i originally ordered the black but after a longfought battle with springfeild acura i got a white on black one. love at first sight/drive. better pics soon these were quick before work.

white driveway (mom's white accord,my cl, now my tl-s)


here she is



interior



the cl in the back-up cam


cl-up to par

 

only plans i have to make her complete are red led's,and to a-spec it out.(kit,suspension,rims)
i was thinking aftermarket rims but still undecided.still have tons of time to decide.she has 132 miles as of now.

 

Damn, I was really enjoying those pics. That is until I got down to the dash pics. All that red is just a little too 'Pontiac' for me.

Just kidding, really sweet ride. Have fun.

I see that your TLS got blessed, I see the coins all over the floor...Mine was like that 3000 miles ago. lol...you guys are making me trade my 06....grr!!!! Congrats man.

 

Nah, you're right. Everything about the TL-S makes it a sweet whip, except for all of that red. I'll take the white and blue hues of the regular TL, thanks.

It sucks that you didn't get your first color choice... I would have been pissed. BUT honestly I think that WDP is HOT HOT HOT. (BTW your CL looks really good, too. Classy.)

 

I have to put in the obligatory "you just bought a TL-S but you're living at home with your mom?" NICE!

 

Yea that red is too much. Should be red only in the places where the blue was on the regular TL like the gauges and the volume/sound knobs. Every other button should of been white light.

Anyways nice color choice! The white makes the TL look very sporty looking.

 

yes sir, i live downstairs rent free.it's like my own place.my girl and i have enough privacy(except on laundry day) i bought this car to establish credit.my credit is good just a lack of it.my next move is a townhouse.(refuse to rent or lease cars)
i bust my ass (sometimes 60-80 hrs) at a good job to bring home four digits a week.i figured get the car i want and enjoy it now before i have a mortgage or kids and no real bills.i gotta stack $$$ while i can.


i will admit i'm a mama's boy,so much i got a tatoo that says so.

fyi:they wanted 8.9% interest when i went to get a townhouse. i'll get a WAY better rate after i pay this off. it's a shame you gotta be in debt to get a good rate and establish credit. all my bills are on-time every month.

 

i hated the red and rims but after a couple drives/good stares, it they grew on me.


i love this car........

 

I totally agree with that move! A lot of people who are much older than you move into a relative's house to save money to buy their house. For some people to pay rent, a host of bills off and save for a mortgage is a ginormous task! You definitely have your head on straight! I wish cars like this were available back when I used to live at home! (Of course, none of this applies to you if you don't save as intended! = Then you're just another dude living in your mom's house writing your name on the juice carton! )

As for the mama's boy part, you gotta get that shit outta your system before you get out the house man! 25 and mama's boy? It don't look good...you may find yourself doing this a lot

 

^ For those that didn't know what I meant, who couldn't see this (neat trick):

 

Nice Percy, I'm glad youre happy and next time listen to me biatch, I told you not to go to Springfield months ago it would of saved you tons of headaches. I'll hit you up this weekend to take care of that thing you called me about. Don't go racing around, break the car in first please.

 

congrats and welcome to the type-s club.

 

I love the white TL-S. I bought an 07 Silver ebony/grey int TL-S. But the white looks awesome! Especially when its clean and tires are dressed with super gloss dressing. I wish I have my Silver, black and white one!

 

I don't understand these comments Its very personal Its none of anybodys business where you live Not everybody needs a huge house of their own. I was married (ONCE) and now I will NEVER need my own house I could go into more detail, but its NONE of your business.

 

is it an auto?

 

I had an 06 Silver TL and loved the wheels on it. When I bought my new 07 Silver TL-S I almost had them swap the wheels. But I changed my mind and kept the grey fast & furious wheels. I think they look great with the Silver body and the upgrades to the 07 TL-S- side markers, tail lights, etc. Especially when its washed and tires are fully dressed. I have had several people say (NICE CAR/WHEELS ) So I guess some people like them. I would love a set of 18" aggressive wheels with a machined aluminum surface. A style like on the New 07 335i with the sport package. I like an open 5 star style. But I am not a chrome guy. Just my opinion. I bought a set of used 05 TL chromed wheels and tires on eBay so I can put winter tires on those. I put them on and it looked pretty good, but the chrome out powered the silver body. They would look much better on a black TL-S with tinted windows.

Anyway, the fast & furious wheels grew on me, so I will keep them

 

I am thinking about putting the ground effects A-spec body package on my 07 TL-S. Should I ? Whats the best price and should I put it on myself? I also want to put a light tint on the 4 side windows, but north of Chicago IL the cops are dicks about tinted windows What is the best tint to apply. I tinted about 6 cars back in the early 80's so I know how to do it. I see you can get tint thats already die-cut. Has anybody used them? Whats the best color tint? Smoke or grey, for a Silver TL-S. Thanks much for any suggestions!

 

yeah its an auto..

 

congrats... loving the 2 toned leather seats

 

some quick day pics,and it's an auto

 

are all WDP's rear bumper discolored like that?

 

Nice CL and TL-S!!! looks so hot!!!
Well, I think you make a right choice cuz Black is kinda hard to take care of...
Everytime I wash my car I am scared to see any mini scartch...

 

I remember when you were saying you were gonna go nbp for a change of pace. Glad that didnt work out for you

 

Easy there... my comment was meant to be a light-hearted joke... the OP realized that and I'm glad... I didn't mean to strike a nerve with you? If it's that important to you, maybe you should re-evaluate your living (and car) situation?

 

Percy the car is more perty in person...Next time we'll make it to the meet

 

NO problem. And you DID. I won't go into personal details. HOPEFULLY your life will be perfect. Have a nice day, and GOD bless you.

 

to answer rubaduckie's question, yes, all TL WDPs have the same paint scheme. I checked all the WDP TLs on my dealers lot last week, and they all have the same bumper shade. In fact, if you look at the all the "pearl" colors you will see the same type of shade differences, though it's not as noticeable as the WDPs.

There's been lots of discussion about the WDP paint, but it looks to me like the factory paint job is purposely done the way it is. There is one person in this community who went back to the dealer and demanded a repaint and it looked better, the colors were more uniform. but still not totally the same. Actually, the WDP factory paint job kind of grows on you after a while if you can live with it, it is kind of cool.

I was in Costa Mesa, CA a few weeks ago, and saw a brand new, white pearl appearing Lexus I350; the paint job was right on, the whole car was perfectly uniform, including the bumpers. Maybe Lexus has better paint robots than Acura!

 

Poor quality control on the part of Acura. They claim that it's too hard to match paint colors on different surfaces (metal vs. plastic, etc.). BUT clearly other car manufacturers don't seem to have that much of an issue, as you brought up with the Lexus. You'd think that since every WDP has a mismatch, they would try to fix it. Some have it worse than others... I can live with the color difference. WDP is HOT.

 

I believe the issue is that acura doesnt use a good paint primer, which makes sense as this would cause paint variations based on surface type.

 

Ok - how come there is change all over the floor.....lol What am I missing - it this some kinda of new car good luck ritual?

 

Exactly what I was wondering.
