If you order a key that is pre-milled it is much easier because most places can cut it and program it, although it won't be cheap.

If you order a key that isn't milled then it will be hard finding a place to mill it, most places just cut it. And milling it will just add more $$ to the process.

Thanks for the info. That is why it has been so tough. I just ordered from an acura dealer online and of course they aren't pre milled. Only route I found was just sending it to heel toe auto. I know it has been said numerous times but I felt like someone could pull this off. Guess I was too optimistic.

I guess it is too late to return it and get a milled one?

Too much hassle. I may as well just bite the bullet, admit failure, and send it to heel toe. lol

I have not seen any but it's pretty easy to do. I took off the bumper the first time, but maneuvered my way the 2nd time around without taking off the bumper. I wouldn't mind helping if you need any

I think ebay has one that is grill less. I forgot the manufacturer someone had it on here

trancemission

I think have a pic of the break down of the grill which may assist you...

trancemission

I have the service manual but didnt really see anything about taking the grill out.

I did my own grill and it was pretty easy. The only part that was a bit hard is that little piece of trim at the bottom

I just wanted to chime in and say hello to everyone. I purchased my first Acura today at Goodson Acura in Dallas. 2009 TL with Tech. Looking forward to getting to know everyone here.

I was also wondering if any of ya'll had recommendations for a good place to get tinted? I saw a couple pages back people talking about Tritek?

trancemission

Ive been to Tritek and they did a great freakin job, plus they are really nice guys. I would hit them up fo sho.

Welcome aboard....I know I keep saying this but we will meet up soon.

We just have to plan and execute.

Who has the TL:
Driving down 66, White Type-s with I believe yellow fogs, turned on 66 and Rowlett

Also who has the black on black TL in Rowlett with Aspec kit ha.
Just thought I would see if there were an TL enthusiast in Rowlett/Garland

olleh

did you get the Madico Charcool film?

dieselsaint88

Someone had a whole list of DIY threads and they had several on there. Surprisingly, it was really easy. Thanks for help guys I appreciate it

trancemission

Thats a good question. Im not exactly sure what we got. It was my wifes saab they did. I pretty sure it was the Madico. I went with what they recommended.

Guys it got crazy nuts outside about 45 minutes ago. I moved my car to covered parking before it got bad but a few still hit me. I really hope they were small enough in the beginning that they didn't dent...

Well a storm literally just popped up here outta nowhere. I fkn hope there is no hail.

TrojanTSX

I hope yall are ok. I am now just getting my TSXs into the shop from the last hail storm (april 3rd).

Prelim on the 2011 is 3300

Prelim on the 2009 is 5800, which is the first one in the shop now and will not be out for atleast 4 weeks if they dont decide to total it.

Friend of mine in DFW....eek

Oh wow. He has mine beat. Mine were laying on the ground for about 30 minutes before I went back outside and took the picture, I dont think they were nearly that big when they fell though.

Tucked mine into the garage as soon as i heard hail...

stellalegend

The wife got stuck in it in our 07 Tl-S. nothing she could do. Cracked windshield and almost every panel even the top of the quarters. Sucks....

trancemission

mine thank god is at the Love Field parking garage.....whew!!

opboarding

Sorry to hear that...

Last summer I got hail damage on every panel of my car after having it for only 2 months. Not a good feeling to have. Hopefully yours can be PDR'd.

Rick_TL-S

Our cars made it through the night. The more severe storms have a tendency to go around Ray Hubbard.

trancemission

MSR Track day tomorrow!!!!!

Catfisha

Luckily, my car didn't get pummeled by the hail. I've always cut back the hackberry limbs that hang over my car, because I loathe the tree sap that the leaves emanate at certain times of the year.
I haven't gotten around to chop them back yet, and I'm really glad I didn't!

disgruntlednut

Wow. That's nuts. We didn't even get a drop of rain in FW that day...

Majofo

Glad most of you made out unscathed. Sounds like it could be +1.5B in damages.

Silver Bullet

I'm in Rowlett.

Catfisha

Do y'all still meet up every now and then?

Hey guys,

Just moved back to DFW from New Orleans last week. Unfortunately, one of my stock rims developed a crack and is not holding air very well now.

Wondering if anyone here in the metroplex has an extra 2004-2006 stock 17" wheel that I can buy.

Thanks and looking forward to meeting some of y'all at future meets.

Craigslist would probably be your fastest find unfortunately most people dont sell individuals from what i have seen.
