Even stock looking the TL is a great looking car!

I'm sure the 2 days of cleaning was not all fun, but I always like the days following a good cleaning. Nothing like a car that is just shinning to no end!

Very nice! I'm in need of some fresh clay and wax on my SSM. First, though, I have to get my front bumper fixed where some $%^& backed into it as the gas station.

Thanks!

Some people like fishing, I like washing my TL. I find it therapeutic.

Looking good.

I like the Aspec drop, its subtle yet performs well. Any plans for future mods?

I too find cleaning my TL a hobbie, but thats just me.

Haha, I love doing that, especially when the car still has a decent coat of wax.

Looks nice, even after the rain. Perhaps you'll check the forecast next time, eh?
