Just picked up a 2003 TL-S

I just traded in my 97 Mercedes E420 for a used 2003 TL-S w/ Nav with 26k miles. What a big difference in ride compared with the benz. I love it! My warranty on the Benz was over in January so I wanted to get rid of it before I started paying an arm and a leg for repairs.

I have been reading about the transmission problems in this forum. I hope I am lucky and not hit the problem. The dealership told me that the car was checked for the problem and that they found no issues. However, as a precuation, they did install something that adds extra lubrication.

Which mods? If mods like tires, wheels, body kit, etc then cheeck out the photo gallery or check the rides out on cardomain.com under Acura TLs and you can sort by year, performance, etc. Welcome to the club.

Nice rides

I checked out Bello425's car, MADCAT's car, and TommiGSR's car. All very nice. I think I will enjoy my car the way it is for now and then later maybe add the spoiler and add a light tint all around. Although, the body kit that I have seen looks nice.

TommiGSR, I like the body kit. Did you buy that from Acura? How much did that cost?

Bello425, there was a pic of the "recall fix". Is that the 'oil jet kit' that prevents the tranny problem?

MADCAT, I like the chrome shift plate.
