New owner

Hello all,

I just purchased a 2012 TL SH-AWD Tech in BWP this past Thursday.... Love it! This is my first Acura and probably not my last. I seem to go through cars pretty fast (10 in 9 years) and hope to keep this one for a while.

Coming from a 2011 Subaru STi sedan (modded) I feel the need to start working on this one.... but where to start? Getting the windows done tomorrow morning and have been looking at getting some new wheels. 20" Rohana RC10's to be exact. I think I might have to go with a coil over set up to get it just right. Looking for that "concave" look.

Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I go through cars fast too - 40 in the past 14 years. ;-) Most of them have been Hondas and Acuras. You'll definitely be hooked.

Love me some Honda. :-P

I just picked up a TL SH-AWD yesterday in NC. I love it so far (only 75 miles on it), and think this could be almost the perfect car for me.

Re cost, I got mine for $4900 off retail. They put on the $530 convenience package (they put it on all of them), so I didn't argue too much, given the discount I got. $43,880 is retail.

Congrats.

Go and get some super sticky summer tires together with your 20"s. The OEM tires are very crappy.

A-10Wingman, are you an A-10 pilot ? How did it feel blowing up real battle tanks and enemy artilleries from the air ?

I'm a new owner too!

I just picked up my brand new 2012 6MT graphite luster yesterday. Paid almost exactly what you did. Studying the owner's manual as if I were studying for the SATs!

Will post some pictures after I detail it.
