My new 2012 TL Elite - Graphite Luster Metallic
Hi all,
I'm new to the site and thought I'd post some pictures of my new 2012 TL Elite (Canadian version of the Advance) in Graphite Luster Metallic.
I previously owned a 2000 EL Premium which I traded in for a 2007 Camry SE-V6. I then traded in the Camry to pick up the TL.
It's stock - I got the rear splash guards, protection package, and 45% tint on all windows (had 35% on the Camry and found it was too dark for my taste).
I don't plan on doing any mods to it other than getting the calipers painted black and possibly some debadging.
I'm looking forward to being a part of the forum.
Cheers.

I don't know the kind of tint as I didn't specify that to the dealer - I just said to throw in 45% tint all around and they used their own tint supplier.
The interior is the black leather.
I wanted a more elegant look vs sporty, and I think the 45% accomplished that.

Welcome CA, congrats on your new ride. Sooooo many people say the same thing as you-I don't plan on doing any/many mods. Heck, I said that too.
If you hang around here, that changes....

It is an interesting color. Dark grey, but not so dark that it is black.
Dupont has grey 2012's as 13%of the market.

It's funny how after you get a new vehicle, you notice them more often on the road. I've seen a fair number of 2012 TL's on my morning commute just this past week alone.

Congratulations and welcome back to Acura. I did not see many Gen 4 TL's on the road until 2012 models came out.

Congrats to you too! The graphite is really sharp - especially when detailed. Glad my pics helped. Would love to see some of yours too!

Happy Easter to all.
I just thought I'd post a few updated pics with recent mods. Next on my list is spacers (20/25mm).
Footwell lighting (blurry pic but you get the idea):
Painted calipers and rotor rings:
Front before:
Front after:
Rear before:

Rear roof spoiler:
