Marcus Carradine: 2008 Acura TL

Marcus Carradine has been passionate about the import scene before he could even drive. After having some experience with other Honda platforms, his 2008 Acura TL was handed down to him when his father passed away. At first, he let the car sit in the garage for 6 months, but eventually he knew he had to start modifying it. Inspired by other builders, Carradine has been altering his TL to fit his own style since he took it out of the garage.
