What Would You??

So what would you guys like to see as a special??

Anything from the masses of 04-08 TL owners need? Anybody seeing the same thing go out on the TL's more and more commonly? Give us some feedback, and let us know. Maybe we can put something together for you guys.

-Jeff

Fully agreed on the common interior wear items, especially the two metal strips that run on either side of the console. Everyone needs those. I bought them back when they were around $40 each and I believe they're quadruple that price now. Not the door sills but the plastic pieces that you commonly scrape your foot on when you enter the car.

Not that it's possible but the factory seat covers. I would love to redo the seats.

If it helps to be more specific, I'll post the actual part numbers of what I'm talking about.

I just bought new carpet and driver's side inner fender since they're still priced well and I'm sure they will be going up as more and more people need them. There are many other interior items I would buy if the prices were a little cheaper. I like to keep the car looking brand new especially inside.

This would be awesome if we could get a larger discount. I would become a repeat customer even on the non discounted stuff.

I thought I would clarify this post, it seems to have been written by a 5yr old after re-reading it. The metal strips would be good and ALSO the plastic trim between the sill and seats where you might drag your foot.

By seat covers I mean exactly what's on the car now since they seem to be removable (maybe I'm wrong).

To add to that, steering wheels are wearing out. I replaced mine with a new one a year ago but I got very lucky and found a NIB one on here in the BM for $90. Otherwise I might have taken an alternative route for that price.

As mentioned, the pressure switches that need replacing every couple years would be really nice.

Being purely selfish as I doubt many people would need this but trunk carpet. Just had to buy this for full price and it sucks. I had an ooops moment without even getting it installed and kinda need another carpet kit but not going to do it twice unless the price is lower.

Also, dashboards since they're starting to crack and I'll never trust someone else to do the installing. Factory radios and amps... Not that important since you can find them brand new for just over $300 but the $1,000 price is kind of high and they're going out all the time.

x1000 on the seat covers! Not going to pay $1000+ per seat but would definitely order new covers if they were significantly cheaper.

The metal pieces that run along the console also. Should have ordered some when they were cheaper but now they are something like $160 each.

After doing new carpet last weekend, I REALLY want the seat covers now. Before they looked acceptable. Now they bring down the whole interior of the car.

Agreed on seat covers. Would make switching from taupe to black easier also.

And everything else ^^^ they said.

OEM NGK's (IZFR6K-11) can be found on Amazon for cheap, with prime free 2 day shipping.
Plenty of cabin filters on amazon as well. OEM is good, but its nothing special for the cabin filter.

Blue glass portion of driver and passenger mirrors for those of us who have "burnt" them with the heating element!

I know this is a common issue.
