Thumbs up

TLBaller-

Thanks for the welcome. I am loving my new TL. Its a great car.

I haven't made any mods to the car yet so it probably won't look as sweet as most of the ones on this board but those meets sound pretty fun.

If it's just a ding, go to the Ding Doctor. They use suction methods to pull it out, nothing evasive like painting & patching...

You should come to our next meet. It isn't anytime soon but there will be a post whenever we do have a meet. The post will be in the "TL MEET" link. It doesn't matter if your car is stock, we are all there to meet each other and match faces with screen names. There were couple of stock TL's that one day so don't feel bad. My car has a couple of mods but i still consider it stock! I just have 17" wheels, Clear lights and some stereo stuff. What year is your car? 2.5? 3.2? Just save your money and modding the inexpensive parts 1st!

TLBaller-

I just purchased a 2002 Satin Silver 3.2 TL-P. I am really enjoying it.

I am planning on putting a body kit on it. I think the factory ones are sharp. I still need to get the windows tinted. Sometime in the future, I would like to put some 17 or 18" wheels on.

Got mine done at the Acura dealer for 60 a door. Didn't matter if there where 15 dings, still 60 a door. Check you dealer.
