New to the Forum / Saying hello / progress thread / attempt #2

Had trouble with my first progress thread: so I thought I would try again:

Hello everyone, my name is John and I just wanted to introduce myself. Been lurking around and finally decided to snap some pictures and start my introduction/progress page.

I just recently purchased a 2007 Acura TL Type S in NHBP. I was pretty fortunate to come across this car. An older lady down in Arkansas recently lost her job and put it up for sale. Single owner, every receipt for every service record and only 52000 miles. Talked her down to 17000 because I had cash in hand. Luckiest guy ever. However I do wish it was a 6 spd manual but I can't complain.

Aspec Kit already on order.
Super Red Tails on order from AckTL05
Door Visors on order.

Will probably do exhaust and drop sometime in the near future. KS roads aren't exactly the best.

well, here she is:














And after she was buffed and waxed and sealed, decided to take a selfie



Thanks for looking and looking forward to meeting some of y'all someday!

Thanks, ya, I was pretty lucky. She was nice enough to hold it for me for a week so I could drive down there and take a look at it.

Welcome to the forum. Car looks in great shape.
Thanks for the theme music. At least we have another thing in common with our hatred of this song. And it was in wonderful shape. The exterior just needed a little loving and she looked brand new.

Thanks! And I'm pretty excited to put them on! And I dabble here and there in photography. Just a side hobby of mine. No where as good as some of the pictures I've seen on acurazine.

I completely agree. I can't wait to put everything on. There is only one other TL in town that has the full kit.
