Talking The Adventures of Ag Surfer

Here are some pics of my 2010 SH-AWD 6MT. Today was sunny and warm so I took her out for a drive. I was too busy driving so I only snapped a few pics. Mods so far include H&R springs and tint. Enjoy!

car looks fantastic as is.... OEM skirt kit would set it off

I think the Midnight chrome grille would look pretty sweet on your color

Awsome pics and awsome car! I get so envious when I see people able to take their TL on a warm sunny day in February! My TL is hibernating in the garage until the snow melts and can take it out again.

I hate &#&)@&^@ Canadian winters!

Sweet looking ride. I like the drop and the wheels. I can't wait to get a 4G.

I like it...I've got the H&R Springs too and it makes a world of difference in the look of the TL.

Get us some close-up shots of the wheel well and tire!

It has the factory aero kit. Is the skirt kit different? Any pics of the midnight chrome grill or a link to a seller?

Not just looks, but handling! A car that doesnt lean while cornering give me much more confidence. I'll try to get some close ups for ya!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Looks great! I didn't realize your rims were chrome when I saw the pics in the other thread.

Thats a good point- springs to help with handling and cornering, no car lean.......

Yeah, they're chrome. They look great but I think I want to go a different direction.

looks good so far. Did you install the springs yourself or did you go to a shop?

I also had Marcus from HeelToe install his Stage 2 brake kit due to killer brake fade I experienced at my last track day 2 weeks ago. The RacingBrake rotors, pads, stainless steel lines, and fluid made yesterday's trackday much more enjoyable with no fade issues at all. It's not as pretty as a BBK but it gets the job done!

Also, a short word on the car's handling. This car has really great handling for a car of its size. I urge any owner that is curious at all to try to attend a trackday or an autocross to test the handling limits. You'll find that the car is very capable and the SH-AWD is truly amazing and makes the car feel much smaller. The earlier you get on the gas, the better it handles. If you're overly aggressive, you can even get nice powerslides (but not lurid drifts) coming out of corners. This car continues to impress me!

OMG, congrats! It's funny you posted this pic because I also ordered Forgeline F14s and it should be done anytime now. It's currently on the 6th week of production. 2 4G TLs with Forgestars near South Coast Plaza, what are chances of that!

Perfect drop and the new rims really adds a more aggressive look to the car.

Beautiful. I actually like the OEM wheels better.

Have you considered painting the Bird-Beek black ?

Some new pics after Plastidipping emblems, front and rear shields, rear reflectors, and a light coat on my rear taillights. This stuff is pretty cool!
