Cheap*

Maybe an interior trim kit? I think a panel is around $40 or so.

LED lights for interior?

Aluminum pedals?

Not exactly cheap.. but I decided to fix all the blemishes on the TL. They been there for too long and its time make the car look like "new" again Car is still at the body shop as we speak. Picking her up today. My early X-Mas present, followed by a porter cable kit next month!

Speaking of mats, they have the trunk mat on eBay, there was a thread a while back, the seller will accept $30 or 35 for it, I can't remember if he'll do $30....

A set of Acurazine stickers always look good on a TL. Click the link at the top of this page and donate to get those stickers


And most importantly, it benefits the kids

bought detailing goodies already to share amongst all the "babies" at the house...um...another car cover for the TL...

hmmm....inexpensive stuff...i don't know what those are. everything on my santa list is pretty pricey. we already have a few items for my other hobby on order...

for ideas for others: inexpensive: LED lighting, vinyl wrap, AZ stickers from the child's play charity...

expensive: how much money do you have?

Since I just bought my 2005 last week, every day is Christmas as he's getting new maintenance items every day....wipers, bulbs, oil, F&R rotors & pads, K&N air filter, etc. MOOG sway bar links arrived today, but waiting for 3&4 tranny switches to arrive to crawl underneath one time when I do the 3X3 fluid change. For a REAL Christmas present I'll de-wax him and buff out the paint...

Does that mean your TL will be out of the garage. Sold my husbands car. Two cars are not needed. Saves on the insurance, reg. and maintenance costs.

The TL pretty much needs nothing. Maybe a nice wash and wax will suffice.

intermittently over the winter on nice days and no wind blowing. my other half is not liking the prospect of freezing his ass off first thing in the morning over the winter. meanwhile the evil tree still sits standing and looming over our backyard waiting to spit another of it's limbs in the direction of our driveway.

Gonna be maintenance for me (not necessarily done right at Christmas). Waiting for a killer coupon from oemacuraparts.com to buy front shocks and springs. (Current coupon is for $10.) Also plan to replace all three LCA bushings on both sides. Brake pads will be due soon as well. On the less expensive side, I need to do a radiator coolant drain-and-fill, 3-yr brake fluid flush, power steering fluid flush, change MTF, and change clutch fluid in the reservoir. And toss in an alignment for good measure.

For gifts (to more easily accomplish some of the above) how about a car lift, new floor jack, hi-power air tools with massive air tank, Motive fluid transfer pump.....and of course, nothing says "I love you" like the gift of coolant, brake fluid, GM MTF, power steering fluid....
