Here she is right now. She is still at winter height, haven't been able to bring her back down since all this pandemic started...but I did just ceramic coat her.

Ive decided im done modding my TL aesthetically for now and im moving on to the next project. This is my first car, and my first project im hella happy with how it turned out.
Acurazine! It’s been a minute. Shawdy has been through a couple different looks. Currently, she’s bagged on 20” TE37 Ultras and running the GerzyBear Rotrex supercharger.
man, been wondering what you and the other OGs' cars looks like now. I'm feeling those te's on your car.
Still around. I’m only at 30k miles so pretty much like new. Got out of the stance scene and went performance. 400+awhp is a blast. It’s almost AMG C63 fast. They pull about a car. Still on the fence to upgrade to E85 and get it up to 500+awhp. Then it’s in a whole different league.

Decided to pop in and check on the community.
That sounds incredible. I wanna see the Dyno sheet after you do the E85 tune.

For sure. Still need to dyno the current setup. E85 is rated at 550awhp. I’d be happy with anything over 500. Even 400 to the wheels is a big difference.
I'd briefly considered replacing my car with a '18 S4 with the sport package. I don't care for the 1G TLX, and I'd want the next car to have a torque-vectoring rear differential, which pretty much leaves just Audi S versions. But after seeing what the very few CPO '18 S4s within 100 miles are going for, for a car with about the same mileage on it as mine, I decided to keep mine for the foreseeable future. The fact that mine only has 52k miles, and the oil consumption repair (warranty), plus timing belt, water pump, and tensioner were done last year, along with resealing the leaking oil pump (all done while the engine was apart), I decided to just get an exterior makeover done instead. Full paint correction, trim and glass cleanup (hard water spots removed) and ceramic coating. The shop had the car for 3 days. Spendy, but much less than replacing the car. I brought it back today for a free first wash after the coating fully cured, and for him to look for any high spots, he said. Not too long after I bought my car 5.5 years ago, I had seen a post by someone here who had the beak, and trunk garnish, wrapped and I liked the look, but never pursued it. So I mentioned it to the guy and he said he had a sheet of 3M black gloss wrap, and would do it for $25. That's the only mod the car has So here's the result of all that.
Hello, had to vinyl wrap the bumper, grill, fender and door again due to neighbors backing into the TL. This shot was taken when I met up with the wifey (date night grocery shopping at Walmart haha).
Just bought this a week ago, a little late to the party. Found this gem with 52,000km, (32,000miles) confirmed by Acura dealer. Love the car, feeling a slight vibration at the pedal while accelerating, but other than that, it’s great.
