Hello Acura TL community!

This Thursday I picked up my "first new car" - 07 TL Auto
Had a Jeep and a 91 Accord before this but im 20years old and this is by far the nicest thing I have ever owned and will be in the decade to come with all the mods I wanna do running through my head right now.

So just wanted to stop by and start my post count so I can be a member of this forum - just by reviewing some posts I have read i know i will have a lot of good advice at my finger tips.

Forgot to mention that it only has 40700 miles - and had 2 owners BEFORE me. Was doing so much research the past 3 months and within a 50mile radius of where I live in NJ - had the 4th lowest mileage - 1st through 3rd had only 5k less miles but was priced $4000 - $5000 more. Was too good of a deal to pass up so I finally pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier

Yes forgot to mention the WDP paint - which might be my personal favorite for this TL, the Kinetic Blue Pearl and Nighthawk Black Pearl are close though IMO

Congrats! Looking forward to your futures. I believe I saw that wdp online while browsing. & Is it me or is there condensation in your headlights?

Yeah thats condensation in both. Only thing that bugs me about the TL. But instead of putting money into replacing headlights that work imma get tints first than later an aspec kit and of course a whole list of things down the road

You could just get them modified and resealed properly or do it yourself

Congrats dude!

Welcome to the WDP club. We are definitely the best color on the site. Except for maybe MRP and KBP. Sometimes, CBP. Also, possibly NBP, or ASM.

....anyway. Welcome! Enjoy your wise choice!

Congrats on the new whip. you're gonna love it. Searching for that new car once you make up your mind on what you want blows. I searched for probably a solid week on autotrader, cars.com, and craigslist. My eyes would be on fire and I was starting to get angry because i didn't wanna just settle for a car. Checked out some that weren't worth it. Finally found the one right up the street from my work. I really regret not getting black or white but owning black my whole life it'll be nice to not have to wash my car all the time to have it stay clean. lol. Welcome to the board.
