I've never paid for an exterior mod such as trim or the trunk spoiler or tail lights or any other thing but I would actually pay extra for a grill mod if I could get something like the photoshopped beakless model. It changes the look (IMHO) from a low end car to a luxury sports model. The beak kinda says - I'm still paying off my college loan.

I am kinda itching to head to Toronto this weekend to take a closer look at the prototype TLX at the car show there. But then again I am thinking what for? See something that doesn't look anything like whats going to end up in production?
Well, I am still thinking about it... maybe save my nickles and dimes and go to NYC for the real TLX in April...

I don't know why you think that? Won't the production car metal and glass will be exactly what is shown... minus mirrors, wheels and bumper caps. IMO, 2-4 months from debut, the prototype is surely made with production tools and dies. Chassis, sheetmetal and glass have to be final at this point.

Yep, ... minus mirrors, wheels and bumper caps. Thats a lot. The prototype looks sooooo good I am afraid I'll be disappointed when I see the real thing up close... minus mirrors, wheels and bumper caps.
I got a new 50mm f/1.4 lens for my DSLR and I am eager to test it. If the weather is ok on the highway I may decide to go. Anyone else around the TO car show this weekend?

No worries, would only have it for around 40k miles
Quite possibly, however my 12 TL that's supposed to be the epitome of reliability has alreadybeen to the shop for broken power window switch, and the dreaded torque converter issue. Ive had enough cars over the years to proclaim they all suck.

[shrug] I guess my interpretation of "doesn't look anything like..." is different than yours. I'm just thinking in broad strokes, it's not as if the contours of the doors, fenders or hood will change. Nor will the roofline or rake of the windshield or rear window. In all likelihood, the relationship of the wheels to overall length will remain. [/shrug] If I could attend one of the big shows, I'd love to!
