Still to come:
Install: Overlay roof & Procats
Decide on audio
track rims
maybe a 25 shot w/ gauges *basically more toys.

Way to rep the ASM bro! I love the Legends on it.....I think lighter color rims on ssm/asm look the best. Can't wait for more pics.

Looks great! How do you like the supercharger? Does it pull significantly harder in 3rd gear? Make a vid!

You would not believe how often I change it. wife + kid = 14 me alone 2 all the way around.

I am suprised how different the car feels and the three presets makes it even easier.

Thanks for the comments! I got more pics tonight that I will have up tomorrow

I figured out my bad halo. It is not grounded very well so I have to pull the bumper back off.

Bent, the car is a whole new ride with what you have done. Great job and you have very nice taste. I would deff. lower it more in the front. From the pictures, it looks higher in the front than the rear. Is that true? Any plans to change the rear lights and side markers?

Sad day. I am trading my baby in for a Jaguar XF SC. I loved the TL and disappointed that the new is so disappointing and expensive.

I really love this car, still might not happen but I have the XF bug plus I am at a point I need a "big boy" car. I am literally almost crying over this. I mean I brought my first child home in this car!

What do I do!

If you got the XF, there's no doubt that you'd miss the TL but the XF isn't even in the same realm.

Get the XF.

well it did not happen today. I was willing to go with the cremson/tan color combo for a certain price but they could not let it go. We argued over $1K which is silly to me but it was more of a sticking point for me because I want the blue/light, black/orange or pewter/white color combo.

They dropped the price online from 42 to 41 and could not do 40. I will just wait till the color combo that I want becomes available. There are not a ton of XF-SC out there. I really really want an XFR and can afford it but man when you have two kids/house, etc. I can find 60K to spend elsewhere.

To be continued...
