First post...Picking up TL-S today

I used to always make fun of honda's I'm not gonna lie but I have fallen in love with Acura TLs. I'm tired of driving American crap so I pulled the trigger on a new black Acura TL Type S yesterday. I pick it up in about 4 hours. I plan on puttin a ton of mileage on it so it's probably going to remain pretty stock except for tint, high end stereo, and maybe some maya 19's...

To show you where I'm coming from here are a couple pictures of my current vehicle haha.

11" of lift


makes an h2 look tiny


after the lift thing got old I made my truck a Tahoe SS clone (GM never produced)

Wow, your doing a 180 degree change going from monstrously large american trucks to mid-size Japanese Lux sedan. Congrats though.

The tahoe will be in the family forever haha. I plan on lifting it again and turning it into my hunting vehicle. It really has seen its better days.

I've heard these cars are a biatch to add a stereo too. Has anyone added a JL cleansweep. If y'all could link me to some stuff I'd greatly appreciate it.

Also I really love Maya STMs but I don't love the price. I saw some knock offs on ebay called XIX that look almost identical. Is anyone running those? If so links to that or advice is greatly appreciated.

Is it me, or have your pictures from picturetrail.com expired? I cannot see them. Try uploading them again to http://www.imageshack.us

Anyway, you say you won't mod it, but hang around here long enough and that will change.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the family!

I am big into stereo too...

I just added 2 10's in the trunk, with a 1500-watt amp, and use the remaining factory speakers... unplugged the stock sub, of course.

The sound quality is EXCELLENT! You will be able to turn the bass gain down on the factory speakers, since you have the subs. This makes them less stressed, sound WAY better, and makes the whole overall system sound fantastic!!

PM me if you need help with the subs... it's a little "tricky" due to the active noise cancellation unit the TL-S uses, because you have to disable that for a sub to work.

*drool*

So... using that logic, we'll get a care if we make fun of it enough??

I really need to start hating on the RS4 crowd, AND the M6 retards!
