Complete and utter Noob
I picked up my 08' TL-base (CPO w/ 15K) back in February. I more than likely paid way too much, but everytime I get in the drivers seat I forget about the hefty monthly payment. I have no idea what mods or upgrades I plan on doing, frankly I'm in love with the car as-is. I've gone through many previous cars (mainly Buick Regals... yes a 24 year old who USED to be obsessed with Buicks). With that said, I wanted to post some pictures. Any ideas to improve my TL's asthetics would be greatly appreciated.
And last but not least, the Buick I traded in "Reggie".

Welcome-nice pickup! Hopefully you'll feel like it's an upgrade from Buick.
Yea, try to take off the "Princeton" dealer badging-no need to advertise them, unless they're paying you to do so. You also might consider getting rid of the pinstripping.

welcome.
princeton emblem unless you dont live somewhere around there you really dont need it. Maybe tiniting windows to avoid your car turning into a moving oven and maybe later some new rims to give a more personal look. If you like the pin stripe and you want to keep it i would even consider in increasing it into a more sporty design with flames or more pin stripes going from smaller to big coming from the back to the front of the car. if not then just remove it. It is your choice.
Good luck. Nice house by the way.

Thanks guys! I definitely plan on having it tinted. As of right now I like the pinstripe, but my opinion might change after the tint. I'm obsessed with the look of the A-spec addition, but I think my driveway from hell would rip it off after the first trip down it.

Congrats and welcome. Try not to let A-Zine make you broke with all the mods you'll want to do now.
