Proud new owner: 2012 TL SH-AWD Elite!

Hey everyone!!!

So I've been in the market for a few months now and was looking at all sorts of cars. Jumped onto this forum and have been lurking for a few months and realized I wanted to join the Acura family. So I picked up a 2012 "Alabaster Silver Metallic" Elite with 40k KM.

Coming from a base model 2006 Grand Prix, this is a big upgrade for me. Just picked her up today and already have some plans for the future (tints, exhaust, sound system, rims etc.) Had it for a little less than a day but I'm in LOVE with it already!!

Beautiful car. Wheels sold me on this version. So they call it an "Elite"? It's an "Advance" here.

Yeah the wheels plus the cooled seats, I couldn't resist! And Yup they call it elite in Canada, I think the paint colour name is also different

Quick question, how would I access the oil life monitor? I don't see it when I press in the info button on the steering wheel, I tried holding it down for a while and still nothing

Thanks everyone!!

Well, its been exactly two weeks, time to start modding! Went to my local tint shop today and put on 15% all round ceramic tint plus tail light and marker tints. Also bought some LED license plate lights from VLEDS, just waiting for it to arrive!
