TL fan finally turned driver. Thank God.

Hey guys just wanted to say wassup I'm new to the forum. I've always thought the 3g TL was by far one of the most beautiful cars ever made and now I finally have one. 2004 Anthracite w/nav and I cannot stop staring at it. Just because it's mine makes it look even hotter than normal. I'm in love, i feel like im flying a jet. Be ready for noob questions! haha

haha thanks for the love...here are some pics




I'll be taking more shortly! As far as what I have planned...first of all I needa get the navi fixed because it's got that error where it keeps resetting? When I bought the car from the dealer he told me after they replaced the battery the system asked for the code which they put in but ever since it just keeps rebooting...i tried holding those three buttons down (menu, cancel, and setup) or something like that to get to the diag screen and it's flashing on F-CAN and B-CAN but again I don't know too much about that... I read this post https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-audio-bluetooth-electronics-navigation-94/navigation-control-unit-failure-716502/ and realized that it should be sent in to alpine...but I bought an extended warranty from the dealer so I'll call in today and see if its covered...haha ok I'm done venting. We'll see what happens, I'll try to remain optimistic

Congratulations, welcome, and excellent choice in colors! Now, hold on to your wallet if you hang round here...you are likely to find all types of EXPENSIVE things to do to your car that you never imagined.

all i would do to that car is drop it lightly, clear the headlights out and A-spec lip kit and call it a day
and of course Intake just to get some kind of tone

Nice way to welcome a new board member....you might notice that these care are very difficult to photograph without the rear bumpers looking off (although some colors, namely WDP, have genuine color match issues).

I was just thinking the same thing when I read your post! Hahahah,
I have WDP and one of the first comments I had was about the mismatched bumper. For a day or two I though I had a rebuilt car or something but soon realized it's pretty common and these days I notice it on lots of other cars (not only TL's).

Welcome Surge21. I agree with the comment about adding the Aspec lip. Makes the car that much hotter! ENJOY

No wonder you feel like you are flying a jet, your garage is an airplane hanger! lol!

On a serious note, nice car, nice color and welcome to the forums!

congrats on the new ride I suggest you hide your credit cards since azine members have the habit of making people spend money on their cars. They even caught me!
