Well my time has finally come....+ quick ?

Hey everyone,

If you remember my post a month ago I said I was interested in buying a tl sh-awd, well yesterday I put a deposit on a 2011 tl sh-awd w/tech, full body kit, cbp/umber. My plans immediately are to paint match the rear trim and do the rj grille with A emblem, followed by some 19" black rims and the roof spoiler if I can still find it, just wanna say thanks for all the help before and the photo galleries that really gave me a good idea of the look that I want to go for on my tl.

Also I have one other question, as you know the car Im trading (A6 4.2) has a feature that the tl doesn't have that will be hard to live without, the auto dimming side view mirrors, My question is how hard would it be to have that done to the TL?

Thanks,
Will be posting pics as soon as I get the car next week followed by pics along the way as I go for my "stealth" look

if you tint your windows, you shouldnt have to worry about auto dimming side view mirrors...my back window is dark enough that i turn off my auto dimming rearview mirror...

Congrats!!

The TL's side view mirrors come tinted from the factory so if you tint the windows too you should be fine

no it doesn't ... if you have them, then its not factory, they are just tinted blue

to the OP, like everyone said if you tint your windows the glare is no longer an issue

I bought the roof spoiler on Ebay, here's the link, IMO it looks great, shipping was fast and install was easy! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
