Acura Newb

Hi guys,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I just picked up an '04 AM TL with 33k miles to be my family car and daily. I've always been into American muscle but I fell in love with the TL when I test drove it. Super comfortable and feels and drives like a much more expensive car.
Looking forward to doing some simple mods like A-spec suspension, wheels, exhaust, and CAI.

Kevin

Welcome Kevin!

Congrats on the new whip man! AM is a sexy color and your TL has really low miles!

Be sure to grab the A-Spec kit if you go with the suspension as well

LOL probably the only reason I'll be keeping it to "simple mods" on the TL is because I have been going crazy on the Vette and the Mustang. Gotta keep the TL somewhat reasonable so I always have something that runs.
Right now my Mustang has a bent (aftermarket forged 31-spline) axle and the Vette has a broken driveshaft coupler.
