Blueberryyumyum's 12' CBP SH-AWD-Tech Progression Thread

Hi guys.. I've had my TL for about 3 weeks now and the modding as already begun.. I upgraded from a 06' Evolution MR and 07' 335i. The TL is both my first brand new car I've purchased and also my first automatic transmission car as well. It's a 12' CBP SH-AWD Tech Package with the black interior. Well enough talking here are the pics. Positive/Negative Criticism are welcome

Current Mods:
-SolarGuard 35%/20% Tint
-Lamix Yellow Fog Film
-DDM 3000K Slim Ballast HID's
-TEIN SS Coilovers (NOT INSTALLED-BACK ORDERED)

Future Mods:
-Camber Kit (Can't Decide on which kit)
-Wheels ( 20" Work VS-XX's Burning Black/Matte Black Lip)
-OEM Lip Kit
-Painting All the Aluminum Pieces on the car

Out with the Old in with the New

Received my roofspoiler definitely a lot quicker than I thought it would take considering it gets painted to order and shipped.

This is mess up man, are you keeping the TL? I'm sure you will recover your money back since all your parts are brand new. Good luck on your new journey.

Moved into the TL in hopes to start a family sometime soon.. I'm only in my mid 20's so being single and getting that GTR I originally wanted seems like a really good idea right about now

I love the new 6 series coupes after they rolled out with the AWD model. I personally can not justify spending $100K on a car that I cant drive all year round let alone spending that much money on a car.
