Just put them in your album in your profile or upload them on flickr, photobucket. then right click select "copy image URL". In your post click on the picture next to the globe it says "insert image". delete the http in there and paste what you copied in the box. hit ok and your done.

Congrats!

I am soooo jealous.. It'll be sometime next week, at the earliest! Gotta love it.

RedHOT

pics or it didn't happen!!! did you get it for 41k like they said?

Treblig

Thanks,

Always had trouble with this given the few pics that I have posted over those 1400 posts. Still having trouble. But here are the links to the pics. These are "before shots" (taken with my phone). I didn't pick the car up today as I am still waiting for the add-ons (bodyside mouldings, door edge film, splash guards and tire swap) Should be all mine on Monday.

Will post "after shots" taken with a better camera.

Looks really nice. Grats!

Acura always seems to have awesome white paint.

Treblig

Thanks, I'm really pleased with combo. Can't wait to take her home!

Stew4HD

Hey, that's my car!!! Sweet!

HOT, HOT, HOT! Congrats on your new baby!

Treblig

Thanks. Can't wait to take her home

Stew4HD

When do you get to take her home?

JM2010 SH-AWD

Congrats. Beautiful car. You are going to love the SH-AWD!!!

(I made an even bigger leap than you - from my beloved '92 Legend Coupe to my TL. Needless to say, Acura has improved the product in the last 18 years!!)

Congrats! It looks great.

Do you find the 19" wheels make the ride harsher than the 18"?

Stew4HD

That one inch doesn't change ride much at all. That is actually 1/2 inch of sidewall.

Treblig

Monday the add-ons will be done and Tuesday the tires will be done. Not sure I can wait till Tuesday, so I may pick her up on Monday and take her back on Tuesday.

Already do. I traded a 2006 RL for the TL

Appreciate that.

I can't really say. I had 19's on my RL with the A-Spec suspension and loved the ride. And that was coming from 17's.

prepreludesh

There you go buddy. When you take more pictures of the interior *cough* then send em to me.

Treblig

Thanks again! (How do you do that! !) Plenty of new pics next week

Stew4HD

He used photobucket.com. You just save the IMG link from the pic on their site to this page

Treblig

I'll work on it.

Stew, let me just say, your gonna love it when yours comes in!!!!

prepreludesh

Describe what makes the bellanova white different from white diamond pearl. Is it more or less yellow? Are the bumpers and sheet metal more closely matched?

Also, I'll put together a pictorial on how to save pictures on photo bucket and then attach them on a thread in a little bit.

Otherwise, congratulations on the new car! I'd secretly love to get one, but I like my manual and the only thing I really like on the new one is the aerodynamic efficiency and vented seats. Oh, and I like the 19s on it! Wish I would've sprung for the hpt package on my '10

Treblig

The Bellanova "appears" to be slightly whiter, but that could have just been the new car excitement sparkle in my eyes. In the light that I saw the car the color of the bumpers and the body matched pretty wheel, but that was in the shadows of the building and inside the service bay. I'll know better once I can see her in different lighting situations.

Thanks on that pictorial. I tried youtube but.... well, you see I still haven't posted pics!

The wheels are really nice and they add a lot to the looks of the car.

jasonwdp10

I went to look at TLs the other day and test drove a base model (were still prepping the SHAWD models when i was there so couldn't drive it)

I drove a white one and then parked it next to my car afterwards. The newer model is definitely whiter, it's probably closer to the lexus IS white (forgot which one). There is still a slight glimmer to it, but it lost the "ivory" or off white color, it's closer to pure white.

ostrich

Jason is absolutely correct with his descriptions. When I first saw the Bellanova White colour, I was annoyed that the beautiful WDP was no longer in production, but then the more I see BW the more I like it. It really suits the current style of the 4.5G TL.

Just out of curiosity, is that Hubler Acura?

New2Acura2

Whoa! That looks awesome. Can't wait to see the interior.

Stew4HD

All this waiting has really built up the excitement/enthusiasm... especially as you guys are getting yours one at a time. The GM of the dealership called me yesterday to tell me car should be there Monday and I should be able to get it Tuesday after they install my options.

After seeing the pics of your baby, I know I made the right color choice.

congrats and lmo for having 1400 and not knowing how to post pictures!!! it happened to me before, so the feeling is mutual jajajaja.
Want to see more picts!!!

TL Tech 18

Nice looking TL (even if it's a 2012) .... and the wheel upgrade makes a big difference.

acurator99

Sweet ride dude. Hope you paid cash for it. Enjoy !!

Treblig

Yes it is. Apparently you know them.

Thought I recognized it.

Linmk2

Nice!!!!!!!

Treblig

Are you a customer?

a35tl

Your TL looks great. And for the record, you're not the only one who doesn't know how to post pics. I read the how tos from these guys and they declare how simple and easy it is yet their vernacular is so foreign to me that I get lost from not being able to interpret their words. Oh well. Maybe someday I'll learn. Congrats on the TL. You're going to love it.

Treblig

Thanks, I can't wait to bring her home! Have some modest mods planned for it - tint, aluminum pedals, hoen endurance yellow fogs and down the road maybe a new set of wheels.

And on that posting thing, I thought I read their words verbatim, but the end result was, fail. I'm still working on it though!

VQPower37

congratz ... the car looks great especially with those wheels!

Where my TL was bought new in 2005 by the original owner, and where I bought it used a few years ago. I usually go to Ed Martin for service though...its a bit closer for me.
