yep very much excited before i always did leases and my last one was an A4 and i got tired of that stuff being carefull with the miles and all that stuff, and i went to braman honda and i saw her parked under the sun very shiny, it was love at first sight and once i did the test drive i just....... well i have her now lol lol lol.

yea i am very happy, from now on i can tell you all my future Acura's will have black interior, my previous car had tan interior and it was a pain to keep it clean, not to mention the exterior. i cant wait to tint it, i was thinking 20% since the interior is black.

Originally Posted by DarkSithCL

yea i had never driven an Acura before and is just nice all over, interior, exterior style, the way the engine feels, the power, etc, etc is just one reeally good car.

and question for all of you, since it has 57 thousand miles what would be good to do to it, like engine mounts, timing belt???????

Thank you in Advance

yea i can't believe how clean the car is, no dents or scratches or anything, the only thing is the leather in the interior shows a little wear but its fixable so im happy with it.

Nice! I just got my first TL yesterday. I love the car. It's an 06 with 50k miles. Black with tan interior, the dealer also had a black interior one took me a few days to decide but ended up going with the tan interior. Cant have a car without tint, Mines getting tinted Monday morning at 8am. what % are you going with?

thanks i had never driven an Acura before and then i test drove it and that was it, and those wheels im looking into them once the next two paychecks arrive, i dont know if i will go with 19" or 20" but i do want the concave look just to change it a little

hey thanks i been looking into the concave look dont know why i think it makes the car look wide i just need to figure out the proper offset so it wont stick out the fender and save the $$$$$ to get them lol.
