#41 of 474 My almost invisiable clear bra (for teel) by jime6 Feb 23, 2004 (10:54 am)
These are pictures of my car with an acrylic clear bra provided by Invisiguard (invisiguardsbglobal.net) in the San Francisco Bay Area. Invisiguard is a local _representative of X-Pel. The thickness is 6-mil and comes with a 5-year guarantee. The cost was for my TL was $670 including $595 for the full set (front, hood, rear view mirrors and door edges) and $75 for a 40 mil (I think) headlight cover.The front covers everything in front of the front wheel wells. You can barely see a line where the bra ends in http://home.comcast.net/~jherick/tlcr.jpg   Other pictures of the car do not show the clear bra at   http://home.comcast.net/~jherick/tlall.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~jherick/tlleft.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~jherick/tlfront.jpg   __________________

Your car looks great. Anthracite, right?   One question about the clear bra. Once it's installed, how does future maintenance go? What I mean is, will future waxings cause the rest of the car to take on a different luster than the part with the bra, or do you wax right over the bra or what?   My TSX already has several rock chips, so I'm considering the clear bra.   Thanks

Beautiful looking car! I went with RRed. Elaborate a little more about how it works and what it's supposed to do-for those of us who have just recently heard about this option. Thanks!
#44 of 474 The clear bra prevents rock chips by jime6 Feb 24, 2004 (6:30 am)
Maintenance: After 60 days wash and wax just like the rest of the car. Zaino is recommended because of the minimal wax build-up.   People don’t even notice mine is on the car unless I tell them. The bra is “semi-permanent” in that it can be left on the car for an indefinite amount of time. It protects the car from getting chips in the paint from rocks.   I had a 95 Acura Legend Coupe with 140,000 miles on it. The rock chips pretty well covered the front of the car by the time I sold it. After a lot of research I decided to purchase a “clear bra” for my new TL to protect the front end from rock chips.   Clear Bra’s were first used on very upscale and race cars to protect the expensive paint jobs. They are now being more widely used. For more info see Xpel’s web site www.xpel.com
#45 of 474 2004 TL speakers by paulg54 Mar 04, 2004 (12:38 pm)
Has anyone upgraded the speakers in the TL? If so, what did you use and what was the effect?

A journalist is hoping to interview a consumer who has purchased a used car, truck or SUV and customized it with accessories to match interests and tastes. What kind of extras did you add? Leather? Sunroof/moonroof? Upgraded stereo? Video system with flip down monitor? Off-road gear? Wheels and tires? Special paint jobs? Window tinting? Please respond to newswizearthlink.net and/or jfallonedmunds.com by Friday, March 5 with your name, daytime contact information and some information about your vehicle. Thanks!

#47 of 474 wing spoiler? by mikeyk Mar 15, 2004 (8:47 am)
Is the optional spoiler worth the price? I think it makes the car look sharp but does it really add anything to the driving experience?
#48 of 474 Wing spoiler by 1violinist Mar 16, 2004 (11:09 am)
I don't think it has any substantial effect on driving experience. It's supposed to inhance the aerodynamic and decrease drag, but the effect is so small that you wouldn't really feel the difference. As for the price, it's best to reach a good deal on the car first, then negotiate to have the dealer throw it in! Good luck!
#49 of 474 Spoiler by 2003tls Mar 17, 2004 (2:11 pm)
yes, I got the OEM spoiler in my 2003 TL Type S. It slows the car down (drag and all), cost extra $, makes the car harder to wash, the trunk harder to open, and does absolutely nothing for performance - and I love it. Maybe it is a bit boy racer, but that's why I got the TL instead of a Lexus ES in the first place.
#50 of 474 Upgrading Stereo by mdhauke Apr 17, 2004 (5:10 pm)
Has anybody upgraded their TL stereo to make it louder? Is so how? Replies to this message: zodiacfish (Jul 04, 2004 9:33 am) zodiacfish (Jul 04, 2004 10:08 am)
