Just got an 05 TL

1st time ever buying a used car, but I am so happy with my purchase! Black leather seats, tinted windows, black rims... LOVE IT! Looking into some HID's and possibly intake? I will post some pictures up as soon as I figure out how.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on your purchase. Your TL already has HID's. Are you talking about your fogs?

Look here for instructions on how to post pics: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/how-post-your-favorite-pics-avatar-556986/

Alot of good info here: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-service-department-aka-garage-questions-answers-check-here-first-553557/

Look into the 03-05 accord fog light mod and check out DDM tuning for the HID kit. You will go broke on this site, as I did.

acktl05- thanks! You got pictures yet with the fogs in? Was it difficult to do yourself?

xraided28- my exhaust is still stock, but I got MB wheels drifter 17 x 7.5-100/11440gbm. I bought my 05 TL used and it already had some upgrades. LED's inside, tint all around and the wheels. I'm looking into fog lights, intake and possibly backseat tv monitors for now. But I'm starting with the floor mats first heehee

The wheels are 17x7.5? So they're not as wide as the stock wheels?

Nothing wrong with used cars. After looking at payments of new vs 3-year old used cars, I will never buy a new car again.

Congrats. I am still thoroughly satisfied with my 05 TL after five years of ownership. I haven't gotten the modification bug like many members on this site have yet. I just have tinted windows and the iSimple intergrated iPod system. This site is a great resource for questions.
