Hello everyone..this is my first post but I have been reading for a while since I decided that I wanted a TL but havent had too much to post since I dont have it yet..I am one of the few females on the board..I have been looking for a TL for a little bit now and test drove one last weekend. Looking to get a used 05+.

Anyway the main point of my post was to ask who I saw driving this morning in Rhode Island from 295 to 95 to route 4 through warwick to exeter I guess? Around 8:20am..Whoever it was had a SSM third gen of course with smoked tails and side markers, debadged in the back except for Acura logo and non stock rims. Oh and A spec body kit.. It was pretty much the nicest car I have seen around here

Just wanted to say hi and see who I saw driving..will post pics as soon as i get a TL..hopefully soon!

Oh and for people around RI..does inskip do anything with the switchblade keys as far as cutting and programming..?

Hey a local New Englander... WELCOME! I'm in CT.

 

Welcome as well! I'm in MASS. What color are you planning on getting?

RAR

 

I am looking at dark interior with either NBP , WDP , or RBP. Oh yeah or AM.

 

Hi Angela...........I had my key cut at City Lock (Elmwood Ave) and the immobilizer programmed at First Acura........

I don't know about Inskip but First Acura is already familiar with the mod.....

(Cranston here.......06 ASM TL)

 

oh nice...wasnt too outrageous as far as $$ was it? But First Acura wouldnt be a problem to get to so I will definitely keep that in mind as well as City Lock.

I am in Glocester..

 

It was $95.00 to have them programmed - I went to the dealer to do it because of my auto start. They have to program ALL your keys at the same time

 

I'm looking to get into a 06 Wdp w/navi perfer dark interior and used with low miles. What is the Key immobilizer? and y do you need to get it programmed? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but I'm rolling in a 2nd gen TL. I want to get familiar with everything that needs to be done to the 3rd gen so when I'm ready to purchase I can know what is what.

 

What you should also keep in mind Angela is that an NBP with ebony interior is a beautiful sight to behold...probably much like yourself! Nice things come in twos right? So double yourself up with a nice looking NBP!

Here, let me give you a lil help so you can "pick a winna" like me!

 

Augh here he goes again with the NBP...............LOL

 

ease off of the NBP kool aid

 

 

LOL - Careful......don't anger the pollen gods....lol

 

 

basically Dark is right... NBP is the way to go... now if you need a good man to show you how to drive that fine car, just let me know

 

During my time looking around on here and seeing your car..one of the nicest i have seen and I have once or twice over it but i other colors are nice too.. :wink: the third gen design is awesome all together..dont care for the red or green really but i dont see too many on here with that..

also, since I am not a rim expert here, what do you have on there..i thought they were aspec chrome but i am probably wrong..

 

[QUOTE=i picKed a winna]dont care for the red or green really but i dont see too many on here with that.. QUOTE]

Blasphemy! you bite your tongue! RRP & MRP FTW

 

Acura TL 2004+ FTW

 

oh man... you complimented dark LMAO, now hes gonna go crazy!!

 

 

Oh crap - don't worry maybe he won't see it.............

I bet he's out washing that thing anyway....lol.

 

LMAO

 

Washing that thing anyway... ...you complimented him... ...now he's gonna go crazy... ...


Nah...I'm cool fellas...seriously...no way am I gonna whore this thread...I am under control...I'm...I'm...The rims are OEM chromed...and the car is...

NBP!...It's gooood to be king!! Somebody cue my theme music!!

 

Dark, when you gonna come to WI man? lol

 

Wanna set Dark off?

Post some pics of hotter looking WDPs

 

 

both the WDP and the NBP are equally causing to me but I am sure that owners of each will not agree.. , especially both posted here..i am sure i'll be the same when I get whatever color I decide on

 

eh hem....

 

Until you have the black on black combo... aint nothin gonna spin your wheels faster!

 

.......................................

 

steve, your color doesnt belong in here lol

 

Sure it does - I live in RI and ASM belongs everywhere !!!!!

 

love your avatar by the way

 

so we are all thinking it (i hope), so im just gonna go head and ask it... are you as hot as the TL? lol... there arent TOO many females on this board... and having a TL gives you a 20% lead advantage than girls w/o TLs...

thats a rule.

 

well. I'll tell you why I picked WDP, and it wasnt just because its the hottest color out there and the girls love it. When I was trying to decide what color I wanted, it was dark out and the main color I noticed in the lot was the white which sorta popped out at me. I could see all the details and lines on the car, whereas most of the other colors sorta blended in. I also considered that from a safety perspective, I also think that white cars get into the fewest accidents because they are more noticable out of the corner of your eye, and especially at night.

I will warn you though, some of the drawbacks of white are the following:

need to pay careful attention to paint matching on the rear bumper vs body to make sure they match.
scratches into the plastic pieces will be more noticeable cause they'll be black
It's made me anal keeping this car spotless and shiny. She's gotta be shiny!

 

my thing is, white cars, by themselves, arent hot at all... but for cars like yours, leedog... that is hott, because you made it that way. whats nice about a NBP is that even if its not modded, it still looks good... but hey - thats just my thinking.... to each his own

 

Thanks an buddy did it for me !!

 

i am not single so you dont have to worry about it

i am your average girl, not model status

 

 

2nd gen TL's have immobilizers too. it's a little chip in the key that tells the immobilizer that it is the right key and to let the car start. it's an anti-theft device. you have to get the dealer to program the new key when you get it.
