Nice... keep going. Do you have a list of all your "ToDo" upgrades?

I'm still debating on swapping my grill '11 TL, really like RonJon but I think a little over priced

Wow Rich - you have already done some nice mods to your 2012!
I love the painted grille and your debadge.
I have heard only good things about the TEIN coilovers with EDFC.

Rich, your "before" pictures are obviously blurry, but your "after" pictures are clear.

Niceee looks brighter. Where did you buy the LED from? Does it help you see better at night thru the reverse camera?

As a fan of debadging, I don't think I'll do it on my new TL. It seems to take it from clean to very bare on the TL for some reason.
