Nice!
I think this is a smart move with your car because it will decrease the chance that people will pull out in front of you because they're going to see your TL for sure. The color of your TL blends in with most surroundings especially when you're driving through an area with lots of trees. The orange will certainly help other people be more aware of your presence.

Does this sound like a good deal to everyone.. im going to this place called Mireks European Auto down here to get my tires mounted/balanced, car aligned, suspension set to where ever i want it, and fenders rolled (repainted anywhere if the paint cracks) for $600. Im sure if I went to a couple places to get it done I would save $100-150, but this seems too easy to pass up and the place has great reviews.
-i got my tires mounted/balanced/TPMS for $40
-lifetime firestone alignment for $150
-suspension set to where ever i want it for free (you can do this yourself or with a buddy)
-front and rear fenders rolled/pulled for $110
$300 VS $600...your call man. if you have money like that, then go for it. seems like an easy one stop shop that probably does great work. but i think you can do better if you put some feelers out there and shop around.

Where did you get your fenders rolled/pulled ? $110 seems like a good deal to me....

swoosh...drove down to NC to meet up with tyler (CLtotheTL32) when i got my CF hood from his buddy. another friend of his charged me $50 to do the rears. then i got new wheels, and had to roll/pull the fronts and a local guy in the area (found on azine) drove to me and charged $60 for the fronts.

well the car is currently being worked on at Mirek's. I know $600 is not the best deal, but this shop knows their shit (based on the amount of crazy porsches there and the great reviews online) i feel like the car is in good hands and you cant say that about many places down here. Ill be picking up the car later today and will post pics after! thanks for all the responses guys 
AZ in my mind is one of the better car forums out there.

edit: i've had wheels coated for $225 cash picked up 3 days later....not saying you over paid...but you paid more than me

^^^ thats not a bad price Sean....but yeah i went to 3-4 places and go quote from 200-500....i went with the shop that does it right
not saying ur guy didnt do it right, just saying since you dont know how does a good job, paying a little extra to get it done right makes sense to me....
