Picked up my new (to me) Acura TL
hey guys,
Just picked up my 05 Acura TL w/Navi on Mon. but havnt had the chance to post a pic. She is a bit dirty only bcuz I live close to the ocean so the breeze/wind just pick up dirt and dust. She has 97k miles. What do you think? Not sure how to upload a picture. Ill see if it works.
Just wanted to show everyone what I got. Have many plans for my TL in the future.
RRP/ Parch/ Navi
Acura OEM Chrome Rims. Plan to get Aspec wheels nd Aspec Kit once I have more money saved up.
Got inspected at Acura Dealer(my peace of mind) passed with flying colors, just needs Front and Rear Motor mounts are broken. :/

Thanks, and ive only seen like 2 base TL's in town. Other young people usually drive BMW 3 series, Infiniti G37 sedan or Lexus IS. but all are like black. So I guess I will stand out of the crowd. they can envy my car's color.

Thanks guys, I hope the motor mounts wont be a reoccurring issue. But first line of business is to get that major 105k service done before any modding can commence. cant have a IMO great looking car just parked in a driveway wit a kit on it, if it isnt mechanically sound
Can someone please give me a link to DIY for replacing the lightbulb in the steering and Heated seat buttons. Im kinda lost with how the SEARCH button pulls the info. Do i need specific words because Ive tried it, and pulled up like one DIY but doesnt have pictures, just a conv. about them.
Thnks
Most are conversations on the burnt light bulbs, I know there are hundreds but a helping hand would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone! I havnt had a chance to drive it to skuel since i just went home tht Mon. to pick it up. and want the maintenance work done first before I take it to San Diego. I really want to drive it, but i can patiently wait i guess.
Paid 13.7 OTD (taxes included). Originally asking $15k but manage to lower it significantly due to the major service coming up soon.
Very nice! Just curious how much you paid?

Dude, thts awesome, congrats tryin to find a low mileage Acura TL in Cali is kinda difficult, but way out of my price range. But I love my car man. The color stands out from the rest of the TL's. What are your plans for the car. MT isn't an option since I see alot of traffic.
