i got black. i havent done anything custom to it yet since i just got it 2 days ago. actually i fell in love with how it came. i may do something with the interior though. Terrell is so cute though and i love his horn!




im currently trying to find a way to get that white sticker on the bumper of. someone told me to apply heat and then use goo gone? im scared to mess up the paint if i take it off.

Your color is called Nighthawk Black Pearl, code: B-92, commonly referred as NBP on the interwebs. I just bought a 3G TL somewhat recently also. For that sticker you can try peeling as much off, get some wax/degreaser from Wal-Mart in the car section, soak it in the solvent for a few minutes and it will come off. Get all the residue off and apply a little polish by hand to remove any slight surface scratches/scuffs.

Nice TL. Get rid of that sticker asap and I would start with tint for a first mod.

well i'm in the middle of getting another job. i love my current job at wamu but they cut my hours from 40hrs down to only 30hrs/ week so i can't get any mods right now. if i get this salary position that im having an interview for next week, i will definetly be doing things to the TL asap. right now i'm saving up to get something for the inside. has anyone heard of musiclink? i think that's what it's called. (an ipod hookup for the car). i think that will be the first thing i will be inquiring about. the second thing that i will do is activate the lojack (it just needs to get done).

no no no.... see the way it goes is.... since it's an Acura and a TL.. the name has to start with either a T or an A... hence Terrell TL

yeah i suppose you're right...

but on the other hand, i would have no problem with driving a girl car. i think if my TL were white, i would name it tonya and stick eyelashes above the headlights... ha ha i'm kidding!
