Any SEATTLEITES out there?

Hey Friends!

Just bought a 3rd Gen (2004) Acura TL! Manual transmission, 148xxx miles, and very clean inside and out!

I'm an Acura--even more so a car mechanics-- virgin, haha.

Looking for someone around the Seattle area who can show and teach me about the internal function of my vehicle, the finer side of Acura DIY, and how I can milk the most out of my experience as a TL owner.

Totally a casual, car friend kind of thing. See if it's fun, you know?

Anyway, cheers!

I personally will most likely have my car in winter mode. My birthday is the 20th. I'll be out of town from the 25th to the 2nd so it would have to be before that. Plenty of time to plan. It's also winter toy drive season then.

I felt the same way when I get my TL new. The bumper should be pre-marked and the lip covers the drill holes. You can do it!

If you decide to go through the dealer I believe they charge around $500 to install.

I am not sure where you are located but you could try and use my connect to possibly get a lower installation quote. I am close with a lot of the employees at Acura of Lynnwood and receive employee discount on parts and service.
