Some Pics of My Whip....
Hello Kids.
I picked up a 2008 TL about 4 months ago. It was purchased CPO with 72K miles on it....YES I said 72K. I have since then put on about 13K in under 4 months. This car is not made to spend time parked in a spot in a garage. I drive a lot.
I have had some issues with it. Mainly with the wheels and tires. I finally got a great balance job and it drives straight and essentially vibration free.
There are some cosmetic things I need to do. There are a couple dings that I need to get removed and this morning I had a stone chip my windshield. That gets replaced Friday.
Well enough babble....here are some pics....

Looks great Ravi! Those pictures are gorgeous. What kind of camera were you using?
Also, did you ever get your windows tinted? Or are they already tinted? It's hard to tell in those pictures.

I like the rocky hill as well. It is at a customer's location. This is the rest of the driveway there.

Yeh....went with 35%. I am not one for being hassled anymore. I guess I got old. I really like the look of it. There was a guy there with a Camry that went with 5% and I looked at it with memories of my CL. That lasted about 30 seconds.

I don't think I would ever do anything darker than 15%. I wish mine was 15% but I'm glad I don't have to deal with failing inspections and such.

Nice lookin car man...I've had a vibration ever since I bought my TL. Its driving me crazy...I brought it back to the dealer 2 times already and they said the wheels were "bent"...so they "fixed" them....yet it still vibrates. I know for a fact that its not the wheels...because I just bought new wheels, and it still vibrates. I'm pretty sure its a wheel bearing.
