Hello TL. Goodbye Wallet.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've made a couple of posts here and there, but I guess this is my official introduction. After driving crappy Civics for the past 5 or 6 years, finally saved up enough money, graduated college, and got a good job.

'05 WDP TL
6MT w/ Navi
61K miles
$17.7 OTD




Sorry for the crappy pics. iPhone + my photography skills = bad pics.

Congratulations on the new car. I'm in the same boat as you. 21, and had my car a month now. Already debadged, tinted tails, ATLP j-pipe, stage 3 exhaust, Tein S-techs on Tokico blues, JnC blacked headlights w/ZKW-R lense, AEM v2 intake, p2r throttle body spacer and thermal gaskets, 19x8.5" Axis Penta wheels, and a bunch of other little things are all on the way This car was supposed to get me OUT of the modding scene. At least I made my list smaller

All of the mods came with the car.

When I bought the car, I actually had no idea anything was done to it aside from the debadging. Definitely lucked out without even me knowing!

first of all welcome to Acurazine

second, nice ride dude, got some nice upgrades with the purchase body kit, and wheels.

and third, if you want to have a nice car and keep some dough in your wallet, dont ever log on or come on this site.

but if you want to have a car that stands out from all those other boring stock TL's stay a while and learn some stuff and get some good ideas for modding. theres actually alot of them that dont require alot of money. browse the 3G TL GARAGE theres a ton of useful info, and DIY's good luck with the new car, have fun with it.
