I got it a week or so ago and I havent had a camera to take any pics... finally used an old Kodak digital camera to take some pics today. Sorry about the quality, but this is until I can get my hand on a good camera. It could use a wash and wax but its still kinda chilly here in Philly for all that.

I'll be getting type-s tails, and tint next week... and I got my switchblade key on order. The car came with the Ipod adapter so I didnt have to worry about that, I think that'll be it as far as any mods for a while then maybe some wheels in 6 months or so.

I cant figure why the color of my interior wont show up in the pictures... it looks so light on the pictures, but its actually Camel and looks so good... like dark peanut butter

I know everyone has seen 100 stock 3rd Gen's but I figured what the....

 

Nice car. Be careful how close you park to curbs though I see you are almost touching it. These tires offer no rim protection and youm will end up with lots of damage if you are not careful.

 

Potential victim of curbage
Congrats on the new ride ...

 

Congrats!!! Your patient payed off. Where did you wind up getting it from? Whose doing your tint? I'm looking to do the back half this spring.

 

congrats!!
now time to spend some bucks... lol

 

i think by getting the car, he already took care of that :P

but i know what ur getting at

 

well I was going to ask if you could possibly park any closer to the curb but since 2 other people have mentioned it....

Anyways nice car, time for mods!

 

Nice car, Congratz, say bye bye bank account

 

Wow. I am cringing looking at the pictures. Please please don't park so close to the curb! Car looks great. Good luck.

 

Madd precision parking skills or pure luck???

 

lol.. I was cringing like everyone else..

 

almost touching nothing, that bad boy is up against the curb, not a chance he didnt take on some curb rash on the tires and or rims...some people are like that and dont care...

what is that thing on your steering wheel...

 

Curb rash gotta be careful man I park like a foot off the curb always lol

 

Im getting it done in South Philly, same guys that have done every other car that I've had. $200 and im supplying the moleskin.


As far as the curb rash, Im not too concerned about it. Its a pet peeve of mine parking a foot away from the curb, I think truly good parkers can park without worrying about hitting it.

 

whatever....

 

???

 

congrats on your purchase Car looks really nice and clean. It appears that the modding bug has bitten you already, trust me that won't be the end of it.

 

weren't you the guy from Philly who was lookin for a WDP a few weeks ago?

where in S Philly is the tint place? I've been lookin to get 35 in the front and 20 in the back...but don't really know where to go.

 

Really nice. My 1 tl looked the same

 

Yeah I was. And then I test drove this car and it was a wrap. I think it was the interior that closed the deal, I love the camel color.


I dont really know the name of the place. If you take 76 and get off at the South street exit, its the first right you come to after crossing the bridge, i think its like bambridge street or something but dont quote me on the street name. They have tinted the last 5 cars that I've owned. Absolutely perfect. They dont use moleskin though but will put it on if you bring it, so I ordered some last week. They quoted me $200, If you want the number PM me and I'll give it to you.

I want to get 20% but I work in a township where the Police need something to do, and I dont really wanna be the object of their attention everyday. Im leaning towards 35% but I wanna see how it looks on a NBP before I say for sure.

 

Nice car; like the color combo. One question, what's up with the steering wheel cover? I know people want a thicker wheel, but....

 

I'm only 27 but I have the early stages of arthritis in my hands so after working at a bank counting money and typing all day my hands hurt just to grip the wheel, so the thicker the wheel, the looser I can grip the wheel. I know it doesn't look aesthetically the best but its functional for my situation

 

it was a comment on your pet peeve and how skilled you are at parking that you dont have to worry about curb rash....

 

welcome o Acura Zine how many miles on that beauty?

 

From a native philly guy now living in Sunny FL, welcome and congrats on your car - my 08 is WDP/Camel. The interior color is great but its hard to keep clean - invest now in some Lexol. This is a great forum to receive all kinds of info and ways to spend your money on mods if you're into that.

 

nice combo with the black exterior and tan interior! I got the same thing and love it!

 

I was clearly being facetious... but I guess there's a douche bag in every bunch, why not just go past the thread if you have nothing to bring to the table other than being a smartass, why be "that" guy??

 

60k miles...


I've actually been around for some time, I had an 01 NBP TL that I traded in when I got this one, so Im new to the 3rd gen forum but I've been on Azine for a while.



Thanks for all of the love guys... I'll be posting pics of my tint, tails and sidemarkers next week.

 

no reason to be offensive.. you posting pics of your new TL on / near the curb is almost AZ sacrilegious and definitely offensive . It made all of us cringe.. then commenting on how good drivers can park close and not rub.. I'd like to see closeups of those rims.. because turning in or out I can't see how you couldn't rub. Try to keep it mellow.. and congrats on the 3G.. treat her nice or else you'll piss us off.. lol..

 

Facetious =

1 : joking or jesting often inappropriately : waggish <just being facetious>
2 : meant to be humorous or funny : not serious <a facetious remark>


It's clear that Im touching the curb so I didnt think I had to say I was joking about my "parking skills" when you can clearly see that Im parked a centimeter from the curb lol...

Sorry if anyone was offended.

 

curb them some more and get some new rims

 

Thats the plan lol...

 

U and P, nice purchase !! The NBP is always a classy choice and the parchment interior is an awesome combination.

 

nice... welcome, and dont park 2 close to the curb, dats a no no 4 rims

 

You can sell your rims on the AZ black market if you decide to get new wheels. You could fix the curb rash.. throw some duplicolor and clear on those babies and maybe break even on a new pair of wheels.. just a suggestion.

 

yeah your right on that curb

time to start modding..

 

Im really mulling over if I should paint the stockies gunmeatal like I've seen some people do on Azine but i dont know what it'll look like on my car, but thats how my brain's working until I buy new wheels...

 

Not if your gonna continue to park like that.

 

Ok... can we leave the parking alone? Does it bother everyone that much where I park "my" car... Im here to share some experiences and learn some things from a lot of you guys that have been here for a while, but damn.... I parked next to the curb. I parked very very very close to the curb. Cool everyone?

 

talk about raging, calm down duuuuuuuuuuuude
