Hello! After finally finding the right TL for me and making a successful purchase I decided its probably time to stop stalking everyone's posts and instead say hi hahaha!
First off let me say thanks to many members on here who helped me collect the info I needed on my car! Speaking of which let me show her off since everyone loves pictures!
Pictures aren't the best with the reflections off the paint but haven't had time to bet better ones!
She's a '12 Elite auto sh-awd, CBP with umber interior, 40,000km! Bought locally in Calgary, AB from the original owner (for a pretty good deal I think) who seemed to take beautiful care of her!
Mods:
Completed: -19” Diamond Cut Rims (came with)
-Blizzak Winter Spares (came with)
-20% Back windows came tinted, I finished the front two
-Weathertech all floor + trunk matts (came with)
-Debadged
-Acura Body Kit (came with)
(Any user input for these? They seem to be the best out there)
-Switchbacks 6000K V3 TRITON WHITE AMBER SWITCHBACK 3157
-Fog Lights H11 MORIMOTO ELITE HID OR MORIMOTO LED ROUND
(Not sure what route i want to go with the fogs, whether its led or hid, and what kelvin, want to get as much light out of the car as i can, im used to a bigger truck with light bars on the back roads not a low car haha)
-Reverse Lights 5K VLED WHITE PLATINUM 15 LED 921
-Rear Window Spoiler “V Type” (ordered) ALL Color Painted V Type Acura TL 4th Rear Window Roof Spoiler Wing 09 13 Sedan | eBay
-Paint Front Grille and back trunk accent
(This seems to scare most of my local paint shops they think it will easily flake if anything hits it like rocks on the front or luggage on the back, and recommend against doing it however i think it just finishes the look of the car! Have one place that will do it for $300 off the car or $600 if they have to take it apart)
-Get headlights/taillights customized
-Tint rear red reflectors
Performance: -11225 Magnaflow Mufflers(ordered; may eventually upgrade to full catback but for now this is cost efficient and seemed to have pretty good turn out)
-CT Icebox (If i can find one!)
-RV6 HFPC
-RV6 Longtube J-Pipe
-K Tuner
(Not sure how far i want to go with performance upgrades, the gains seem to be debatable would like to feel just abit more kick when accelerating but don't want to make the cabin too loud that its annoying, these will probably be down the road when i start itching to spend more money and understand it better haha)
So that's that! My car, my plans and hopefully a proper hello! I look forward to gaining even more insight from you guys!
Congrats dude, found myself a 2012 as well with umber interior awd am so in love and same black. Just yours is the elite. Can't wait until I start adding some goodies. Good luck
I have the OSRAM CBI low beams. They are the best ones I'm aware of, and that's probably why the stock bulbs are OSRAM 66240 (4300K), so just be aware that mod is only going to make them a bit bluer and dimmer. I honestly can't tell the difference without another TL lit up beside mine.
