Been busy with work but time for an update.
Bought the car with a cracked dash and the dash cover finally got to me so I replaced it for $375. Got to drive a 4g tl shawd for a few days also
Next I switched the transmission fluid to the gm synchromesh and installed hybrid racing shifter bushings from Heeltoe. Made a big difference in the way the transmission feels.
Replaced the brakes with brakemotive pads and rotors I had no problems with them on my 2g tl for 70000miles
Ordered a roof spoiler from bmwoemshop. Nice quality for 90$
Got a set of inspire fogs of eBay for $54 shipped. I was surprised at how bright they actually are.
Some more photos of the atlp base exhaust
Photos of our last Jax meet

Bought the ubi 4" intake tube with a k&n filter. Also did the throttle body coolant bypass at the same time. Install wasn't to difficult.

It was easy with the front bumper off then I popped off the grills. I trimmed a little then went back and kept doing a little more till I got it right. I also used some of the other threads to see where to trim the bumper.
Thanks these are the leds I used, I had them left over from when I did my older tl. http://bit.ly/IViRZe

Swoosh and I just put LED's in the Stingray. I'm guessing they look fantastic. I haven't driven it at night lately.......

The white leds look so much better than the yellow bulbs. I try to switch all the bulbs I can to led or at least white. Next up is the inspire fogs, I'll probably get the leds frosty got.

Installed new led bulbs in the inspire fogs. They were much brighter than I expected, only the fog lights are on in the pictures.

Got my front seats and center console done today. I'm going to take it back in a month or two to get the rear seat done. I'll try and get some more pictures tomorrow.

Wow your old seats look like they got slashed, nice new seat cushions! The two-tone color looks awesome! When I bought my TL, the dealership just replaced both front seat cushions too because they said it's common that they get ripped up.

When I got the car it had a couple of cracks that eventually ripped through to how it was. I was a little disappointed because I have only put about 3000 miles on it.
