My New 2005 Acura TL

So I've been wanting this car since I was 13. It all started when my uncle bought one from the dealership and I've always admired it when I went to his house.

What really made me love this car was the back and how the rectangular exhaust tips are moulded into the car. So after that I got a job and so after 4 years I finally got it.

I would but its a bit cloudy out right now, but I definitely will later. Ever since I got it I've been spending more time cleaning it than I have been driving it lol.

As for mods, the car is a bone stock manual with 90k miles. I would love to get some feedback from everyone as to what mods I should start out with. They might be on hold for a while because I live in Alberta, Canada and the winters here get kinda bad. I would like to get some Type S rims and such but for now all those are just thoughts.

Search the forum, you will find progress threads from other members. To your question about seeking advice, it really depends on what you want to do with your TL. You have things from intake, exhaust, suspension. Then you have exterior. It really just depends on what you want, what your budget is etc.

I believe there are members in your area as well, check the Region section.

I really appreciate your help on the forums as I just joined a few days ago. Wheels and exhaust most likely going to happen next spring and I was thinking about plastidip on the car. However, I'm in highschool right now(just turned 17) and I'm very very worried about jealous kids that might do something to the car if it attracts to much attention. Or maybe I could just be being extreme paranoid with this new car?

I have someone I live by and the dip on his looking really good. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eTzG-IhskVA/maxresdefault.jpg

Its a color changing gold and red mix, looks really cool. I might get some pictures of it If I ever see him in his garage.

Anyways, I'll definitely check out all the other parts of forums and see what they're about..thanks again for you help.

I wouldn't dip it. Leave it the way it is. Me personally I would rather wrap a car then dip it.

Congrats on the purchase. I also really fell in love with these cars while I was in high school. Now I'm on my 3rd TL and I still feel the same way about it.
