The car looks good but the ricer stickers will just get you pulled over.
The TL is mostly driven by familys so stickers stand out and attract more attention that other modded cars. Also everytime you are pulled over regardless of whether you get a ticket or not is tracked, so the police can see when the last time you were pulled over. Just something to think about.

yeah man tell me about it, I spend about 3 hours each session twice a year. washing, claying, sealing and waxing my ride. it takes a lot of dedication but i think its worth the sweat and time though when your done you can really tell the difference

The black roof and grille looks good but I would've painted the silver trims on the grille AM. You painted the grey on the front lip black too?

Nice car! Love the stance and the wheels. I waxed the TL over the weekend and it looks nowhere as nice as yours.

Side note, you waxed the brand new paint?

Your car is almost exactly like mine now. If you would have painted your grill we would be twins. I have anthracite with black roof and black Aspec lip as well, but my grill is paintmatched. So yeah it looks great, of course it does because it looks just like mine lol
