Does your TL turn heads?

I don't know but lately my TL has been turning serious heads on the road. Just driving at roughly around 6pm for around 30 mins, 4 different people in 4 different cars would look over and just stare almost stalkerishly checking out the car, then look at me and then checking out the car again LOL Half of the stares occurred at the stoplight so I could clearly see them staring away!!

I don't know if its because I live in a college town so there's alot of old cars or if its because I just washed my car or if its because i just dropped on TL-S tails on my car yesterday but its interesting that it makes people stop, stare and envy.

Do you guys get looks or do u cause broken necks with your TL? It would be interesting to hear

I often break my neck when ever I see a TL.

My V-LEDS 6K LED DRLs usually break necks...I guess because it's so rare to see.

Ya, people stare at me sometimes, especially at stoplights. I think its because I'm just a kid and people are like WTF is a kid doing in that car lol. But whenever I see a clean TL or a type-s, I can't help but to stare

People usually look back when I cruise around campus after I drive by.. when my girl drives my car she breaks even more necks LOL.

I do hate it when the occasion ricer rides my ass on the highway and tries to race.

I stare at other TL's though when I see them on the road, especially really clean ones.

Yep. Sometimes it turns my own head.

Especially after this weekend - I rotated my tires and while they were off the car, I decided to clean and polish the wheels.

In my old car, yes. Not as much in the TL-S as it's stock right now. However, I would always admire a TL (base or S) when I was on the hunt for my replacement TL.

She did a 360 around my car and was like " hey you have a nice car, i notice you have a sound system goin on, can i hear? " Funny cuz her guy-friend was just standing there in the back

she was cute too LOL

It definately does. The best part is that it still turns my head. When I park it and walk away I usually do a double take and check my own car out still after all these years lol

I usually check out TL's when they pass by. Especially when they're dropped on nice wheels. Can't wait to own one soon!!!

i tend to mind my own business when i'm driving, so i'm not sure if people look and then get surprised its a female driver in the car.

i stare down a few now and then if they are really clean and modded. and i also do the look back at the car thing when its parked...i like staring at the LED license plate lights when i lock the car (since i don't get to stare at my car's ass when i'm driving to admire the view).

I notice 3rd gen TL's, still kind of wish I got one instead of my '04 Accord (but the deal I got was impossible to turn down), styling has held up well.

Yup! All the time ... my TL is pretty much bone stock, but always shiny and clean. Always have people staring at it and complementing me on it. Especially when I am filling up at the gas station.

Not bad for an almost 7 year old car!

As with some people I mind my own business when I drive lol

People do look when I pull up to the pumps or something but that's probably just reaction cause I do the same if any car comes up.

yeah all the time. its funny when i see people next to me at stop lights staring and probably thinking "wow that cars low" lol. I also got to see how sexy my car is when i had to pick up my R6 from the shop and had my friend drive my TL back behind me. i was looking in my rear view mirror the whole time haha.

Sure do, I sometimes have people at stop lights ask me to roll down my windows so they can ask me if my windsheild is tinted and if its legal lol I also get thumbs up from people while driving.

I have had people comment on my car but its mostly people around my age.....teenagers. My car is pretty much stock except for custom tails, tint and trunk lip spoiler which most people won't even notice.

I am sure at night I might get some looks since most of my mods are lighting. My tint is too dark to tell if someone is looking at me though. I stopped trying to get other modded Acura drivers attention. After the 3rd time I got ignored (LOL) I stopped doing that. But I usually notice other cars that are nicely modded.

btw I made a thread similar to this a year ago almost. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/how-much-attention-does-your-tl-get-812577/

Yes especially when I drive pass by some ricer meeting seeing them cooking porridge with big ass hks/greedy wannabe exhaust and 20000000k hid headlights...the expressions on their faces tell me they wish they own a real car like mine while trying to figure out who is driving since I tinted my windows so dark...
