comments by some of these guys were retarded. But it's the internet, everyone gets to be the cool guy and say things they would not say in person.

You can't start a thread off bashing your girlfriend and then get upset when others follow suit. That's retarded.

I don't think he was bashing his girlfriend. I took it sort of tongue in cheek. I talk crap all the time to my girlfriend but it's all in good fun. However if some random guy came around and started talking crap we would have a problem.

Back on topic, I've never seen these Buick vent stickers. Retarded IMO. From the picture I thought he had actually installed real Buick vents. At least the ones on my Buick are functional, venting miles of turbo plumbing heat.

Agreed. For purposes of this conversation folks, can we please leave the OP's G/F out of the conversation? Thanks.

The wheels and the vents gotta go. Although the vents might add a couple HP!

Well got to say the vents must go. I have the non Type-S stock wheels on my Type-S but only because I bought them on ebay with the all-season Michellins so I could drive it during the winter. The Bridgestones are like ball bearings when the weather is cold.

OK, drop the stick on vents, but those wheels are better than the stock TL-S wheels.

This.

Everyone has their own tastes, and as long as he's happy, he loses no sleep over what all of you guys think.


I'm sure the first time someone put the Type-S tails on a base TL, SOMEONE said, ("god, why is that guy trying to pretend he has a Type-S")

Some do not like the Type-S rims and the design. I personally don't like them myself that much and rather have the A-Spec rims. But maybe this guy didn't like them and traded someone who did for theirs that he did like. Nothing wrong with that. But the Buick holes has got to go.
