New TL owner.

So my wife and I become owners of a 2006 TL. It is black with light gray leather and navigation. Her previous car was a 2004 corolla that was rear ended last month and declared a total loss from insurance which led us to the TL. Only mods I plan on doing are the isimple car kit to connect her iphone , smoked type-s tail lights and rear side markers, A-spec body kit , Tint , and eventually wheels.

Haha. Thanks. But this is her daily driver so I don't think ill be doing much to it besides appearance mods. I have a 2004 Mach 1 that's our/my weekend car that will get more mods and my 1987 mustang that's my Lil race car I need to finish which is my money pit.

Sorry if the pictures are big, trying to do this on my phone.

Leaving the dealership with the kids in the car





Last picture we had of the corolla, we had 205k miles on it (were the original owners)


Our/my weekend car


Not really a recent picture of the car, this was about 4 years ago. It's hiding under a car cover, haven't had the time to work on it.

I've owned the blue mustang since 2004, the red mustang since 20011( I've only put 10k miles on it in 2 years, so it doesn't get driven much usually around town)

Yes that's how it always starts...
I really just want to do visual mods, I really don't see myself doing any suspension mods. Only performance mod I would like to do someday would be the comp-tech supercharger kit.

Welcome, officially you have a NBP ( Nighthawk Black Pearl) with Quartz interior.

I love the fox body mustangs. Looks like you've got lots of work to on her.

Is that a shaker hood on the 04?

Thanks. Could figure out the name for the interior color.

Yes I have lots of work to do on the coupe. Hoping to do the cage/chassis work soon.
Yes,The red mustang is a mach 1 which has a "functional" shaker hood scoop, comes that way from the factory.

It's pretty much stock with just a catback.
Need to find time to lower it and replace the rear brake lines to fit my 15x10 rims/slicks. It's going to get a nitrous kit soon as well.

If you were close I would say would could line them up for fun.

If you want visual (aesthetic) mods, check out "My Garage" by clicking on the name of my car in my signature. The majority of my mods are aesthetic.

I was wondering if anyone has bought one from that seller, so I can find if its quality is worth buying.

Kyonick and another seller, bmwoemshop, are two of the heavy hitters on eBay when it comes to trunk and roof spoilers for the TL.

I have a roof spoiler from bmwoemshop and it is top notch quality so far (three weeks.)

I think you will be happy with a spoiler from either seller. I just have 1st hand experience with bmwoemshop, so I can speak directly to their quality. It looks like their spoiler is a little thicker than Kyonick's.

That sucks. We had a compromise. 1 sports car (the blue mustang doesnt count) and 1 sedan just need a crew cab truck now.
