Proud owner of a CGP '07 Acura TL

Sup Acura Zine.

So I recently picked up a 2007 CGP TL with about 60k miles.

I must say I'm overall impressed with this car. The interior is awesome, the outside looks great, and it handles pretty well. I did not expect anything less from Acura. My most recent vehicle was An Acura Type S, and prior to that I had a TSX. Both cars were awesome!
So far I ordered the type S truck decklid and also the OEM Tl Deck lid. I found the type S one after ordering the OEM one. So I'll be returning the OEM non type S one.
Also I ordered the ASPEC Lip Kit and Oem door visors. and currently waiting for the release of the XLR8 coilovers. I'm unsure about the rims. I'm looking to leave the engine stock.

Here's some pictures! lmk what you guys think.








And this was my most recent car!

BLEU TSX on DECK.....Congrats on your TL and welcome to Acurazine!! I love the 3G TL style and one of those car that just ages very well. I am sure you are going to have years and years of enjoyment of this car. I really like the bluish cluster of that 3rd gen.

That's the beauty of having a digital camera. Don't like the pictures? Edit or delete them.

One tip I would like to give you is to take TONS of pictures. Even if you don't like the angle of how you're shooting or the light or whatever, sometimes those pictures turn out the best once you get them on the computer.

For every 10 or 15 pictures I post here on Acurazine, I take between 75 and 100. Once those are put onto my computer, I go through and find the ones I like the most.

Sweet, I will definitely take your advice.. I actually purchased a book to teach me the basics. I grasp things pretty quickly. I purchased it because of my kids, they're still little and I'm trying to capture all the precious moments for memorable purposes. Here's 1 I took of my daughter and I absolutely adore how it came out.

She's turning two in a few weeks.

She's really cute! I plan on keeping my camera long after I have kids and they grow up. Even if I get bored of the lenses I use, I can always swap those out and use the same camera body.

Nice camera pick-up. I was waiting for the Canon T4i to come out before I upgrade. I'm thinking about a new iPad though....I don't have one and the new one looks tempting.

Thank you sir! And yes, you are going to need a good camera for those moments. Trust me, a camera phone just doesn't cut it for me. For the first two years of my daughters life I used a regular point and shoot or the infamous camera phone and I kick myself every day for not getting one sooner. Lenses are always upgradable, so you should be good with what you have for a nice long time.

Honestly, I did a lot of research and have come to the conclusion that whenever Cannon releases a new camera the difference between the prior one, is not so significant. For example the T2i, T3 and T3i on a comparison scale they're not too far apart.

I haven't had the chance to check out the new ipad, I definitely want one as well but I have to finish modding the TL before I pick one up, which I'm almost done. The ipad can wait. Spring and Honda Day is right around the corner. lol

I kinda wanted to say the same thing. It all depends on what he wants to do. I personally can make more use of the DSLR than an ipad. but thats just me.

I'm on the G37 forum trying to find out. They're 18 inch rims but def not g37 rims. The guy I bought them from said they were and stupid me, went with it and bought it. They look good anyhow but my intentions was to get the G37 rims.

Someone confirmed these are the G37 rims off the all wheel drive version of 2011-2012. However, my intentions were to buy the 19's sports one.
