yes i did! i absolutely love it. the only issue i noticed is the rear calipers are sticking. is this common? i already took them off and greased the sliders with 3m brake lube. i compressed both pistons and they moved somewhat freely. however as soon as i pressed the brakes, i could turn the rear wheels but forcefully. luckily calipers are covered under the warranty still so ill just get two new ones.

anyways here are a couple quick pics!



30 seconds after i got home, first modification



also some numnut used the ballseat lug nuts on the acorn style motegi wheels, so hopefully they are not trashed. they will be the winter wheels anyways

ill post more pics when its not raining out!

I love the TL in black. But I don't like the heat that comes with it. I'm sweating just looking at your pics. Might want to invest in one of those windshield sun shades. I hate them, but they help

Exact opposite! This is my first car with air conditioning so it's fantastic. I didn't want another black car but this one suited my needs perfectly and the price was right on

Just replaced the rear rotors, calipers, and pads today. I was surprised both pistons were seized with 80k miles. Everything else on the car is spotless. Odd
