congrats glad it all worked out!!

some suggestions:
- leather conditioner on all the seats: check out griot's garage or zaino
- headlight restore (get the 3M kit...$30)
- type s mudflaps if you want mudflaps...they come color matched instead of the black ones your car has
- arm pad restore (there's a DIY on here...costs about $10)

also, check out the 6MT "mods" they really improve the driving (GM fluid, check valve delete, etc)

enjoy!

I second this

The 6-speeds have a few mods that will make driving much more fun

One of the cleanest engine bays I have ever seen on a used car with that mileage.

Ahh man, every time i see one of these posts, its just brings me right back up to that cold winter day 3 years ago I too got my TL. Don't you just love the excitement, the night before is pretty much sleepless, so you already checkin ebay for shit to buy. First thing i bought was the trunk liner. Than 2 hours later, that rear painted lip. Then the sun comes up, knowing tonight you're gonna spend a full mufuckin tank of gas just driving around to all your bros and giving them a taste of those horses!

Enjoy the moment man! 3 years later, and i'm still loving driving it to work and back every day. This is my 4th car, Civic 92, Jetta 00, BMW 325 03 and now this. It's by far my favorite. It became way more than a car for me, it became my project. I would have never even thought about changing my engine mounts on my previous cars, or the oil pan, and i used to pay people to change my brakes, until my TL. Take good care of it and it'll take good care of you.
