Question Please Help a New TL Owner

Hello Everyone,

I just purchased a 2006 TL, Nighthawk Black Pearl, Ebony Interior, w/Nav. I traded in a 04 G35 Coupe for it, many reasons why but that is for another time.

Anyway, I wanted to dress the car up a bit to give it a more sporty look, but do not want the car to look bad.

Therefore I ordered the following items from the dealer yesterday: Deck Lid Spoiler, Front Under Body Spoiler, Side Under Body Spoiler, and Rear Under Body Spoiler.

Is this essentially the A-Spec Package that I see discussed on the site minus the suspension and wheel mods?

Also, how do you think the TL will look with these items installed? I could not seem to find a picture of a TL in the same color, with same items installed on the site. I thought of going with the Wing Spoiler instead, but I feel like that it breaks up the lines on the car.

I appreciate and look forward to everyones' responses/opinions.

The TL looks great with all of those options but you might want to consider some 18' wheels
i agree that the wing spoiler would be too much try the deck lid spoiler instead

I agree about teh wing spoiler. I like the rear deck lid better, just has a better look to it if you ask me. But yes you are correct about the kit. You're just getting the body kit...

I have this exact configuration except with quartz interior and have gotten some nice comments about the look and profile. Wanting to be more professional in the business realm, I didnt want to mod the car too much with aftermarket parts, but I definately wanted to stand out from the basic TLs on the road.

Im having the clear bra put on today so I'll try to post some pics for you sometime tomorrow.

It is not the Aspec package, you added the body under spoilers.
You're missing the suspension, rims, brakes, and steering wheel.

Thank you for the responses thus far, I greatly appreciate it, and Juku if you have pics even without the clear bra, I would like to see them because we have the same intentions as far as the look of the vehicle.

Do a search! There are plenty of pics of black 3G Tls with the ASPEC body kit.

Welcome! You are going to get asked transmission type on your car - manual or auto?
Check the "Photograph Gallery" sub-thread in this forum for photos.
