TOMMYTOM83.....Great choice!! Welcome to Acurazine and wishing you lots of fun with your TL....It is an amazing car and getting the stick is a great choice as well. You will find that the members here are quite respectful and helpful.

Post pictures when you get a chance...you can post them by having an account on "photobucket" for example and posting the link here.

Congrats! 8K is pretty low miles for a 12'. I am also curious what color you got. I'm gonna guess black or white?

6M/T - very nice

Bellenova White Pearl. I will post pics when it is nice in IL. It has been raining on and off the past two days, because of the white pearl, but I would like to put pics up when the car looks pristine.

Congrats on the new ride. That is quite a jump from a Civic to a SH-AWD TL manual transmission! I am sure you are going to really love the new car.

Ha yes it is. My pops had a 03 CL Type S 6MT, I just had to get to my late twenties to comfortably afford an Acura. I have owned 2 Civic Si's, 1 Civic Ex and a mustang cobra ( miss the sound, hated the maintenance!)

Congratulations on your 2012 TL purchase and welcome to the forum...awesome car!

I'm guessing your purchase was from McGrath Acura of Westmont. If so, I was in the process of purchasing that TL, but was not able to make it to the dealer last Thursday to close the deal. I had to attend a family event. I had an appointment for last Friday after work, but the dealer emailed me on Thursday night and stated the TL was being sold as we speak.

While I am disappointed about losing the purchase, at least a fellow forum member took it home instead of me.

I've got a 2012 6MT too. I got it brand new 05/11. Last year I put on some Vossen VVSCV2 20x9's with Toyos. This year I'm installing a set of Tein SS w/EDFC to lower it a bit.
