hey guys i just bought a 03 TLS I have alot of idea's on it and I will keep everybody posted because I will be asking a lot of questions lol I will post pics when I am able to I plan on going for a VIP kinda look but I want something that has not been seen before... It has 77,000 miles grey, looks like gun metal ,black interior, mint condition I paid 10,000 is that a good price to you guys?

 

a "VIP" look aye? there are quite a few on the forum that look VIP. welcome though. first job should be the fog light mod. cheap and easy. have fun modding

 

could've talked down to 9,000. haha

navi??

 

$10,000 kinda high for an 03 but congratz and welcome to Azine

 

^+1


Welcome man be sure to post pics

 

It doesnt have navi but im painting the black part of the grill the same color of the car and im getting ready to get a CF hood and trunk and also a new front bumper no plate black mesh at the bottem painted the same color of the car I will be done with that by the end of the week thanks for the replies. Oh and on the price it was a dealership and they wouldnt go down anymore lol ive been looking for one for months and this is the cleanest one , untouched, one owner you know the deal..

 

not gonna find a CF trunk..

and that won't look VIP ish at all..

 

I said VIP kinda look not exactly that, I have the way i want it to look in my head lol but I have a friend that owns a performance shop that specializes in honda and he said he can get one but i will see and let you know if he can forsure

 

welcome- have a look thru the thread titles and various sections for info about your car and what probs to look for
First thing is register with acura as the new owner and ask if all recalls have been taken care of and if you are part of the 7yr/109kmiles trans warranty group
call 1-800-382-2238x5
Some 03 got a recall on timing belt pulley!!

next, know your radio and nav security codes, write them down in a few secret places--
you will need them when the battery dies

read the owner book cover to cover- ABS and traction control needs to be understood and practiced with in a safe place

 

when you get to the DIY section ck out `Seafoam`- makes cars run like almost new, then change the spark plugs for near new performance
use only NGK Iridium plugs

 

this is VIP

and you paid 1.5-2k more then you should have.

If you are happy with the car it dont matter what you paid

OP, welcome to the boards!

Check out the DIY section for quick and easy mods.

You can also find a ton of things in the Black Market in the Off Topic section because there are a few guys that have part outs going on right now.

GL with everything!

 

congrats on the car buddy, be respectful to other members around here and you will get a TON of help and gain a TON of knowledge pretty quickly...

just be sure to use the SEARCH button before you go starting threads on every question you have, 75% of the time you'll be able to find the answer to your question by searching rather than creating a new thread that we've already seen around here.

good luck and get some pics up!

 

if the search doesnt help you here- use internet search for the subject + acurazine.com
It will dig thru the records here regardless of 3 letter strings etc

 

welcome. hope you learn lots here.

you did pay a lot more than you should have, but maybe the last owner put in a lot of maintenance before he sold it...timing belt, tires..etc


and it doesnt sound like your headed in the vip direction at all unless you are going to paint your CF hood body color. also if you wanna go vip, leave the grill alone.

 

unless its a saber grill!

 

welcome, post pics, have fun =]
