Does your 2G still turn heads?
considering some of our cars are almost ten years old, does your TL turn heads still? i was taking my car in for service and a guy in his thirties, in a 2009 TSX loaner, flags me down on the off ramp and tells me that my TL (2002 TL-S)was the nicest TL that he's seen around.
has anyone gotten comments like this? most of the time, everyone asks about my paint and if its custom. i say nope, its all stock
so what do people say about your 2G?

I get stares and thumbs up all the time, or people coming up and asking me about it. Im the only 2g TL fixed up in my area, so it gets a lot of attention.

...
surprisingly the question i get asked the most over anything(besides how big are your rims)... "what kind of car is that?" of course my trunk is shaved and my grill has no emblem but I thought most people would be familiar with the car.. I was wrong theyre all confused.

mostly compliments from my friends. A lot of people I know hate how I have the inspire trunk "H" and inspire "H" grill because they argue that a Honda doesn't compare to an Acura

My 1st gen still turns heads and it is 13 years old! I get questions and compliments all the time about, whether I am at work, driving, or walking into it.
It gives me a good feeling when I see and hear people appreciate the time and effort that I have put into my car.

Give it the full detail with claybar-then several compounds and pads with the UDM orbital buffer, final polishing to get the last micro swirls ---
so its better than new, all topped off with a spray on carnuba-synthetic blend wax to protect your hard work for 3 more months
The neighbor thinks my 01 is brand new- `What are you doing under that thing! it cant need any repairs yet~`
At the grocery store: bag boy carrying out the stuff ask the wife- is this YOUR car?
Well, my H put the wheels and shocks on it~
Yeah- that explains it, didnt look like a girls car
me at gas station to girl cashier- ahh pump #?? mmm
`You must be that badazz lowered grey car right? Looks like you belong with it!`

I was shocked how different and better the car looked after claybar and paint cleaners etc--it was a different color- LGM is dark grey-green-changes with light and angle...looks 2 shades lighter after cleaning and protecting

Mine turns a few heads, im the only 1 around here with mods on a 2g, its all old people & they look at me with a WTF face especially when they hear the system and exhaust. Then theres all the little ricer civics, tegs, and accords that wanna run me and think cuz my cars bigger than theirs that it wont stand a chance.

2003 TL-p
i turn a lot of heads, with my blacked out front and always shinny clean paint job, HIDs and LEDs shinning. i guess you don't come across blacked out NGM TLs too often.
people always wana race me, idk why. i get a lot of compliments as well mostly from all my VW buddies and i also get flamed as rice by my hick buddies for driving anything import
even if its 100% stock.
all and all a clean 2nd gen TL will always turn heads, i dont care how old they will get, its the best looking TL ever made.
