2012 TL tech rebuild thread

I picked up this 2012 off of an auction for $3400. I’m in the process of repairing it to its original glory.

Almost have everything that was damaged removed

Trying to figure out why there’s no sound in my speakers



Before I started any work

The taillights have a tint on them



Giving a shine to the old fogged up headlight

I apologize for the pictures being out of order. I’m trying to post this on an iPad.

Put the bumper all together. Decided to color match the grill

Looks much better

New/used factory support

Getting there

Fender installed, working on the inner fender skirt

Hood installed.

Removing the window tint on front windows to comply with michigan state law


Giving it a quick wash



Still waiting on a passenger headlight so I can install the front bumper cover.
