I often miss my old '04 6MT NBP TL, but I love my current TL-S. If I ever repainted, I'd either pick NBP or MRP, since I LOVE these colors. Your car is definitely at the top of my list of the most tastefully tailored. Keep up the progress!

UPDATE ~
Making more progress but yet stuck, again. Today when I had a chance in between all else that requires my attention and needs as soon as I walk through the door, I found some time and a short break to run outside and escape...lol!
I removed the seat and removed the "REMAINING" of my FAILED! IDQ12. I then screwed in and secured the New IDMAX D4 v3 and took a quick pic of where the JL AUDIO HD900/5 is laying. Its currently located where the NAVI box would be, for now.
This was all I was able to get done since the sun dropped on me pretty fast and the mosquitoes were freakishly fierce! (Sorry to the rest of you who have to deal with cold weather and snow during the winter...we deal with Mosquitoes...lol!) Tomorrow I will try to wire in the sub and mess around with some tunes
Where I last left you guys:
Seat removed and Sub removed...or what was left...lol!
RELEASE THE BEAST!
Mounted the IDMAX12 D4 v3:
JL AUDIO HD900/5 laying in the temp location: (Once the cargo mat is in, it looks pretty good tucked in the corner.)

Yeah...the side qtr panel wall of the trunk. But as of now, I just pick it up and make my adjustment and place it down. It hold still through it all and with the cargo mat, it's like it was made to be there since the passenger side of the mat is cut with a open notch for the navi equipment. The only thing that actually gets covers is maybe a inch or so of the amp and all the wires.

Yeah, this thing is prolly one of the smallest ballzy amps I have ever seen! As for screwing down, No. Not as of yet. The cargo mat and rubber bottom tabs on amp hold it in place. Don't wanna make any permanent installs as of yet. This is all temp for the main goal, which is moving everything inside and under the seats making it completely STEALTH, custom and a very clean install. And far as sound goes, it was a night and day 100+% improvement in sound when I disconnected those xovers and went "ACTIVE". I just have to be very careful in blowing the tweets. Tuning and development are still on their way, so I only listen to it on low levels under 20 until the sub is connected and I can start to get everything playing nice with one another.

...XXR's come with a price alright...a fkn cheap price! Should leave you a couple of bucks for camber kit and rolled fender.
PS...amp under seat would be the ultimate in space savings and not having added much weight. One day I'd love to hear what an all in one amp can do (5 channel)

True Story...lol!Yeah, that is my ultimate goal and final touches to my system once everything is squared away. Its almost there. It now sounds amazing and what a HUGE difference overall the amp, sub and going ACTIVE made. It makes me smile
In this thread, everything is discussed in more detail ~

Thanks for the heads up, I'm in Afghanistan at the moment but when I get back ill probably upgrade to some coilovers eventually. I have race springs right now which give me about a 2 inch drop. If I get the same size wheels/tires you have I think it will look ok but not perfect like yours. I just don't want it to rub. Do you think with race springs it will fit no issues? Or will I need to look into fender rolling?

...well on to my newest info or update~
I am truly on the verge of purchasing new OEM carpet sidewalls panels since mine have been altered for my AUDIO set up and pulling EVERYTHING out and selling it ALL! I can't continue doing this and dealing with a company who wants to give me the run around and blame everything 1st before taking responsibility for their products... All I can do is stop fighting and give up.

We came up here to see her sister, mother and bro n law in Winston Salem NC for Thanksgiving. I am even signing on my Samsung GSIII so it's less conspicuous.
...That always sucks! "The Aftermath"

Josh, I've been meaning to ask you where you got your exhaust tips and Stage III exhaust done at. As of now I plan on going SIII over Christmas break.
Just looking for a reputable shop that isn't shady like 99% of dealers/shops out in "some" parts of Tampa's auto district

I know exactly what u mean buddy... the tips were from a vendor slash member here in AZ and the work was done at none other better then MAD HATTER on Waters Ave before Nebraska on the left whr re that red Roush Mustang is. I guess that is their sponsored exhaust car. It's always parked right out front near the road so u will never miss it. The Puerto Rican dude or the Old Man is the only 2 guys have ever fucked with my exhaust for over 10yrs of all my performance cars. So when it came to the custom work on the TL... it wasn't hard to pick a well repped shop.
I will get u a name free the tips. I know I have mentioned it in a shout out in my build thread.

I'll def give them a call to map out the costs. I'm in love with the tips, but they just wouldn't look the same without an A-Spec lip. SoCal Auto is a great guy though!

IDK, I will have to check. What's up with rollin yours? LMK
I feel ya... But I am DEAD serious. I am at the end of my rope with the TL...Finito! There is NOTHING else I like for the TL. 
Maybe small changes on what is already existing and maintenance here and there. That is it!
Usually when I feel this way...something NEW is usually in the horizon...Just no time soon unfortunately due to my current $$$ circumstances I am stuck with the TL for a lil minute longer.
