New 2006 TL owner :)

So the wife and I were in the market for something different and decided on the TL Found this TL in ABQ, New Mexico! According to the manager who was a great guy this is a very rare combo. Said he is pretty sure there are only three like it in the US. Not sure if that's true or not. It's Diamond Pearl White with Ebony leather and a 6 speed manual tranny It has some issues visual wise but we plan to work it all out eventually. Spent hours on the head lights with a Mothers power ball kit and even some 3M plastic polish (worked way better then the mothers product). Pass side head light needed wet sanded even. They look great during the day but still crappy at night with the lights on.

And it looks like these lights are pricey and sadly I can't find any smoked onesDoes anyone know the bulb size for the fog lights so we can replace the horrible looking stock bulbs with silver stars or something? Also think we may eventually track down some type S wheels. The stock ones have a rough ass texture and the new brakes the dealer installed dust very bad .Anyway here are some pics from my iPhone

Awesome ride!

I found that WDPs with ebony interior are "less rare" in Canada than USA.

When I was looking for a TL, every WDP I checked out had ebony interior.

The manual transmission, is rare indeed!

Welcome to Acurazine!! You have the exact same car as I do. It is a rare find but there are definitely more than 3 in the U.S

Nice man an welcome to Azine.

1. Fogs - 9006 - could use Silverstar or get a HID kit (though kit would cause glare and might damage your reflectors)

2. Brakes - put on CMAX Gold from Autozone - same stopping power but dustless

I have a AT so a few other things don't apply to you. Have fun and enjoy the ride :-)

Thanks guys she is an amazing car! Thanks to this forum I already fixed my sub woofer rattles! We really enjoy driving the car and I have always wanted one exactly like this! We traded a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and even though we miss the 40+ mpg it's worth it! Still trying to adjust to drive by wire and hydraulic clutch lol. Our other car is a supercharged and cammed 2001 Mustang GT. It's got a cable clutch so its a huger difference!
