I had purchased my baby, 2004 Acura TL ABP with 54,xxx miles a few months ago from an auction in Jersey.

I love the car and couldn't be happier. It is about that time to start the modding process and drain the wallet a little more though.

Pics will be up later today. I want to make a before and after thread.



I know the picture came out small, not sure the best way to post pics on this site, any help would be appreciated!

 

Congrats!

Personally I use Photobucket to host my pictures. I upload them and resize them to 800x600 then using the [IMG] [/IMG] codes given, I post the picture here on Acurazine. Hope that helps

 

Welcome.

I too use photobucket to host my pics.

 

thanks fellas. will get some more pics up asap. tips and mod suggestions greatly appreciated and welcomed! excited to get some feedback.

 

Well the first thing I did to my TL was get the windows tinted.

After that I debadged the rear, taking the Acura and TL emblems off, and then I got an intake. After all of that, my "hobby" soon became an obsession and I've been draining my bank accounts since. Hold onto your wallet

 

Welcome, did you go to Manheim? And what was the or price out the door?

 

haha yea i have actually been contemplating the tints as I REALLY need them but a lot of people say that once you do it your radio is gone because of the antenna being in the rear windshield.

is this a problem with yours?

indeed my friend. luckily I had an in, my whole family got their cars there due to a family friend in the business. The hammer dropped (along with my heart) at 12,300. I was in love ever since.

 

I think i paid around 12k last year for my 2005 navi with 83k. It's funny because it was my first trip there and i was looking for a g35x or TL. I happened to find mine, the exterior was in immaculate condition. So i just went with it. I got lucky because most people go to the auction a few times before they find a car. Haha.

 

Sonic, welcome to Acurazine and congrats on your new TL purchase. Just so you know-there is a multi-post icon in the lower right hand corner (the middle icon) of each post. You can use this to respond to more than one member.


Enjoy!

You can see I got rid of the horrific golden pinstripe going across the car. was so glad to see that it peeled off. what a relief!

 

Congrats!

 

congrats, and like Tyler said hold on to your wallet. Or dont let the mod bug bite you too hard.

 

Congrats and welcome!

 

I listen to the radio every morning on the way to class and I don't have a problem whatsoever

 

Congrats.

 

congrats and welcome.. what are you plannig on doing first.. this color looks good when clean

 

hmmm, possibly could be because of the darkness of tints? im not sure but im definitely going to be getting them done. what percent is your tints all the way round?

I love the color when clean, and I always try and keep my car fresh :P but im in the process of ordering the tl-s trunklid spoiler and a rear roofdeck spoiler both in ABP. I ordered 8000k HIDs off ebay the other day too so those should be arriving soon.

Im not really sure what is next. I am looking into rims at the moment and possibly the A-spec body kit because I have some nicks in my bumper from the winter snow. accidentally backed up into a snow mound and that ice is deadly on the bumper.

Think I should go with a body kit to cover up the marks or touch up paint? thankfully the kit will definitely cover it up because its just below the line on the rear bumper. what is your opinions on touch up paint on bumpers? too tacky?

 

congratz and welcome ... nice color

 

Congrats and welome aboard!

 

some more updated pictures. NEWLY INSTALLED: 8000k HID headlights, LED's: Interior- DOME LIGHTS(BLUE), DOOR LIGHTS(BLUE), REAR READING LIGHTS(BLUE) Exterior- License Plate Lights(Natural White).

still awaiting my rear roof spoiler and rear decklid spoiler to come.
