I'm new around here...

Hello, AcuraZine!

Last month I purchased an 2005 TL NBP/Camel, MT, 65,000 miles and joining a forum with savvy/long term Acura gear heads is one of the first things I knew I should do. I look forward to learning all the tips and tricks you all have to offer.

I am transitioning from a ballin' 1995 Saturn SL2 AT with 200,000 miles on her and needless to say, Atlanta traffic has never been so much fun to weave in and out of.

The first round of mods I am looking to do is a tint job, mid-muffler delete, and CAI. Does anyone recommend a shop in Atlanta for the tint job and delete?

After 5 years of dreaming of owning a TL, I am a proud new member of the club!

JW

Looks great. I love the look of black, but I hate the heat and keeping it clean.

I did the mid-muffler delete, but keep in mind that it's not likely to provide much in the way of performance. It will produce a slightly meaner exhaust note. There are a fair deal of ponies you can free up through the exhaust though. If you're interested, look up info on aftermarket jpipes and PCD's (pre-cat deletes) or HFPC's (high flow pre cats).

And welcome to the club There's quite a few sharp folks around here that can help with just about anything you're interested in with the TL.

NBP TL when clean is very eye catchy IMO. That's why I try to clean mine as much as I can.
