n00b iNTRODUCTION

Hey everyone. Just wanted to check in and introduce myself. I'm currently driving a 2003 Noble Green Pearl TL-S with 45,000 on it. I've had my baby for a while now and just recently made it a point to get to know my car on a deeper level. I'm not a real gear-head (I'm an architect, so more design/cosmetic oriented) , so thanks in advance for all the valuable info!

Bah its all good just hop on the bus and get ready to feel the gust of wind as your money starts to fly little by little spending it on mods that make your car look like an Acura Hot Rod

Great an Architect. I am also doing Architecture, currently involved in the 2nd year of college. I would really like to know some words from the Architect from both the Job and the income bases

You can always startup with the Tints, than Drop , than Lipkit if ur car dont have 1 and than the Rims. These Mods can really change the way your car looks really fast.

Welcome to the organization.

I'm a relative stranger here myself, but there are bibles full of knowledge contained in prior (searchable) posts.

And when I couldnt' figure out where my burned out trunk light was, no one made me feel like an idiot. (I did that all by myself.)

Noble green sounds so medieval. Yes King Arthur might I say that shade of green looks quite noble on you

My simple advice to you is... if you really love it, hang in there because it's a tough career and your workload is definitely not worth the $$$ you'll be earning. I see all my peers with other jobs now making double to triple what i make right now in business/finance jobs. Architecture is a lot like being a doctor for buildings instead of people. California has 9 exams including a verbal to obtain your license. I'm just starting this long process. However, it's rewarding to see buildings getting fixed and buit up. Too bad we'll never make that kind of money. Any doctors in the house that want to help donate to mod our cars??? haha

Good luck in school! I remember pulling 25 allnighters in my senior year in one semester. Lemme know if you want to know from my experience.

Thanks for the tips!!! I've got a head start already >) I'm new to the boards, but not new to modding. Updated my signature. I'll post some pics sometime soon. I use to be on the Ac Legend Boards quite a while ago. Had a 92 Red Legend sedan before this car. Acuras are beautiful cars I tell ya.

I'm slightly color-blind, and Noble Green looks like Noble Black to me.

I even checked out that thread of Noble Green Plat referenced ...

Good thing that wasn't my only choice when I was buying used!

I'm happy with the Silver Satin White Diamond Antelope Mist I have!

Thanks! I'll post some pics up soon. Hey t0ast I went to school in Berkeley from 1998-2003. That's when I was driving the Legend around. I still remember the pain of potholes there when I was on H&R/koni setup.

I just looked through my 03 catalog and it looks like it only came in Parchment.
Acura named this green in 02 and 03 but the shades are different.
The 02 was a dark green and the 03 are lighter. So our color was used only 1 year, pretty unique?
Thats why I bought this color.

It'd be interesting to see an NGP with dark interior. I've never tried to picture it until you brought it up. I like the parchment interior quite i bit though. One of the reasons why I never went for a tint. I think a Firepepper Red with a dark grey/black interior would look pretty sweet as well. Anyone have that combo?

Welcome to what I believe is the most valuable forum you'll ever join as a TL owner. The amount of information shared on this board is simply amazing, and the moderators are not overbearing (salute to fasttyms )

In a sense, I'm an architect as well- only my products are more fleeting than yours- I'm an air traffic controller.

Yo Rick, I saw that one too it was nice as hell, dropped with black rims. I was trying to get his attention but I had to take my exit. This color is hot on the CL-P too ( stunna shades )
