New Guy from Ohio

Hey AZ. Name is Matt. From Ohio and in December of 2012 I purchased an 04 WDP base model Acura TL. Not new to the Honda world but this is my first Acura. I have owned 6 96-00 civics and a 98 accord. After trading my 98 accord off for another 99 civic, I decided a small car wasn't something I wanted to daily drive anymore. Local car dealer had the TL Ive been wanting and I took the leap. 130k miles 1 owner car and with a warranty I was still below what they were going for on Craigslist. Justin or RU_JELLY as you all know him, referred me to this sight. Glad he did. AZ is the best forum Ive ever joined. Enough on me. Some pics of the car from purchase day to present.

The day I bought it.


2 days later windows are tinted.


Couple months later had some snow and bordem so decided to go take some pictures.






So far only mods are a cheap cold air, Tein drop springs, 18x8 Rota Tarmac and a Aspec kit on the way thanks to Justing (RU_JELLY) and Bruce. I'm sure you all know him. lol Looking forward to my stay here and meeting some of the other TL owners on here. And just for gits and shiggles here is a pic of my other toy.

Yes they ride great. I need shocks already. They aren't blown just a little clunky.
