Shaping up real nice! Looks like a new car pretty much. You should get a new ebony interior to go along with the new WDP paint.

Should have put the a-spec on after the install of the bumper, because you still have to tighten bumper (pull away a-spec) and the tape gets compromised.

+1 on the only matching TL. Why didn't you go for a custom gunmetal color or something?
