CL-S vs. Honda Intrigue TL-S?

well....it was around 6:45 am in the morning and i was on my way to school....had class at 7am.....pretty early huh? ....took the streets and entered the freeway....right after i merged into the freeway...i see this TL...(not sure if it was a type s or not cause the person took the emblems off)....this is something i have never seen before....the back of the trunk where the "A" is supposed to be...that person put an "H" there....and i think it said intrigue....or something under it.....i know its possible to change the emblems in the back.... i just never seen this type of style.....but anyways.....i'm bone stock....but very well maintenanced car....running very smooth....i see that the TL has some kind of modified dual exhaust....very big.....looked like the size of 2 liter bottles.... ....OEM lip kit all around...CAI i presume.....lets just say that i thought the TL would have ate me alive....that's what it looked like.....it was a pretty modded car....so yeah...to the race....i was in SS mode in 4th gear around 3,000 rpm when i saw the TL.....we were both about right next to each other.... i dropped it into 3rd....kept it around 4,600 rpm.....that's when the TL sees me and punches it...i hear the roar of the intake and feel the vibrations of the exhaust.....so i punch it....shifted into 4th....floored it.....and surely....i'm slowly creeping away from the TL .....i was probably say about 1-1.5 car legths ahead of the TL....the TL's headlights were in my rear view mirror the whole time after i shifted into 4th....weaving through traffic.... i exited the freeway cause i had to go to school but the TL decides to follow me....i stop at a stoplight.....the TL pulls up next to me....and it was a GIRL! i didn't think it would be a GIRL...heh...i looked over at her...she looked over at me....and after that...we both went our own ways...i went to school tired as f*** and thinking about that race.... 1 point for the CL-S.....0 for the TL... ...

It probably said Inspire on the back, if it was truly a TL.

Honda Inspire - Japanese version of the 2nd gen TL. The current Inspire is the Honda Accord.

Yeh, not too many folks do it. They de-badge the TL and replace the lettering with the "INSPIRE," replace the "A" to an "H," etc. There is a really nice looking one out here in NY. Blue and well kept. All the badges were changed to say Honda instead of Acura. Everything from the back, to the grill, under the hood and inside the car. Can't remember who owns it.

haha, me too i got everything except the air bag (won't be coming for a while... if ever), shift knob (soon) and key/remote (sometime down the road) as far as OEM stuff goes.

in addition, i want the window visors and the spoiler (neither are a priority so i can wait for these).

here's what i got so far:
Front Grille
Rear Emblems
C-Pillar Eagle Emblems
Modulo Sideskirt Emblems
H Center Caps on Wheels
H Engine Plate
Door Sills

and i think thats it.

Nice, may want to take the "Acura" license plate frame off and replace it with a "Honda" one. I like the Mugen Spoiler.

I also think the mod should move this thread to street encounters.
