Freshly Detailed ABP TL

This week I finally got around to polishing my TL. I used all Meguiars polishes, sealant, and wax, along with Optimum Opti-Bond tire gel, and Bar Keepers Friend. I have also added a small list of mod since I have posted anything about my car. Tell me what you guys think, these are cell phone pics that just dont do the car justice. Heres the list of mods.
  • Injen Intake-Removed
  • P2r TBS-Removed
  • RV6 Strut Tower Brace-Removed
  • Interior LEDs-Removed
  • License Plate and Reverse LEDs
  • Debadged
  • Dewinged
  • Coolant Mod
  • D/S Brakes

Looks fantastic! Why the move to different coils? I think that should be a priority.


Also, why did you remove these? They all sounds like great mods to me.

^I took that stuff off because I am more worried about how the car looks and sounds, those mods just weren't worth it IMHO. The interior LEDs were great but the stock incandecent lights match my peanut butter interior much better.

Great work! How long would you say it took you for all that? When I do mine, it usually takes 5-6 hours. I take my time though.

It took me a few days only because I didn't have that much time to work on it. Plus I needed to let the sealent cure before I put the wax on. I would say all together though around 12 hours.

I'd go with the Nikon D3200 instead. Similar, entry-level DSLR, but with a 24mp sensor and records 1080p HD video! Check it out.

Clean car, OP. Looks like you did a very nice job.

I'm not sure-we'll have to wait until it comes out to see a price.

I've always had Canons, so I've got lenses that will only fit them. I'm going to wait it out.
