So I finally got this up. I built out the Thule roof mount on the TL. Even with the bikes off I really like the look of the mount.

My car just rolled 105k and time for the service. My local Honda was charging 1300+ and Acura wanted 1600+

Same ol same. Just DIY it. Or buy your parts online and pay for labor.

daciss

Im at 136 K miles. Everything seems to be running smoothly for the most part. Lately, every time I turn my heat all the way up on high, smells like burning rubber for a time. Any experienced that?

Also I'm going to be getting some TSW interlagos rims that I'm stoked about. They will be 17'. Tad small but still think they'll look sick.

daciss

Finally got the new rims! Will be posting pics soon!

The wife drives the MDX now ^^^

I drive the 07 TL

daciss

Hey guys, just bought an MDX and I'm not sure it'll pass the state limit for tint. Any suggestions on what I should do?

daciss

Little update on the MDX, windows all tinted...really dark

Powder coated wheels satin black.

daciss

I want too! The wife thinks a roof rack or tailgate should come first...

OhYouJest

timsta

I haven't been to C&C before. Not sure of any events happening I don't keep up to date with those anymore. After being pulled over a lot my car looks too ugly to go to C&C.


Mustache- I'm not too far away from you. I'm from Roy.

MustacheRide89

Timsta - hell ya! pretty new to all this but i LOVE Acuras and LOVE my TL. the wife and i almost moved to Roy when we moved back here. love the north side, so beautiful (other then all this damn smog haha)



hey Utah peeps, know of any good tinting shops? any suggestions on level of tint? is UV tint worth it?

timsta

iTrader: (1)

I have some buddies that do tint. One in layton at GM dealership and All star brokers in bountiful. If I were to do it again I'd go 20% all around. I have 5% all around with 35% windshield but got pulled over last month.

MustacheRide89

deff good to know, whats legal here in utah do ya know off hand? is it hard seeing out your back window at night?

timsta

iTrader: (1)

Just the front windows have to be 46.3% that's legal. I don't have a problem seeing out the back.
Didn't realize you have a 4th gen.. i have two buddies that have the 4th gen.

MustacheRide89

oh i love it! i never thought to do mods to it or make it sexier till my Mazda buddy suggested finding forums and hitting up other Acura peeps... glad i did!

so much for tax returns haha

timsta

iTrader: (1)

For real haha.

Who is down for another meet up at that same mall??

MustacheRide89

id be down! my car aint super fancy yet tho

daciss

Whats up Timsta! Long time! Do you still have the roof rack?

I had a guy tint my Wifes Acura MDX past the limit. Paid cash under the table and he did a legit job! Never been pulled over (Knock on wood)

I also moved up to Roy! So Im pretty close to you guys as well.

timsta

I still have the roof rack. I might be getting rid of it in the summer. I think I parked by you at the roy front runner station one time.. I was like this car looks familiar!!

daciss

Ya I park there everyday! Usually have the MDX right next to me too. I bought the roof rack b/c I thought it looked cool. Then I dropped my life savings on two road bikes

timsta

iTrader: (1)

Haha nice! I'll flash you next time I see you.. with my headlights that is!

daciss

Don't invite me to a good time!

It'd be fun to get a meet up going.

timsta

iTrader: (1)

I agree! I'm down for whenever. A canyon cruise would be fun!

The 2016 Nav system just went on sale. I just bought mine so I thought I'd post where to get it for $50 off. The one in my TL is from 07... only 9 years old haha.

new Utah TL owner here. 2nd TL that I have owned, previous was an '04 WDP and now I am back with a '07 CGP both technology pkg.

The new '07 has 170k miles and I am hoping she lasts for a while until I can get my hands on a TL-S 6MT.

golffanatik

Let me know when you get this daciss, I was looking at it yesterday and also have the '07 disc currently. I live in South Jordan and half my streets are not on the current map.

I'm curious what other updates there are as well.
