I am picking it up today. I am coming from a 91 accord, still runs strong but A/c is shot and various little age related issues(anyone want it cheap?).
Its a 2003 TL-S in Anthracite metallic.

good luck man ....looks clean.....now let the modding begin!!!!

 

congrats!!!!!!!!! and good luck with the car, i'm sure you'll love it.

 

welcome aboard

 

What a big upgrade! A 12-year difference, 2 extra cylinders, double the HP, and a helluva load of luxury goodies.

Of course that is the natural progression of Accord owners. I had a '96 EX-V6. Once you go V6 power, you don't go back to the 4-banger!

 

We are on the same boat...I also got a 91 Accord but I'm still keeping it. Got 230K on it and it's still running good This is my everyday car....just want to keep my TL nice and clean

 

Congrats and Welcome to the forum

 

nice and clean. I want a Type S, too

By the way, welcome

 

Congratulations, and welcome to the Type-S club.

How much do you want for the Accord? My friends and I are looking for a cheap beater. Don't ask why.

 

Welcome to the boards oh and let the modding begin.

 

Yeah i tell you i miss that car already. It has never had a problem in 8 years. I hope i have the kind of luck with the TL-S. I think i should be ok i have an Acura 100k bumper to bumper. BTW this car is great. its eats gas when you get on it but thats ok when it had double the power of the accord i guess. any wise tips or tricks from anyone?
THanks
Jay

 

Yeah. Install UR crank pulley, CAI, and headers in that order ASAP!

 

Ok so had the car for a day and a half and some kid threw a rock at my rear pass door. so much for waiting till i found that MINT TL-S. damn kids with nothing better to do.

Park Ave Acura!! right in my back yard. i got my car there too, great guys. parts department is awesome there too. but the service reps are alittle whack.

i know a few guys there, and ive seen that car there for a while. i always stared at it, i always had a thing for anthracite.

when will you be picking it up?

 

oh never mind, you already picked it up

haha congrats and good job on the purchase! TL's are the greatest

 

i also went from a 91 accord sedan to a TL.....loved it

 

i still get sad when i see it in the driveway with no plates on it..... So far i love it. minus the fresh dent in the door. http://www.photohostusa.com/apt/Picture%20007.jpg Its kinda deep dent in that weird spot below the window. can those dent wizzard guys get that out you guys think?
Thanks

bro...from the pic it doesn't look like a dent, it looks more like a deep scratch. ask the dent wizzard but IMO, it needs re-painting or try touch up paint. But touch paint won't do a great job specially in your case. They are only good in small/minor scratches.

 

another TLer from westchester....this color was my 2nd choice...nice car man

 

yeah i really need to take a better picture. its definately a dent tho. but you are right the scratches are really deep. i need to get it looked at soon.

 

yea thats the main thing abuot upgrading your car...you also upgrade your worries

i used to throw my old accord around like it was nothing...it was a DX and had the big rubber bumpers so i could rear end people and it wouldnt scrath anything

now some fuck tapped the back bumper of my TL and chipped off alot of paint...and im TRIPPIN....i also had my front hood pushed in a little bit due to city parking....if i had my accord i wouldnt think twice

 

Nice color. They didn't have that color in 2k otherwise a definate sale. Congrats on the TL-S! Now can you keep up is a better question? have fun and use the search feature!

 

Congrats, thats my favorite color and its was only available for the TL-S model in 03. That's why I got it too.

Yonkers, I use to live there as a kid. On Elliott Ave if I remember correctly. Sorry to hear about the window but thats not unusually for that area. That's been happened since the 80's. Damn punk kids!!!

Oh and Happy Modding!!!

 

I went from an 89 Accord to a TL. How much did this one set you back?

 

22900 with 100k bumper to bumper with 27k on the odometer

 

it's almost like we all came from accords!
i had a 92 accord LX 4-door stick and i loved every second of it! unfortunately had to sell it to afford my Type-S in cash. oh well, sold it to my sister

WELCOME TO AZ BRO

 

'89 SEi Accord coupe (green/tan) to '98 LX-V6 coupe (green/tan) to '02 CRV EX (black/black) to the '04 Navi TL. Dyed-in-the-wool fan of the big H. Honda knows that God is in the details. Ever have a blocked sightline in a Honda (with a properly adjusted seat)?

 

From countless Accords myself.

 

its true, besides the obvious engineering marvels in powertrain design, its the attention to details and littles things that people actually use that make the cars great.
btw, where can i get a 2 din radio dash kit, i have be looking for a while now...
