Howdy, all. In about one week I will be receiving my very own CPO TL...She's an NBP 6MT w/Nav, camel interior. I finally pulled the trigger and cannot wait!

I'm looking forward to modding her, but just wanted to share some pics of what I've done...btw...this was ALL DIY...I don't work at a body shop or facsimile, and did all this with A LOT of trial and error...

Woww, I remember you from Maxima.org. I had a 4th gen, but was following your thread on all your mods. Welcome to the TL world!

I don't know what some of this stuff is, but it looks impressive nonetheless. Haha. Welcome, and hope you enjoy your new ride. I'm sure you will.

Naturally. Nothing as crazy as what I did with the Max, but mods a plenty, for certain. I am likely going to start out with blacking out the headlights and adding CCFLs...followed by cracking the tails open and working on them as well. I need to get the Max full up to snuff so I can sell her and utilize the money for some mods.

IP? Sick was the climate control...I shaved the acrylic backing of EACH button and installed a superflux LED.

Damn. Off too a good start! Everytime I get my car to what I want it to be, I see something else on this site that I want. It never ends. Good luck with everything man. Be sure to post up pics when you get the car and start getting stuff done with it
