Got my TLX!!!

Hey everyone i'm new to the forum. So i've been following the TLX since January while I still had my 2010 TSX. About 3 months ago I made the mistake of trading my TSX in for a 2014 Mazda 3s GT, not a bad car but it didnt live up to my Acura even for the short time I had it. So Tuesday I went to my Acura dealer intending to just look at the TLX and take one for a drive, never intended to buy it since I just got a new car. Anyway I just couldn't resist, I fell in love. So I left that day with my new TLX V6 W/Tech, and I couldn't be happier! I would like to post some pics but can not figure out how on this website. Any help would be awesome!

TLX (and TSX) to me is an upgrade over Mazda 3 any day. ILX maybe can compare closer to the 3. Congrats on the new car.
.......I'm just still waiting for the dang sh-awd so i can see if it was worth the hype.

Congrats on the purchase! I am sure you made a good decision.

Photos should be placed in the Photograph Gallery. Start with this link for instructions on how to post the photos. I have bookmarked it as I will be doing the same in about a week (when I have my car and a member for 15 days). There is a comment that you may not be able to do this until you have been a member for 15 days.

Thanks! And I know I really would love an SH-AWD, but I live in Atlanta so it doesn't really snow here very much, and because of that I couldn't justify the extra money, and worse MPG's. But yes I agree about the Mazda 3, it does not compare at all. When I bought it all I was focused on was the tech and the MPG's, and I feel like an idiot for buying that Mazda at all.

How much more is it to get the tint done through acura? And how much for fogs since tech doesn't come standard w/ them?

299 for 4 windows tints and 891 for fog installation. Its a bit of a rip off but then its the only option i see as must have as of now so i m willing to splurge. Decklid spoiler, chrome molding, illuminated door sill trim, all of that i can get later for less.

Thanks!! The color combo does look great in person, for me it was between that and the Black Copper Pearl with Espresso, as good as I think the Graphite Metallic looks that was the color of my TSX, and I didnt want another car the same color. And I will be posting pics now that I know how, as soon as my initial 15 days are up. It will not let me post pics, or even edit my posts until then.
