Picked up a 2012 SH-AWD TL w/Tech

So finally after all these years of happily driving my 05 A-spec Tl, I decided to make a change. I've always loved the 4G but wanted to wait for the right time. The right time was Saturday. Picked up a cert pre-owned 2012 Sh-AWD Tech TL. Love it. Now the fun begins. Having already researched the parts I want to put on the car without voiding the factory and extended warranty, I'm ready to purchase and install them one by one. Great Car.

I'll also be selling my 05 TL A-spec and will put up details on it. It's lowered, nav, 19"wheels ( i still have original A-Spec 18's), ipod integration, J-pipe installed, cat back system, throttle body, Weapon R air intake, 300watt 12 in sub, upgraded speakers etc. New Transmission from the dealer with warranty. Stay tuned for pictures, price etc. Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Black with Umber Interior. Sh-AWD. First Mod. Deciding between Coil overs or shocks. I had shocks on my other TL and was fine but thinking about the ability to adjust. Also, 20"s wheels are to go on.


Car drives great.

So far, I've added 15% tint all around. Considering going to 10%. Doesn't look as dark as I would like it.
