Talking Hi guys new person here!
Hey everyone. I'm Liem from Colorado. I'm fairly new to the boards but have been lurking around for a while. I've seen many cars on the board that are so nice. It makes me want to mod the hell out of my car lol. But sadly I'm only a high school student and with the economy like this I won't be modding for a while . For now I have a 99' Acura TL Monterey Blue Pearl but look to own a 3g sometime in the near future. Well thats all I have to say and look forward to meeting some members of the board and fellow Colorado TL owners.

Oh I forgot here are some pics:







Yes the car is very dirty because I haven't have time to clean it but will later on lol

Welcome. You might want to look into the DIY of fixing your headlights, It really doesn't cost too much, just a lot of elbow grease, but will make your car look ALOT cleaner.

Welcome to the Boards!
Get out the DIY there are a few that are cheap that you can do that can change the look of the car instantly. You need to have pockets that are bottomless pits because the deeper you get into the mods the more expensive they become.

What happened to your exhaust tips?

Also, if you don't want to bother with the WetSand DIY, you can get PlastX. It is about $5 for a bottle, and it works good. But, if your headlights have scratches the wetsand will be better. My headlights don't have scratches, but were a little cloudy. I use it everytime I wash, and the oxidation is slowly going away. Looks alot better than before!

Welcome! Another Colorado member here too! PM me (when you have access to it) I am planning to upgrade to a 05 RL very soon, so if I sell/trade in my 2000 TL, I might have some parts you would like (02 taillights, 6disk cd changer, exhaust tips!hahah, type S rims) for upgrades. PM me when you can, and enjoy the TL!

Thanks for the direction. And I'll make sure to stay clear of the 2nd Gen TL forums.
