Coming back with 4G TL

Hi,

Finally, come back to here, i forgot my login password, and i lost my email account, so now come back with new account.

I just trade in my 07 wdp TL last week, to the 2012 TL tech package, with the forged silver metallic. And this color is cool, at first i dont real like it, but now with different lights, the color will look different. i have few photos, but i can't post photo yet. Only have 130km on it so far, and i like it. i still think my 07 wdp look better, but look at the new one more and more now and start to like it more. only thing that i don't like is the new rims.

I just love how Forged Silver changes colour according to the sunlight and surroundings. It's very unusual and beautiful!

Wing, I've merged your two threads together and moved them to the Photo Section. One comprehensive post is really what you want....

Cheers!

Thanks, Guys.

At first, i want to get a WDP again, but the saleman tell me they have a new color in stock, so we walk out to the lot to found it, when i first saw it, at about 7:00pm, and it looks blue grey to me, and i told him, is this real silver, and he say ya ya is silver, i am like ooo..kkk... but i think it looks odd, because, i have my 07 WDP TL, and i have the 10 MDX Elite also white. so i think this time i want to get something different, then i get this one. And i like it.

Planning to get the Ronjon Harrow for it, i want 19", but they only have 18" OR 20", so can't which one decide yet. Also i want the factory from underbody spoiler, looks good.

The TL eat's 20" like the 3rd Gen eat's 19". Here's a shot of the tire to see how much meat is on there with a 245/35/20:

I asked the dealer about the OEM front Lip, Canada has no listing yet, they say will try to find out for me. And i decide to go with the Ronjon Harrow 20", i will order them, when i know the info about the front Lip. The wheels will take about 2 weeks to get here.

Thanks!!

This is my original user name, finally found it. i will keep using this old one now.

Little update, i ordered the wheels and front Lip already, hopefully the wheels will be in about 2~3 weeks, the Front lip kit is on back order, but i put it on a critical order, hope will come sonner!

Too bad, my 20" Work wheels T1S off my 07, can not fit on the new one, otherwise i want to put them back on. And now i have to try to sell them.

Thank You Guys. Ya, is 10 MDX Elite, I love the it.

I changed my mind on the wheels, cause try to get the Ronjon from here, is so much work. I ordered the OEM 19" diamond cut wheels instead.

And here some little update with the fog lights. Enjoy@@ Iphone photo

wingt...i recently purchased the same 2012 FSM but had to order and install the splash guard separately. was yours pre-installed? if so, how does it match the FSM color? i checked the order/part numbers on mine and everything seems correct. however, the color does not have that blue tint on it. looks more gray. anyways, it still looks good on the car but just wondering. (perhaps i'm just color blind..hehe)

Conget on your new car!!! Same FSM
Mine are all pre-installed, and they do look little blue on them, matching the body color. Plastic and Metal painted parts, they always alittle off color matching for Acura. like my 07 WDP. But this FSM looks good.

The 07 TL, i return it to the dealer, and they sold my car within a week and made $9000 out of it. Cause my car is in showroom condition, and only had 29,000km on it.

As for 3M, I am always not interested, i never put any 3M on any of my vehicles. I work in Honda dealership, and i see lots of those 3M, or other bands, they all turn colors, unless you have to take care of it at least once a week, then will slow it down. But this is only my thought

Those lights are regular Nokya 2500k bulb. They are some extra parts sitting in my garage, so i try them on, and looks really bright and super yellow in person. Cause i am think about getting the HID 3000k, but i think this one will work for now
