Hello Everyone--New Member

Hello,

My wife and I bought an 08 TL w/ Nav a couple months ago. Has 60K miles and is Acura Certified. It is actually the wife's car but I get to drive it on the weekends. I come from a family of Honda owners, I drive an 01 civic as my daily commuter. I previously had two other Honda's, an 88 Accord (290K miles) was rear ended, then a 94 Accord (180K) was an automatic and needed a manual so I bought the 01. I spend most of my online forum time over at a civic forum but I will try to help out here if I can. I was very intimidated by the Acura logo at first but after spending some time on here and reading the DIY's its really not that scary. I wouldn't hesitate to tear my civic apart and really the TL is a Honda underneath so it looks like it should be easy to work on.

Here are some pics: I would love to lower it but she is not going for it. Maybe eventually I can convince her!







My 01 Civic with 172K miles. Lowered on KW Variant 2 coilovers.

Lol, so true. She had off work for a week and I could have driven her car to work all week but after 2 days I told her I can't drive it anymore because now I want one

Just stopped in to say hello and congrats... You made two of the best decisions you could make 1:buying that car & 2: finding this site!... You won't regret either one & be sure to look for parts on here before anywhere else would probably be a good idea ... Thanks A-Zine...

Hello - Also a new member!

Hello everyone. I've been visiting the forum for a while and finally joined up. I've got a 2006 TL with 55k miles on it. Desert Mist is the color I believe. Anyway, I've been researching CAI's, DRL's, brakes, exhaust, etc. Lots of things you can do and this forum is great for information.

Thanks! I do love the color also.

Haha, I wouldn't be able to lower it without her knowing. She tells me I "ruined" my car when I lowered it everytime we take it somewhere. I tell her its the roads not the car, if the roads were smoother it would ride better.

Nice car... congrats and enjoy. I also have a certified Moroccan Red Pearl 08 TL with 62K that I bought last December... same car as yours only I don't have Navigation.... I think you'll love your TL as much as I love mine... I also came from a long line of Honda (Accord) ownership.
