Don't regret your TL.....It is a very nice ride!! I like the pre MMC's ass better myself so you can't get it perfect I have about 20 months left in my TL as I will be getting the TL in April of 2014. Counting down the days....

I though buying the 2013 RDX would ease my itchiness.....this new car itch is worse than hemorrhoids!! Can't imagine the size of the tube I'd need to sooth my new car itch *lol*

Lawnpro....Thanks for the compliments....Not the greatest quality pics but enough to show the car/suv condition There is a single touch up spot on the front bumper and that is....not a single other touch paint required and want to keep it that way. Whoever gets this vehicle next spring is getting pretty much a brand new car.

kenstlshawd....Thanks for the kind words. Everyone that knows me here well enough will tell you that I am one of the most anal person you will find on this forum *lol*

Stew4HD....Much appreciate the comment Good thing I didn't pose in a speedo with the cars as I wouldn't know what your comment stood for *lmao*

The crazy thing is that you're leasing the TL and take care of it better then most people that bought their car.

^^ I have always been a fanatic about a clean car but that also extends in the home. I am one of those who has great pride of ownership....the yard is always well kept as well. Sometime I wished I was so particular but when it comes to the cars, its not a chore, its a passion and a hobby.

Nothing I enjoy more than washing the TL/RDX then bringing them inside, slap on the good country music and detail until the cows come home! Sip on a beer, just take my time. I am so looking forward to my detailing garage I am having built in the fall...that will be my new spot for washing/waxing my vehicles (both inside and out) at anytime of the year and will be equipped with everything a guy needs (including a scissor hydraulic lift to name a few of the toys). Oh the joy

I can totally relate to taking pride in ownership since i am pretty much the same....it is something few can relate to.

If i was in the market for a '12 i would take the trip to get your car

KarKraze...thanks for the compliment my fella Canadian Nice to see others can relate to my pride of ownership ... very few do.

BTW...Its hard to tell from your avatar but what year is yours? It looks like a cross between a 2011 and 2012? Front skirt of the pre MMC and grill of the post MMC. Am I mistaking?

Can't wait to mod!

I have been on many forums, but after reviewing some of the posts here and discussions overall, i would say this community is the best as far as people willing to help and divulging information to really assist one another. I am going to love Being a Ziner! ::Cheers:: guys!

No question about that!! I am really excited and looking forward to it. Its also going to mean that the 3rd wheels will also be sheltered from the element and won't have to fight with scraping windows and de-ice vehicles in the winter anymore. It will be a somewhat expensive project but one that will be providing major return and worth every penny

Too bad I don't have many fella Acuraziner close by that we could do detailing project with...

Nice pix Weather! Whoever is fortunate enough to get their hands on your car next should thank you for saving them a bunch of money versus buying new. You car is well taken care of.

Yours look amazing too!! I see you are New England....We need to get some Acura members for the northeast (and Eastern Canada) to meet in a greet. I see all these Meet and Greet all over the country and it seems we can never find any takers here....

I know New England is somewhat vague, how close to the Canadian border (Houlton, ME) are you?

I'm in southern New England, about 5-6 hours from Montreal. We should definately do a meet and greet for all the East Coast members or at least North East LOL. We just need to find a good organizer/coordinator who will volunteer and most importantly has the time. Or just spread the word and find enough members interested and then schedule an official Meet and Greet. I can assist in this.

Your car looks awesome! Now that I know what the car looks like with this set up, I might actually get a kit for my car! The thing that kept me away from getting the kit in the first place were those dang rear pieces that looked like they were just tacked on at the last minute.

Super clean!
I am not a fan of the rear underbody spoiler on the 2012 and up TL's. I have considering doing the same as you. I currently have the front spoiler and splash guards on my 2014 TL. I guess the side skirts will be next. Keep those great pics coming.

The new owner is getting one hell of a sweet car, lucky person.

I guess you are going for the TLX ? while i am not looking for another Acura i will take a look at the TLX,heck i might even be tempted to take it for a test drive.
Would love to see a twin turbo derivative.
