Loyal Acura Owner and now loyal Lexus owner
This forum has been very informational for me over the past few years.. Haven't really posted much but have been lurking to see what inspires me. My very first Acura was a 2002 TL-S. Bought this thing bone stock and knew that stock wasn't the way to go..

Then I found an 04 TL 6mt that I couldn't refuse.. The mod bug hit me again

Now I still have the 2002 TL-S but also picked this baby up.. Of course I could never drive that stock so I had to do a little bit of modifications .

You know I kind of wish Lexus offered a 6 speed is350 instead of just in the 250s.

Perhaps the most disappointing thing ever. They would sell many more IS350 if they offered it in 6MT.

Lexus is really shaping up now, I test drove the new GS-F sport before purchasing my A6 and that thing handled nicely....pretty much the same as my old 5 series. However for what it is, its too expensive, with F sport it was going to cost around $56k.....rather buy a CPO 11 550i or something. But nice to see Lexus shape up, now only if Acura could do the same .

Thank you all for the compliments. This car is pretty much a boat but boy it feels like your driving on a cloud.. My 04 TL 6mt was much more fun to drive.
