Finally after 5 weeks, I picked up my 2012 TL SH-AWD Elite (Graphite Luster Metallic). It will take another six weeks or more for aero kit to arrive. Unfortunately it is dark and raining outside for a nice pic. My first pick …

PS

I will post more pics when the aero kit arrives.

I assume you are asking about the front bumpers? Those be headlight washers on the Canadian TL.

Man, I really wish they kept the quad exhaust tips for 2012+ SH-AWD models..... to me, it just gave it a little something "extra" to differentiate it from the FWD model.

Finally my aero kit was installed yesterday, unfortunately it is raining today. I have also installed a DVD player. It fits nicely between front seats.

Compared to everything you've already done, the pedals will be a walk in the park.

I noticed in another post that it seems that you are unable to get the pedals,seeing that you are from Toronto you could probably get a set from www.teamsls.ca ,this is where i purchased mine from and to give you an idea this is what they look like

This color is very nice. The front body kit is a real good look but the rear I'm not feeling as much.

Not a fan of the SS at all.... you just "ghetto'd" out a perfectly nice car! just my opinion but as the previous guy said, as long as you like it, that's all that matters!

i agree with losing the SS parts, was loving your car without them, i'm more of a SS/chrome delete type of guy. blacked out is the way to go.

Great color and aero kit. Not feeling those chrome window surrounds, looks much cleaner without it ... it's all about personal taste though.
