New Here w/ New TL

Just picked up an 08' TL in Black with blue metallic in it (which color code is this?) High mileage at 80k which came out to 25k a year from when he bought it but im not worried about that as it was highway miles and these Acuras last a long time im sure. So far i love the car and cant wait to get some mods in it!

Navi> Color Interior, but thats just me and I don't think tan looks half bad.

But congrats!! I have a NBP and love it. Highly recommend tinting your windows

NBP (Nighthawk Black Pearl). Congrats and welcome to AZ. Register her at www.myacura.com. Save your radio code there for safe keeping.

if you ever decide to unhook the battery....
you'll need the radio code and nav code(if applicable) in order to get the radio and nav to work.
the radio will display "CODE" on the sub display. you then use the radio presets to enter in the radio code.
the radio code can be found in the black leather binder that comes with the manual.
sometimes the radio code sticker can be found in the glove compartment stickied to the side.

Welcome aboard nice TL. I believe parasurfer was asking that question because of the lack of tint in the front....

I think cars look cheesy with tint in the back and no tint or a lighter tint in the front.

it should be all uniformed. 35% all around.
Classy.

The percentage is how much light is allowed through. So 5% means darker and only 5% light getting in.

Car looks good! And 30% is plenty dark for most people. I'd do that or whatever matches your tint asap. Navi ftw though
