"New" Guy to the forums!
I've been lurking on these forums ever since I bought my NBP 2008 TL Type-S nearly 3 years ago. Finally decided to register!
I bought my TL certified pre-owned with about 65,000 miles on it. It was stock with tinted windows all-around (except windshield). I'm not sure what the tint % is, but my brother and I tried measuring it and got 28% +/- 3%. You guys could probably tell better than I could just by looking at the pictures.
I've already put about 75,000 more miles on the TL over the years, totaling 140,000 miles overall. No mechanical issues at all 0! The car also drives a lot better in winter/snow that I expected, especially with the harsh winters the Chicagoland area has had the last few years. Then again, my wife's car is a Mustang, so everything seems better in winter!
As it seems customary, here are some pictures of my car:

Check out some of the older postings in the Wash & Wax Section-you'll get some good ideas. See if you can find a used Porter Cable too.
