Always nice to hear from you,atm i am happy with the addition of the sub to the oem system,it adds a little more depth that i think was missing from the original sub.

I have a little mod that i am working on for the seats,nothing significant but one that will hopefully enhance an already beautiful interior.

I always admire cars that have their logo embossed on the seats and i think that it would look sweet on the Tl's.

I got to thinking how i could do this but did'nt want to mess with the seats.

Decided to make a removable leather band to fit over the headrest,the tough part was getting a leather to match the seats,it helps to have friends who work in a furniture company.

I love the looks of this,on to the pics

The good thing about this is that it is easily removable

Thank you,i also like how they came out and the double stitching is a big plus,several of my friends saw it this evening and the felt that it compliments the interior very well.

Now thats a unique mod KK! The headrests look great compared to the original - I do like the band, not sure about the logo. Nice work, thanks for the pics! So should I assume it's a permanant part of the headrest now?

Hey thanks,no the bands are easily removable,it has velcro stitched on,they overlap each other at the ends under the headrest.

Logo is stitched in,i like it with or without and i have another set without logo,so i can change them as i wish.

With regards to your question about the sub,well i does sound a lot better than stock.

Baby it indeed. The skirt package make so much difference to the looks of the car,add some rims to widen the stance and it all comes together.Nice birthday present,what's for Christmas?

Yes the roof spoiler is a nice addition,i purchased from ebay as most members here.The vendor is bmw oem shop,it came painted and the match is very good.
If you do order it use some of the silicone that come in the package for installation,mine is still firmly in place.

I always refer to my winter car as a tank,i am sure that the Tl is much better but it would hurt my heart to see snow on it,heck i don't even like driving it in the rain hahahaha!!!

Appreciate the comments,please do get the spoiler,it really does add looks to the rear of the TL,many members on here have it and they have held up well to the elements,quality product

Haha, I think that they are quite nice as well.

The car has been screaming for one more mod to be done before the summer is over,I have finally decided what it's going to be.

I have been thinking for some time now to do a mild drop on the car,after a lot of research and speaking to several members here some of whom has had both setup ie coilovers and H&R springs,i decided to go with the latter.
Many thanks to Azine members NJDEE and EAZY for taking the time and effort to reply to all my questions,what really convinced me though was getting an opportunity to ride in "RECALL" car equipped with the H&R,the ride was near stock comfortable but with improved handling and a perfect drop imo,exactly what i am looking for.
I had spoken to Josh at XLR8 and was all ready to order coilovers with a custom spring rate but changed my mind after the ride,installation will be done next weekend

Woo Hoo!! Cant wait to see your ride lowered on the springs. So you felt that the ride was better,
with a set of springs vs coilovers?

You can't go wrong on H&R springs, I had them on my RL unitl I changed them tein coils and never had any issues. I should have bought H&R springs for the TL but I wanted to have the option to lower the car to my like.
