Haha, nope. But I do have 3 amplifiers, 2 subwoofers, 2 car batteries, 1 capacitor, custom etched & smoked plexiglass, 7 color LED kit, and custom fiberglass enclosures in my trunk lol 
And yes, I am serious. My car's name, WHITE HEAT, is the shit!
What's wrong with that name!?

Here are a couple links, but there are a bunch more on here. If anybody remembers Buda (another member on here who moved to Kansas I think) he installed them on his 05 and they look really good!!! He's a friend of mine on facebook, so I can always hit him up for some info.

Don't feed the...WTF?
If anyone is interested (I'm going to try them) - Woot.com has the Mr. Clean autodry car wash system for 2.99 (limit 3). I googled and everything is coming up around $20.00.
The water is so hard at my house that it leaves some pretty nasty rings on my car if I don't dry it while it's still wet. I usually have to go over the car again with a wet rag to get rid of the waterspots after I dry. Worth a shot for me at least.
Oh - don't know if I griped about this before or not.... Spent about an hour making a kick ass ad for Craigslist to put my car up for sale, see if I get any takers. Hit submit, and the web page errored out. So - all this talk about putting my car up for sale hasn't amounted to anything yet. Not even sure if I will list it anymore or not.

I bought my dad the autodry kit for father's day a few years ago. I didnt like it as it left a film on the car so I dont recommend that product.

I actually need to figure out how in the hell I'm going to install a softener someday anyways. My water main enters the house in the laundry room, but all my piping for the house/water heater are in the basement - where there is no drain. WTF?

Not sure how this is going to go. Technically I have figured out a way of getting more money for my budget and really don't need to sell - but I threw it out there anyhow.
Doing a search, it is about 3k over anything others are asking. Although mine does look the cleanest - bodywise and because of the exterior mods I've added.
Already had 1 person ask about mileage and interior - but until they come to me and get a set of keys, I'm not getting my hopes up too much. I either sell within the 30 days the ad is good for, or I continue to drive the TL. I consider that a win/win situation if you ask me.

I was wondering because I am getting new Xenon bulbs and the company I am buying them from say that the bulbs I require don't come in Dual Element (both lo-beam and high-beam in one bulb). I assume my headlight bulbs are Bi-Xenon like yours, even though my low beam headlamps are HID-D2R and my high beam headlamps are 9005.

I noticed you listed "Bi-Xenon headlights" under the standard features of your car. Does this mean your headlight bulbs have both the lo-beam and high-beam in one bulb? If so, why does Sylvania state that your low beam headlamps are HID-D2S and your high beam headlamps are 9006 (different bulb sizes for the low- and high-beams)?

So the short answer is Yes - the TL does have Bi-Xenon. The 9006 bulb is for the fogs (which happen to be in the headlight housing)

The implication on the water softener was that you would have a spigot for washing the car. If the basement is not totally finished, or you have a drop ceiling, it shouldn't be too hard to install.

Negative on both ghost rider. So my only option I believe would be to put in a drain. Not sure how that would work though it would be a sand drain, and I'd think the backwash from the softener would just clog the drain within a few days or weeks. I think that also would prevent me from using a sump pump to get everything up a level (that's what I do for my A/C currently)

So I just looked at your ad, would you be interested in selling the headlights to me, or swapping them out for the stock ones that my TL has?

But - if I get someone that isn't interested in them and would rather have things as stock as possible for warranty reasons, I will certainly keep you in mind (and you too Takata for the Type-S stuff) - but I guess at this point I wouldn't hold my breathe.

I'm tempted to say yes - but I'm not sure that it would work. 1) The ad says that I have cleared lights, so I can't really go back on that in case someone actually cares; 2) I've got over a grand into these lights so I couldn't let them go for $100 and a swap or anything (expensive cause I was like the 3rd guy on AZ to have it done), and 3) If for whatever reason the car doesn't sell - I'd like them for myself because they're HAWT.

I got it!!! We can switch lights now (and Takata the Type-S stuff) and if someone is interested in buying that stuff then we will give it back....deal
All you'd have to say is that someone else is temporarily utilizing the parts for you to guarantee operation.....yeah....that's it! I mean you have the pics to prove you had the car that way I'm just kidding. Honestly though, if you find a buyer who doesn't like the headlights let me know. I'd definitely swap them for mine and buy you a beer to call it even

See, when I custom build my next house, I am going to have a garage with water-proof walls so that I can wash indoors, and I will also have a bunch of fluorescent lights on the ceiling and walls for when I am polishing. I will also have a water softener installed specifically for the car wash area so that I don't get hard water spots on my car.
But, I'm a freak like that.

When we built our house, I specifically had them run both hot and cold soft water to a 2 handled faucet in our garage. I can wash the vehicles with soft water and can also wash outside even when it is cold because I can use warm water.

This is what I am talking about. I have an indoor wash bay now, but it doesn't have heated water so in the winter the water is about 1/4 degree above freezing.
