Might be getting the TL

I am looking at trading my 07 ES350 in for a 3rd gen TL or a 2nd gen TSX. I am leaning towards the TL. . I just had a few questions I was hoping someone can answer.

1. Whats the best year? I am looking at 06-08. Anything to look out for? Last year before buying the ES350 I was looking at the TL-S but now I think I will go for just a TL.

2. After market warranty recommended or not? Should I bother getting a aftermarket warranty? I don't think I need to since its a Honda . The original warranty is 4/50k and how long for the powertrain?

3. Some easy cheap effective mods? I already have H8 HID kit for the fogs for my 5 series but I might install them into my TL and get another one for my 5 series. The TL uses H8 fogs correct? And changing the sidemarkers... I heard you have to cut/dremel...on my 5 series it just pops off and you can replace the bulb. What other cheap mods do you guys suggest?

Thats it . Hopefully will be part of the community soon.

If you're happy with the base 08 then get it, most unbiased answer.

the side markers pop out.

07/08

I wouldnt recommend an aftermarket warranty, the TL is pretty reliable.

3. Some easy cheap effective mods? I already have H8 HID kit for the fogs for my 5 series but I might install them into my TL and get another one for my 5 series. The TL uses H8 fogs correct?

There are tons of cheap mods. Stage 3 exhaust, led bulbs, etc
