Wink Waited for one hour......

One hour I waited for my wife at her doctor today. In that time, I spent 3/4 hour (Not kidding 45 min.) talking to 3 car nut's. OH yea!! These guys just walked up and stated "WOW I LOVE YOUR CAR MAN!!" Only one knew It was a ACURA.

The vote was YES to my TL. I had the trunk to the hood open three times! Big hits were aftermarket stuff. Blue LED's,Pro Cats,SS custom pipes. And on it went. I tell you what, I felt like a million bucks as I drove away. Telling the wife "See It's not just ME!!"

Nice spec you got there! I read your signature to see what you got on it. I bet that A-Spec kit looks awesome on the black too. i also got a black TL 6MT but it's bone stock. Still looks damn good.

You're not going to like this, forgive me, but it's nice to see another "old" guy who's into his car!

yeah, but do you have tints and a body kit and all the mods he has listed? tints, a body kit, and LEDs all together will automatically draw some attention and all the other mods he has make the car even more sweet... If you do have a few noticable mods, then that's something different

Absolutely! I have a 6MT NBP/Ebony and it attracts lots of attention and looks. When it's clean, and winter makes it hard to do so, but I try, it really gets compliments! And that's without me having it tinted yet! I have the chromed stock wheels, body kit, and rear decklid for right now, and at night when I get out the car, people see the blue leds I installed and there are more compliments. (even the dealership when I go there loves the car!) Next week I will have the 07 TL-S tails and the headlights cleared and blacked! I definitely know she will get some head turning then! Next month, time to change that grill!!! So yeah, aesthetics make a difference and this is being in an area where there are MANY TL owners! I mean MANY!

Besides, I look like people can talk to me, so that probably helps. If you look weird, they may like the car, but not want to say anything to you. LOL!

All that I've gotten was some guy telling me to be careful with my car as I was driving off after donating books at the goodwill and some lady in her 40s asking what kind of car I had and then she told me that it's "awesome" lol

pnoi521, you on learner's permit? Dang.. that's a nice car for a 16 year olds.


I got compliments from my boss and co-employees at work. One of them dropped their jaws when looking at the inside, with that huge NAVI and luxurious stylish black interior.

So he told my manager I got a new car and we all went out in the parking lot and showed my pretty black TL. They were like....

hahaha... yeah... there are definitely a lot of TLs around here...

by the way, I think I might've seen you on 495 today on the outer loop near river road... if that wasn't you, then it was some other beautiful, clean NBP with a body kit that looks a whole lot like yours... I was driving in the loaner MDX I have right now (damn thing doesn't have a working radio or navi because I keep forgetting the lights don't turn off automatically... lol) was that you?

Nah, it wasn't me, but I'm down there all the time because I work in Bethesda! I know it wasn't me that time because I was only up my end Sunday.

The amount of TLs around here is crazy! But that just shows that people love this car! Including me!

haha... this is true... but the number of TLs with body kits is a lot smaller, which is why I was hoping I might've had my first member sighting oh well... haha... we should meet up sometime if you're in Bethesda that often...


hey spiritman, I'll bet I can make it past 55... come to me in 34 years and we'll settle it

Yeah, I've noticed that! I wonder why the hell that is? They need to become a member huh? Get their ride pimped! LOL! I can't wait for me to do everything I want to do to mine! Badass! Just damn badass!!

Oh yeah SpeedbawlinTL...my plate says "CUWNICU"! Only I have that! Holla if ya see me!

Spiritman, in the DC/MD/VA area, the majority of the TL owners are middle-aged. So you have a lot of company man! Are you gonna take SpeedbawlinTL up on his bet? That's one helluva wager! LOL!
