Newbie w/'08 TL-S

Hey guys new member here on AZ. I recently picked up a 08' WDP TL-S about a two weeks ago. I always loved the body lines of this car. So I decided to pick one up. I have a bad habit and say I will not mod my cars and soon later I make it to my taste. I came from a number of cars from Turbo cars to SUVs and my last car was a Lexus GS430.
I dont have many pics yet, due to the snowy weather in UT.
Things I have done so far not in the pics yet, are Re-did Window tint. Previous owner had silver looking tint 3K HID fog lights/ Full LED Interior/ 3K DRL/ Ebay roof spoiler lip.


Also cleaned my Exhaust.

Your exhaust tips are supposed to be black on the inside.

Hahah I was gonna say the same thing. You cleaned them so well that you stripped the black paint right off lol. Looks decent that way to, but I still like the tips polished up but still black inside. Kind if matches the black exhaust tip surround and the other dark accents that the type s has. Again, just personal opinion.

Congrats on the purchase it looks awesome.

Welcom utah,I'm also an 08 wdp Tl-s newb. This is a great site. Almost every question has an answer in the search bar or there's someone to very quickly tell you there is, it's great. Lots of ideas, help, tech pics etc. Great looking car and the pic of your car makes me dislike my chrome s wheels even more.
