Nice progress
Have anymore pictures of the rear?
I'm interested in a roof spoiler but don't know how it will look without the window visors.

Thanks
Thanks, it's the only pictures I have right now. If it's not raining here tomorrow I'll try and get some more. It looks great without the window visors, I'm still trying to decide if I want window visors or not.

It's been raining here a lot lately but got the car washed, clayed, polished, and waxed. Got some pictures of the roof spoiler also.
Cleaned up my 2000 tl also

2nd Gen vs: 3rd Gen TL models
Yeah, gotta say that the 3rd Gen models.......especially in "S" trim with the factory 6 speed stick are indeed very enticing. But, personally the 2nd Gens have a timeless appearance especially when modded as yours is. It's a difficult thing to compare the car's different features, as they each are unique with their own stong points. Now I know why ya can't part with the old gal !!!

Got the brakes done today and cleaned the inside of the wheels while they were off. Didn't get any shots of the interior I'll get some Tuesday when I clean it up.

Advanced
Did you use just basic caliper paint? Any primer? and where did you order the stickers?
I need to repaint mine...I'm not sure I'd like the brembo or the Acura stickers. Does everything seem to be holding up ok?
Great work!

No primer for mine. Just used caliper paint, but it was sanded down well. I went with Brembo stickers from Ebay.
