These cars will last a very long time, I wouldn't worry about it.

Do you have any pictures of it?

Oh, and your mods look like they're the "best stuff" already.

When you say "best", you're talking more money lol

hey, welcome to the forum.

if you want to respond to multiple messages, hit the muli-quote button at the bottom right of each post. just click all the ones you wanna respond to, each hot key will turn from green to red, then hit new reply. voila!

oh, and search around the forum and read read read. you're bound to come up with ideas faster than we will for your car. good luck.

In that case, if you end up wanting performance, a good set of tires and RSB will transform how the TL handles.

Your mod list sounds like my car! lol...
rear type s replaces the aspec unless you meant type s bumper AND the aspec FOR the type S.
The short shifter, now that I've done it, is a must. It's really great.
Loving the blacked out theme...my car looked like yours almost 2 years ago. Come a long way! Good luck and hope to see you around the forum!

There are multiple DIY out there for grills. People have painted, plasti dipped, and vinyl wrapped. Bumper is like yours with the aspec front lip attached. Lights can be done by you, or by JNC. Do a search for his name, he does good "custom" head and tail light work.
