more pics -- Ken's Redondo red

I washed and waxed the TL, so it's a good time for more pictures.....

I love the dash on this car.

Need to get my Passport 8500 and some tinting next....

I was going to get that same exterior color, till saw it dirty.
Being dirty and under street lights the car looked between purple and pink. I immediately changed my mind about color choice then.

one more water pic.....



Thanks for the compliments guys. Much appreciated.

Jeff, my interior is camel. The door shot shows the color truer.

Badazz, I usually always turn the ignition off. I think that was right after I shot the pic of the speedo. Good eye.

Beautiful

Hi Ken:

I just picked up my new TL w/ Navi - also Redondo Red w/ Camel. The car had chromed TL rims on it and I was able to work that into the deal. This is an absolutely beautiful combination IMO.

Thanks for posting the great photos - they definitely influenced my decision to get the same combo.

Happy Labor Day weekend!!

Hey JLo,

I'm glad you found my pictures useful in buying your new TL!

I have a sister car on the Left coast. Send pictures. I want to see those chromed wheels!

You had to outdo me and get the Navi! Very good, enjoy it!

Ken - Nice Pics .. IMHO best color combo out there (sorry to the anthracite army - I know I'm outnumbered)

Had the dealer locate 5AT w/ Nav in RRP and camel .. he asked what my next color choice was, I said "RRP w/ Camel w/out the nav"

Ok, I need to know....

Ok, Ken... I'll ask the question on a few people's mind.

What is the detailing process and products you used? I gotta know....

Nothing terrific. My TL is brand new --one month old today.
And I use Meguiar's 3 step -- cleaner, polish, and wax. But I skipped the cleaner since I didn't think my car needed it.

I take most of my photos not in direct sunlight. The camera has a tough time handling the harsh reflection. I think that helps the pics a lot.

But the best tip is to use the "sharpen" filter (last step) after you have resized and tweaked your pics. It gives them the resolution and the detail to make them really pop! Don't tell anyone!

Just picked up our new TL 5AT, it's Redondo Red w/Camel, of course. When the dealer asked us for our second color choice, I said, RRP/Camel was our first three. It took him a few days to track it down, but success!

I don't see too many RRP's in general. It's too bad it's not offered with ebony interior anymore.

No, nor do they sell Desert Mist Metalic in Canada. But a new color, Carbon Bronze Pearl, is offered only in Canada (brown).
I'd swap that for RRP anyday.
