there is someone on here that just picked up a TL and did a bunch of mods (rims, dropped, tints, and a bunch of other stuff) within a day or two of picking it up from the dealer. he just posted a thread a few days ago.

now that's a record! lol

Thanks guys, I traded in an 05 Hybrid Accord.. Just fyi, if you buy a v6 hybrid thinking of getting good gas mileage, don't.. I was only getting about 25 mpg and the best I did ws 32 on a trip to the beach.. I could do that in my TL or in a regular accord v6.. Waste of the extra 3 grand is what I say...

I just picked up this used 2004 on Saturday. It only has 15,600 miles on it. I was dead set on an 03 Type-S until I took a 3G TL on a test drive. No regrets!!! I'm hoping to tint the windows soon and pick up the USA Spec iPod adapter.

Welcome ocwill1 !!

Good looking ride ... I'm guessing since you started to mod your car already ... that you will catch up to us fast! I had a ton of stuff done before I even got my temp tags off as well!

You should come to this meet here next to the I-270 and 495 intersection if you live anywhere near there THIS Saturday to get ideas for the ride!! - CLICK HERE

Congrats Ocwill1! I have to say, I love your taste in cars...seeing as I have a RBP 6MT w/ Nav as well. Sweet. Did you have a hard time finding it? I live in Huntington Beach, CA, and there are only 2 cars with those specs on the west coast. I own one, the other is at the very evil Keyes Acura in LA. I had a very hard time finding my car, but thankfully Valencia Acura had mine.
I'm happy to hear my car has a twin sibling on the east siiiiiide.

Some on here were trying to determine a realistic street price for a '04 like yours. Does your have NAVI or not? Did you buy it from a Dealer or an individual? Any (if you don't mind) what did you pay for it (A $500 range of price would be good if you don't want to be specific). Thanks in advance for the details.

Actually, I wanted the silver w/black interior, but the one they had did not have navi.. My choices were the silver and then the blue, so I went with the blue.. I got a better deal by taking one in stock.. I am probably going to be better off with the gray interior than the black anyway...

No problem. Unfortunately, mine does not have navigation. I got it from a BMW dealership in the Chicago burbs for just under $26k. It does have a couple of deep scratches on the hood that look like they were fixed by an amatuer. Luckily they aren't all that noticable. But other than that, the interior is immaculate, tires have plenty of tread life left, and it rides very smooth.

Hope this helps.
