Hey everone,

I just recently bought my 2003 SSM TLS (no nav) less than a month ago. I've been browsing the site now for a few weeks and noticed a few people asking about prices.

I bought mine for $29,600 (which is right at invoice price) from Keyes Acura in LA (SF Valley, to be specific). They also offered me more than a $1,000 more for my trade-in than another Acura dealer. They were very cordial. That's also where I bought my wife's MDX a year ago.

As for the car, I've been inspired by the mods discussed on the site. So far, I've only changed the grill slightly & installed my own spoiler from sportwing.com (the install was a piece of cake & it looks exactly like the OEM spoiler w/LED).

As for me, I'm a 31 year old Bankruptcy attorney (yes, business is booming right now). Hopefully none of you need my help, but if you do, I'll take care of you. Take care & thanks for all the great input on some of the posts.

Definitely. I'm planning to mod the lights. I'm also planning to do a few other things in the interior, i.e., change the window controls to auto (I know someone who purchased more auto up/down switches from Acura & changed it himself. I also may add a digital compass.

I'm not planning on messing with the engine, aside from a cold air intake. How much HP does a new exhaust add? I'm probably not going to change the wheels or springs though.
