TegoTL's Canadian ASM TL Progress Thread

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to the Acurazine.com community! Bought my '08 TL with Tech Package about 3 weeks ago and I love it!!! It's pretty much stock right now other than the rear TL smoked sidemarkers, and converted my interior lighting to blue LED's. Been lurking a lot and it looks like my bank account is going to hate me...haha!!!










Just wanted to point out as well, not new to the car scene.

1999 Honda Civic


2004 Acura RSX




2003 Toyota 4Runner


2005 Toyota Tacoma


2006 Toyota Tacoma XRunner

How many tints do you have on the TL? It looks dark.

20% tint all around.

Thanks for the welcome guys! I regret selling my DC5! There's so much I want to do. Saving my pennies for the A-SPec lip kit, just debating whether I want the Type S rear lip for future quad ATLP exhaust.

You don't know what a money pit is until you own a EVO or an STI, performance doesn't come cheap.

I'm digging the yotas! I was on Yotatech for 6 years and every time I see a lifted 3rd Gen I miss mine especially since it looked better than any around here.
