Well then I should thank him! His car is the reason my husband decided to buy me a TL for Valentines day lol. He didn't like TLs but when he saw his at the meet, he was like wow, they have the ability to look sexy LMAO

Yeah that's my current TL. I used to have an auto until I made a spontaneous decision one day at hendrick acura to buy a 6mt.

So i've been paying more attention to my girlfriend's car recently.
Reinstalled an old CF rear lip that I decided to paint white and leave the center CF. Just put it on tonight and installed LEDs for the license plate so the cops don't have to squint at night when they see me rollin.
Polished the headlight covers. Applied yellow tint on the fogs. Painted the grille black.
The rust behind the front wheel bothers me. My plan is to fix that problem. Either purple or aqua will suffice.
There is a HKS carbon ti exhaust on the way for it as well.

So you can spend money on the IS but not the TL? When are you going to make the TL Flush. I mean I think you should get it done before IA.

I would have done the grill in matte black or matte gunmetal to match the bottom and left the IS badge chrome. Things look good otherwise though.

I want to let everyone know that i've decided to stop being so lazy with my nikon, shooting in auto mode all the time and watched tutorials on youtube all night. I learned how to use the wireless flash, umbrellas, soft boxes, and the wireless trigger. So now, with my brand new knowledge, i'm gonna try some things. lol. Stay tuned.

If you want a brand new one, I have a Nikon D3100 and I love it. It's compact compared to other DSLR cameras but still has big $ options like 1080p video recording and such.
Before I bought the D3100, I had a D60, and I loved that camera as well. Check Craigslist for used DSLRs if you want to go that route. That's where I sold my D60.

Eric, that sounds pretty good! I was expecting it to be loud, but its actually got a nice tone to it.
What sort of photography do you see yourself doing?

Wow, not to sound like a cheapskate here, but damn! Even the cheaper ones are expensive lol. I think im going to skip CL, i always feel like im either getting scammed on there or setting myself up to get mugged or raped lol. My bro actually works for Nikon up in NY so im going to see what he can do. I know certain times of the yr they sell employees overstock for dirt cheap. ..Did you buy additional lenses also, or the cam it's self is good enough?
