Minnesota TL Owners

Just curious if there are any other 3G TL owners in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area......I think it would be kinda cool to know some people who are local to discuss good shops, dealers, etc.

Let me know if any one else is interested in possibly starting a TL club of some sort around here.

If you want to find out who lives where in Michigan this thread is fine, but any talk about clubs or meets must be posted in the Acurazine Clubs & Meets Forum.

Very cool

Do not mentioned about a meet in this thread, otherwise it'll get locked.

So with that said.. I see around 2-3 TL 3rd Gen on the road daily. I'm sure one of those guys are you.

My typical route going from home to work is 169, in a black 06 TL, no mods no tint (yet).

PS. I am azn, so wave if you see one, and if they are confused chances are it's not me :P

I'm in EP. There are quite a few of us around from the Minneapolis area. For reference of past discussions, please look at the following links:

Minnesota TL Owners - This one got locked due to meet talk

Minnesota December 13th Meet

Remember let's just do this thread a MN check in. If you want to be kept up-to-date on talks about a next meet post in or subscriber to the thread that lusid posted above.

Otherwise glad to see a growing number of MN TLer's.

To roll the windows down with the remote transmitter, just press the unlock button on the remote twice. When you press it the second time, hold it down and the windows will start to open. If you release the unlock button while the windows are going down then they will stop.

There is no stock way to use the remote to roll the windows up. If you use the key in the door lock to lock the doors and hold in it the lock position then the windows will roll up. Same applies to using the key to unlock the doors. It may require a double key turn to lock/unlock with a hold for the roll up/down to occur.

There is an after-market solution to the roll up from the remote. Just seach for "window roll up module" in the forums and you'll find it. It may even be posted in the 3G garage.

With that tint, notice any scratching on the tint itself? Even if does carry a lifetime warranty, still a PITA to take it back to get it fixed.

Hey Buda, I think you saw me!! I'm in EP as well. I just checked my calendar and that day you mentioned I was going down 212 towards Bluff Creek Golf Course. Around 3 PM or so? I haven't been on the board for a while, but with summer coming around have to see if there are any mods I can do...

I'll keep an eye out for your Tl, I dont remember seeing it yet.

If that was you I was behind you most of the time. You would have been turning left off of Prairie Center onto 212 heading south/west.

I live off of Charlson behind the Flying Cloud airport. I work in EP near the vikings winter facility. I have an NPB with body kit and tint. My sig has a link to my thread with some pics.

Most of the TL's I've seen in EP are stock and have an old lady driving them. One exception was a hot asian chic, but the kids in the back ruined it.

I just talked to Denis at sun control in brooklyn park and he said they install the moleskin on all of the tls they do. he quoted me $269 for 20% pinnacle.

i also bought the 3M nosemask when i purchased the car--dealer installed for $299. they call it a nosemask but it's more like a hood mask. they don't install any on the front bumper.

No, it was on the hood and side mirrors I think. He could have done the bumper but that would have been another $500 and I didn't feel like having that done yet.
