Smile New to Acurazine..2010 SH-AWD TL

Hey everyone!

I'm new on this forum.

I've been browsing as a guest for years and finally signed up!

I just purchased a certified 2010 TL SH-AWD w/ Tech & 18 inch wheels.

I bought it with 39,500 miles. Crystal Black Pearl/Ebony.

3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film Installed to Front End & Mirrors by Ztech (http://www.ztechnaperville.com/)

It is one of the best cars I've ever owned..Acura really makes a great car.

After the tranny quit on my 2000TL 3.2 i knew it was time to upgrade.
(worst part is tranny was replaced by dealer in 2005

Now all I want is the front & rear big break kit from stop tech. (black calipers of course)

Glad to be here all

thanks i paid $600 for the entire front end as well as both mirrors.

I am on a road trip with her right now & that clear bra really has stopped a lot of dings.

(you will see white spots where rocks hit the clear)

great investment especially on a black whip!

thanks everyone! very glad to be here

& just a heads up i'm a car girl lol

but can anyone recommend a nice wax that would work well?

i know the dealer had mentioned he had used a wax with actual black paint in it..

thanks in advance.

the car so far has performed great.

i am on vacation right now and took the car up the mt. washington auto road.

the car shot up that mountain with no issues. the ride down wasn't so fun :/

the breaks were smokin! it's okay.. looking into a big brake upgrade from stop tech..

The paddle shifters definitely help with that. I use em all the time, but given Honda's track record with transmissions I'm just hoping I'm not wearing it out just to save a few brake pads lol
