Looks good. Now get those windows tinted. I got mine done at 20% all around here in TX, but one of the perks of being an ex cop. 
Also, don't wear new blue jeans on those flaxen seats unless you like color transfer. Looks just like my car but I have the black interior.
Did you get rear steer, HUD, or ML. I was curious as I'd never seen them before I got mine, but I'm happy I did.

I got both HUD and ML and I think every possible option.. having remote start added as well. Thanks for the heads up about blue jeans.. same problem with stone washed jeans?

Just the springs so far. I want to see how she looks with the little drop before deciding about the rims. I like the graphite look of these wheels but.. a bit more width/fender filling with some offset would sure look nice.
Yes, I have that option.. I think I have every possible option.

Welcome to the board! I had an '06 TL for a year. Great car but lots of rattles and it didn't handle as well. After test driving a BMW 335i I knew I wanted that car. I can say after owning this GS for a year I do not miss the 335i in terms of handling. The GS is a solid car overall. That's why I'm a bit hesitant about changing anything on this car.
How do you like the look and ride of the Tanabe? Did you consider the other springs?

I haven't received the Tanabe's yet, tracking shows delievery today. I will need to find a shop to install them. Others that have installed them have said nothing but good things about the Tanabe's. I did consider other but most that lower it more will require a rear camber kit and none are avaialble yet

Stew,
Congrats on the car, did you get it from Sterling McCall? Also, if you don't mind how much did you pay? I am looking at going the same route but I have been talking to Westside.
Thank You,

You might want to give remote start some thought. I have it on my car because it came with it. I almost never use it because the engine will shut off once you open the car door.
