Can you give a pic of that or explain it a little better? I'm confused as to what you are talking about.
Thanks

I too thank you ron for posting that link. I don't come on here very often so I miss a lot of the neat stuff like that.
If you could post a pic that would be nice. Or maybe email it to me.
Thanks again.

Car looks great, except for that spoiler. I don't care much for it.
To each his own though.

1nicetl

What is there not to like?

wlfsmith

I don't post much but I have to tell you that those 20's look great. Any rubbing issues?

Will

1nicetl

They rub just s little bit in the rear. Right on the bottom where the bodykit bolts to the bumper that is all. Thanks for the props.

92NSX

I just think it breaks up the clean look of the top of the car. No reason to get offended. If you like it then that is all that matters. It is your car, not mine.

1nicetl

I'am not getting mad. It's all good.

That’s just wrong.... Hey I live at home, (No houses for rent by my job which is 1+ hour away.) but I just turned 20 last month and I gots an Acura TL w/ most the stuff everyone else has, body kit on its way, radar, intake ect.... I got no help from my parents and this my 3rd new car in 2 years... I had an 03 accord, 04 accord w/ navi v6 on both, and now Acura TL. (all financed, not leased.)

I work at an Cingular call center.

Age does not matter... I pay all my own bills, food and all....


This just says good things. Think about people like him and me, if we doing this good this young, wait till we are even older,

vp911

Thanks. I agree with you, it is simply wrong for anybody to make a statement like that.

madehtsobi & 1nicetl: mommy and daddy don't pay for luxury items like a car. Just to clear myself of any further annoyances - I have worked as a computer consultant to four web hosting firms for the last 5 years. I am a teacher at a local high school and I am a consult with a few other small businesses - IT work only. I have owned four cars in the past two years - 98 Civic, 04 TSX, 04 FX35 and the 05TL. Now that I am done explaining myself to you - I hope you don't question other people of a younger age group because of their financial situation. Some people are more fortunate than others - mommy and daddy may pay for their luxuries, or they may work their asses off to pay for their own stuff. It shouldn't matter. Besides we are all on A-TL for fun - not to question how we paid for our cars.

You've got one sick TL. I know you said you never go to meetings...but honestly you really need to bring your TL to a Jersey meet!!

Maybe you can show us "boys" how to drive as well!

madehtsobi

ok first of all i did not say ur mom and paid for anything

i just asked how can you afford all this stuff at an age of 19.....THAT'S ALL

vp911

I should appologize. I meant to direct the parents comment towards the other poster. Not you. I am sorry about that - I probably should have avoided making any comments; however, I have - and a couple other members on these boards have been sent PMs from people who want to harrass us about our young age. I hope you can accept my apology.

1nicetl

Ohhhhh come on. It was a little joke. Nothing to get offended by. That's good that you are doing all of that. I personally don't know any 19 year olds that hav all of that so to you. It's all good man don't get pissed about it. I'am not trying to flame you or anything like that.
