thanks guys!
nyczballa- i live 20 minutes from you right above new hav.

anyway yes i will love the car my brother has one and it is the best thing for the money. i like it better than the 09s! at least the outside

for 11650 with 4 brand new tires! i really cant get a better deal.
its worth so much more! the only thing i didnt get is nav
and it has some minor damage around lower rear fender. cost $400 to fix which i wil be doing right away.

im going to need some help with finding all the little stuff.
like do you guys know where i can get a good deal on new head lights?
thats always the first thing i replace because it really makes the car look brand new .
im going to also do the interior hyper white lights- ive seen them and in person they look really really nice.
what else are you guys modding the tl with?
id like to stay clean looking and nothing racey

Congrats and welcome For new headlights, why not contact JnC here, he clears headlights here and probably has some newish ones or you can get your current ones polished and probably modded (smoked, cleared, Carbon fiber, etc) from him too. If you like to be sporty, but don't want to spend to much money, the progress Rear Sway bar is probably one of the best investments. It makes the car so much better, its amazing.

thanks guys!
nice tints but yea hard to tell with that pic- tints are on the list
thanks for the heads up about JnC
rear sway bar- how does it make it handle?
is it more of a bumpy ride? i cant even imagine it getting better because for a sedan this thing whips around corners andd feels like its stuck to the road

Congrats.. that's definitely a good price. The car will last you forever since it only has 83k+ miles. As for navigation, you can always go aftermarket.

I would recommend swapping your stock 4300k low beams to something like 6000k or 8000k. Look for d2s bulbs, which range from 40-200. I personally have a vendor (www.lightwurkz.com) who sells them for $50.

From one AM TL owner in CT to another WELCOME!!

Check out my pics on here for mod ideas, and to see what my tints look like. I am looking to get my headlights done soon too. I am just not sure if I want to attempt it myself since it is starting to get cold here!

HEY THANKS

I do love these cars as well to. Ive been a diehard fan of HONDA for a long time. ACURA is the best car purchase anyone could make, i say it all the time.
Anyone wanta buy a 2000 Lin LS? lol no- i wouldnt sell that car to any of you guys. a real nice car but american- ill never do that again. first and last time.

CarrieLynn Id love to see your pics- but i cant.
Thats the one thing that sucks about this site- I have to wait two weeks before seeing anyones pics? sucks.

But what i can see looks really good. nice TL. i really do want to see them since i have that same color. maybe you could email some to me?
