my o6 converted to o8

Not bad... But I would have chosen the UA7 base tails to finish her off. Simplicity at its finest.

The front looks good. Now all you need is the 07-08 rear bumper to complete the look.

Good point! That would definitely help complete the look. Perhaps the OP has that planned on down the road.

You'd need a new TL badge also. The 07-08's is more slanted like TL. Huge tip off for me.

Damn that looks great! If you don't mind me asking, approximately how much did the swap cost you?

I can't stand the look of the 07-08, which is why I got an 06.

thinking of getting the rear bumper replaced... any suggestions as to other mods. not a big fan of A-SPEC kit... it makes the car look to sporty with those ground effects and some mentioned that the color mismatch on the WDP is just terrible ... some say it is a pain to put it on since it does not fit well...

It's funny how easy it is to turn an 06 into an 08. Good job.
